	This is the most wishful prediction I have even seen. Do
any Islander fans in New York think your team can go all the way?
As Dennis Potvin said, their bump-and-grind style of hockey, which
gave them four Cups, is finally taking the toll. They are physically
and mentally worn out. That's why they had a subpar (to their standards)
regular season. So much for playoff experience, I bet they can't 
even win the Patrick division, let alone the Cup.

Remember, you've heard it here first.
