Your nerves are shot for tonight's game.
Not fuh nuttin', but I swear you can feel the anxiety hangin' heavy over New York City this mornin', especially out here on Long Island. I was gettin' my cawfee in Massapequa and people were practically whisperin' about the New York Islanders game against the Philadelphia Flyers tonight. It’s not just the L from the other night, it’s this whole 'we gotta secure the playoff spot' thing that's got everyone on edge. You hear it from the guys on the LIRR platform at Jamaica, all the way to those poor souls stuck on the BQE headed into Brooklyn – it’s a nervous energy, like we’re all holdin’ our breath.
The big talk, naturally, is still about Noah Dobson. He’s out with that upper-body thing, and not fuh nuttin', but his absence is makin' everyone sweat a little more than usual. Without him runnin' the power play, you can just feel the collective groan from Long Beach to Long Island City. It’s like, we *need* this win against the Philadelphia Flyers, and not havin' Dobson out there just makes it feel like we're fightin' with one hand tied behind our backs. Everyone's just hopin' the other guys step up, but there's a definite 'prove it' vibe in the air.
Not fuh nuttin' — but we're the dynasty. See youse.
