Islanders Esoteric #17-2008

Only 3 goals tonight but a lot of movement on the Esoteric.

You know that game from Price is Right called the "Range Game". You win a prize by stopping the marker in the right range of the price of the prize? Bergenheim and Campoli are in a range right now because whenever they hit the Esoteric they are making some changes to the Esoteric Landscape.

A few esoterics ago I wrote about making the top 100 on the all-time Goals scored list all you needed was to score 15 goals. You now need 17 Goals to tie Kenny Morrow for the 100th spot. This is due in part to Campoli and Bergenheim getting their goal amounts into the upper-teens.

Campoli's Goal breaking into the top 100 tonight, drops Don Maloney out of the top 100 in all-time Islander Goal scorers.
