Limping to Long Island ... Merry New Year: Florida Panthers @ New York Islanders ... No News on Goalies ... Cory Murphy to Rochester

UNIONDALE, N.Y. -- Good afternoon from a windy and raw Long Island afternoon.

Wasn't at practice today but Pete 'Pete' Pelegrin filled in quite nicely. Here's what we know. First, we don't know who is in goal tomorrow against the Islanders. Could be Tomas Vokoun (who was 2-0 against these guys last year) or it could be Craig Anderson (who was 2-0 against these guys last year). Pete DeBoer says he'll tell me who's going when I get there in the morning.

Don't know if I can wait that long.

Also, Cory Murphy is headed to New York, only not this side of the state. He'll be off to Rochester on a two-week conditioning stint. I think Cory's been ready to go for a few weeks, but the Panthers don't really have anywhere to put him right now. Two weeks in Rochester and that might be a different deal. Sure Murph is excited to get a chance to play -- and he may help out the Amerks in the process. They could use it.

Will be LIVE! from the Coliseum tomorrow afternoon. Come on back and visit. See you in Hempstead...
