Skinny errata

Quick correction:

I wrote:
This was the fourth time game 1 of a series has been decided in overtime and the Isles are now 4-0  (1980 QF, 1980 Final, 1982 Final).

It's actually the sixth time  (Isles beat NJ in OT in game 1 in 1988 and lost in Washington in game 1 in 1985)

So the correct reference is:
This was the sixth time game 1 of a series has been decided in overtime and the Isles are now 5-1  (Winning in 1980 QF, 1980 Final, 1982 Final, and 1988 DSF, while losing in 1985 DSF).


Forever1940 is the nom de plume of Eric Hornick, statistician on Islander home telecasts since January 21, 1982. Visit my blog: NYISkinny.com and follow me on Twitter @ehornick
