Thoughts- YAY! A WIN!!! woohoo!. First half was U-G-L-Y UGLY UGLY UGLY! Second half was much much better, especially after PR's Velez was sent off for a professional foul, the PK was a good call...the red card may have been a wee harsh but it's good to see those calls going OUR way for a change. The 2nd straight red to PRs Ortiz, I thought it was Deldgado, was just absolute STUPIDITY. Throwing a ball into a players face, we're talking a full overhand throw from about 5 feet, not a soft underhand toss is just plain STUPID. The Islanders are VERY skilled and could be a really good team if they could keep their tempers under control, they had the same problem last season. They have the talent they just have these mental brain farts sometimes that cost them.
