Barry Trotz on Islanders/Rangers: 'We don't like them, they don't like us'

The Islanders are in the midst of a disappointing season, heading for a playoff-less finish after consecutive trips to the Eastern Conference Final.

But they showed up on Friday night, bullying the playoff-bound Rangers in their own backyard in a 3-0 dominant shutout victory.


What helped the Islanders to such an inspiring performance? If you ask head coach Barry Trotz, even in a lost season, it always feels good to take down a rival.

"Rivalry, plus we don't like them," Trotz said. "They don't like us."
