I like to think I know a lot about sports. I like to think I know about the legends of sports. I admit though, that my knowledge of hockey comes in somewhere around average. But one name I certainly know is Gordie Howe. It's sad to report that just a few days after Muhammad Ali's death, Howe has also died...

For the first time in 22 years, the Islanders won a playoff series and have advanced in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
