4/8/11- Penguins @ Islanders (Nassau Coliseum)

After the Pirates home opener, I went up to my cousins house in Ohio for a night, cause Friday morning I left for New York City (Great place, been there twice in 2 months!) We all stayed at my uncle's friends house, he lives in Manhattan. This was my second time at Nassau Coliseum, its an old crappy looking arena, but I like it.

Nobody could score the game winner in OT, even though both Penguins and Islanders had some good chances to win. The game went into a shootout.

Like I said before, the arena is old and not appealing, I like it. I'd love to come back to Nassau Coliseum again for a third time. The attendance of the game was 16,250.

The regular season is now over, and the Penguins will play the Lightning in the first round of the playoffs starting on Wednesday night. Hopefully I can get tickets for a playoff game this year.
