You're right, Eric, I should have covered it, sorry.

Well...the Giants and Jets get mentioned - and they, like the Islanders, play outside of NYC and have NY in front of their name. Also, the Nets get mentioned occasionally (without having played the Knicks), and the Devils' don't? That's just inconsistent.

The only way the Islanders are in first place is alphabetically

EricGewiz, Because neither the Devils nor Islanders play in New York City aka Gotham?

Why is it when the Rangers play either the Isles or Devils, it gets mentioned b/c it's two local teams playing each other; but when the Isles and Devils meet, it doens't get mentioned? There are certainly plenty of Isles and Devils fans in the city for these "local" teams - go isles!

David Wright hit a home run in an exhibition game in Japan. How is that "under pressure"? I mean, come on. The game ended tied.
