      TBL@NYI, Gm3: Fallon, Macchio take in Game 3

      By Dan O'Leary

      There were more than a few famous faces in the crowd at Nassau Coliseum on Thursday.

      Actor Ralph Macchio and comedian Jimmy Fallon took in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Semifinal between the New York Islanders and Tampa Bay Lightning.
      Macchio, who reprised his role as Daniel LaRusso in the wildly successful series "Cobra Kai," is a lifelong Islanders fan and native of Long Island.

      Fallon, host of "The Tonight Show" is more known for
      attending New York Rangers games
      , but it seems he made an exception for the Islanders in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. He also recently
      roasted some NHL player pictures on his show
      .
      A group of New York Jets were also in the house for the game. Many of the same faces attended
      Stanley Cup Second Round games
      at the Coliseum.

      And what would a playoff atmosphere be without the latest couple from "The Bachelor," Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell?

      James, a native of Raleigh, N.C., rang the siren before Game 5 of the Carolina Hurricanes Stanley Cup Second Round series against the Lightning.
      The Hurricanes seemed a little heartbroken on Twitter.

      But as the saying goes, all is fair in love and playoff hockey.
