SYKORA SAVES THE DAY
PENS 1ISLANDERS 0It's a good thing Petr Sykora broke the scoreless tie at 17:32 of the third period, because the Pens and Islanders still might be on the ice at Mellon Arena.

No, I'm Not Saying What You Think I'm Saying...
Tonight's 2-1 loss to Florida in regulation (in a "4-point game," no less) goes to show that if you sign 2nd-line players to 1st-line money and 4th-D-men to 1st-pairing money, you won't be able to score goals or stop an onslaught, no matter who is behind the bench and how good your goalie is.The Rangers wasted cap space by signing 2nd-line centers Scott Gomez and...
