The Islanders defeated a red hot Rangers team with an impressive 3-0 shut out, sending a statement to the east and the rest of the NHL. They have far exceeded the expectations many had for them coming into the season and don't look as if they are going to let up anytime soon. Lead by strong net minding and timely scoring, the Islanders have the confidence to meet all challenges head on, something that has been missing from this time for quite some time. Though the play from the team itself has been very impressive, a large amount of the credit has to go to head coach Jack Capuano. He has instilled a culture of belief and togetherness which has cemented the foundations of a contender for years to come. The patience and perseverance of both the Islanders and their fans is paying off in a big way and there is hope that the teams final season in the Coliseum will be truly something special.
