Ben Shelley: Isles’ second period collapse leads to 7-0 blowout loss against Penguins

I was hoping that last game was the game the Islanders would putting separation between them and teams below. They have a tough stretch of games in the next 7. They need to get back on track tonight against the Caps.

Once again I am asking this team to clear a puck.

They are just flinging it around in their own end.

Pageau!

Dobson!

Dobson is having himself a game.

The second period has been dragging. So slow for some reason.

How does Fasching miss the net, point blank, like that?

Great stick handling by Holmstrom so far.

Aho with multiple flubs in the offensive zone. Otherwise, this has been a great period

Reilly bailed out Bortuzzo there. Big time.

No question about it.

Best game for JGP in three years

Pageau!

Of all the bad luck

poopty ice negates the shutout. Bummer for Sorokin.

Yeah, not important other than for individual stats, but I was hoping that Sorokin would get the shut out.

Once the game was in hand that become the primary focus. I figured we would have a lapse and give one up. Instead a rut causes the puck to jump six inches over his stick and through the five hole. Awful luck

O/U was 5.5. Hmmmmm

I was also rooting for either JGP or Gauthier to get a hat trick.
