New Look Isles Dazzle

The excitement that built all summer finally culminated in the 2010 opener for the New York Islanders, and in front of a sold out home crowd, they ruthlessly and efficiently discarded the Edmonton Oilers 6-1, behind an amazing night from the new marquee line of Kane - Tavares - Okposo.

The three kids would actually end up the games 3 stars, with Tavares being first star with 2 goals and a helper. Patrick Kane, in his debut, had 1 goal and 2 assists, and Kyle Okposo added 2 goals. The three kids controlled the play and beat down the Oilers slower D by constantly moving. In fact, Sheldon Souray would end up with 4 separate unsportmanslike penalties as he could not control his emotions.

It was an all around dominating performance, finished off by a Rob Brind'amour goal in the third to make it 6-1.

The Islanders now rest up before hosting Minnesota in two days.
