It's not over. That was the message the Islanders wanted to send Saturday night,

officially, now it is actually over for them. The Flyers got three objectives from James van Riemsdyk and
beat the Islanders, 4-1, at the Nassau Coliseum.
Coupled with the Sabres' win over the Devils in Buffalo,

Islanders (29-35-12) from the playoffs for the fourth straight season and fifth time in six
years.
"Obviously,
wholesale nhl jerseys, it's frustrating," goaltender Rick DiPietro said, "but these last six games
are still necessary for us. We have a great deal of young guys this team, and it's necessary that
we play these last six games and just keep trying to obtain much better."
They are essential for DiPietro, too. The oft-injured goalie was playing in just his second
game soon after breaking a facial bone in a fight with Penguins backup goalie Brent Johnson on
Feb. 2. He gave up four objectives on 22 shots Saturday night, two within 22 seconds within the 1st
period.
"With Ricky, I don't care about his wins or losses appropriate now, his goals-against average or
his saves percentage," Islanders interim coach Jack Capuano said. "I just want him to play
and get the rust off."
DiPietro looked rusty Saturday night. Jeff Carter beat him on a snap shot off a faceoff in
the Islanders' zone at 8:11 of the initial period. Van Riemsdyk caught him out of position
for a rebound off the boards at 8:33.
Blake Comeau cut the Flyers' result in a goal at 10:28, but van Riemsdyk scored his second at
13:25 to give the Flyers a 3-1 lead following 1. Van Riemsdyk scored his third goal,

first career hat trick, at 9:15 of the third. It was a power-play tally, snapping the Flyers
' streak of five straight games with out scoring with the man-advantage.
While Capuano said he was happy with the way his team stood up to the conference-leading
Flyers (45-19-10), it was the Isles' fifth straight loss to Philly and 20th in the last 21
meetings.
It's too late for Capuano to be concerned about wins and losses. Now he has to get this young
group to finish off the season.
"Habits, attention to detail,doing the correct thing?- that's what I want to see in these
last six games," Capuano said.
