Just when it looked like the Islanders would play their 11th overtime period in 22 games, Owen Nolan notched his second goal of the night with a little over a minute to play in the third period to break a 2-2 tie, stun the Islanders and give the Wild a 3-2 win at Xcel Energy Center last night.

Practically beside myself right now in gush mode, as YouTube sensation Josh Sacco aka Lil Herb Brooks is sitting right next to me in the press box right now. ADORABLE. He's even wearing the same lil blazer and tie as he wore when re-enacting Herb Brooks legendary MIracle speech on YouTube ...

Extrapolating from his current rate of output -- four goals in just six games -- Islanders forward Trent Hunter would be among the National Hockey League's top five goal-scorers now if he had be able to play in all of his team's 21 games. A what-if that brought a laugh.

MacDonald got the heads-up yesterday from Bridgeport head coach Jack Capuano that he should make his way to Beantown and after a two and-a-half hour drive, MacDonald joined the team last night to get ready for his first NHL game of this season (he played three games with the Islanders last ...
