Not sure if this was really planned, but this:

October 7, 1972 - Islanders lose their home opener and first game in franchise history, 3-2, to the Atlanta Flames. Ed Westfall scores the Islanders' first goal at 17:29 of the second period.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
