Witness: Don King hypes up Scott Gordon's post-game presser
Scott Gordon doesn't go crowing about his Islanders' impressive performance thus far, so we got Don King to do it for him.
| Final - 11.16.2009 | 1 | 2 | 3 | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| New York Islanders | 1 | 1 | 2 | 4 |
| Boston Bruins | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
Scott Gordon doesn't go crowing about his Islanders' impressive performance thus far, so we got Don King to do it for him.
Matt Moulson continued to shine with two goals, as the Islanders' forecheck and Dwayne Roloson's goaltending enabled a 4-1 win in Boston.
Game Preview: Islanders @ Bruins
Sans Brendan Witt, the Islanders 7-game road swing continues in Boston, where the Bruins will no doubt look to tighten up after a 6-5 OT loss in Pittsburgh.
Andrew MacDonald is called up for the Islanders-Bruins game to replace Brendan Witt, who is excused for personal reasons. Realistically, this may not be a drop-off.
