In a game in which Scott Gordon outcoached Jacques Martin, the Islanders head coach was quick to heap praise on first star Sean Bergenheim, who with four of his 10 goals and eight of his 23 points coming in the last five games, is either teasing fans now that the season is lost or finally turning the corner.
