Mike Sillinger's 1000th NHL Game

In other Islander news, tomorrow night will be Mike Sillinger's 1000 NHL game when our boys play the Lightning. 1000 of anything is quite an achievement. To play 1000 games in the NHL is amazing. It's a milestone that not only means you're good enough, but tough enough, to play in the greatest league in the world. It's also got to be on of those touchstones that other guys in the room can look and marvel at.

Sillinger is already respected enough to be one of the Islanders; assistant captains but I am sure that playing 1000 games will put him in even higher esteems amongst his peers and teammates. Our best goes out to Mike and his family on this important career milestone.
