Isles at .500 All-Time.

For the first time since 1978, the New York Islanders are at an all-time .500 winning percentage.

That's for the first time in 33 years. Out of 40 years of being a franchise.

Now, the Isles are on the borderline of becoming a losing organization. And that's after the crapshow of the 90s, with the coaching changes and constant losing seasons. The 00s, however, have not been much kinder.

It takes only one more game to be sub-.500, however slightly. But somehow, some way, the skid has to stop, and the Isles have a chance to stop it against the Philadelphia Flyers tonight.

I'm not saying it'll be easy, but it'll be something.
