After much speculation over who the New York Islanders would choose as their number #1 draft pick, they have selected John Tavares!!! Right up until the very last second, people weren’t sure if the Isles would choose Victor Hedman.
I think the Islanders really have struggled to create an identity and presence on the ice and I think that Tavares is the right player at the right time for them. I think he’s an incredible player (this year he had 58 goals in 56 games) and I’m really looking forward to watching the Islanders next season.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ryan O’Byrne scored on his own empty net during a delayed penalty after Carey Price headed to the bench waiting for the call! As a result, the game went into overtime and the Montreal Canadiens ended up not only losing their lead but also the game to the New York Islanders.
Just look at Price coming off the bench looking across the ice. He must have been so pissed!
