Blackheads...Gotta Pop 'Em!

Remember those hideous third jerseys that the New York Islanders trotted out for this season?  I  know that you would like to forget, and I certainly would like to forget they ever existed, but they were on display again yesterday when they played against the Ottawa Senators.  According to the schedule posted by the fine folks at Icethetics, and in looking at the team schedule that posts their wins, losses, and OT/shootout points, the Islanders are 1-6-1 so far when they have worn the third threads.  So, I guess new clothes don't always translate into wins, and the Islanders are finding that out the hard way...again.  The Islanders have four more games with the black jerseys, and given their penchant for losing in those jerseys, does the word "superstition" mean anything to the Islanders players?  If so, then I do believe that wearing them for the league minimum required should be looked into for next year.
