Islanders vs Dallas Home Opener Preview

Today's the big day. The day we have all been waiting for. The home opener! The Isles will face off against the Dallas Stars at 7pm tonight. DP will get the start, good to see him back.

Last night, the Stars played the Devils and won in OT. My advice to the Isles: Jump on them early.


Here's what the roster will look like tonight, with Scott Gordon most likely changing them up

Comeau - Tavares - Parenteau
Moulson - Nielsen - Hunter
Bailey - Weight - Niederreiter
Gillies - Konopka - Sim
Grabner (Will sit out the first two games to adjust to Scott Gordon's system)

Defense
Eaton
Gervais
Hillen
Jurcina
MacDonald,
Martinek
Mottau
Wisniewski

DiPietro
Roloson

The Gillies Konopka Sim line is going to bring a lot of energy into the Coliseum tonight. All three of them will do whatever it takes to bring energy to the game, win, and stick up for their teammates. Looking forward to seeing them play together tonight.

Great job by DP earning the start tonight. We would of never thought this when the season ended, to see DP playing the first game of the 2010-2011 season. He should be energetic tonight, I know I would.

I will be live tweeting on Twitter tonight, so please follow me @IHB_NICK
