    What a gritty win ! Down 1 - 0 a minute into the game,,,,,3 minutes later its 2. - 0,,,,,,, isles get a power play goal but let Pitt score 20 seconds after that and are down 3 - 1 and most people think its over,,,,,nice 4 - 3 win for the good guys !
    I think the islanders hit everyone except Crosby tonight ,,that has to change ! Pitt has serious goal tending issues let the doubt set in !

    Awful penalty killing is really hurting the Islanders in this series.

    2 nd penalty was a killer,,giving Pitt a 5 on 3 and giving up those 2 goals gave them life and took the crowd out of it somewhat. Isles need to capitalize on Fluery playing so poorly and giving up big rebound after big rebound.

    As much as I loathe the Islanders, it's really cool to see the Mausoleum shaking right now. Crazy.

    Maybe.....JUST FUCKING MAYBE, they. Ould ignore the no breathing on Cindy rule and actually hit him, instead of letting him skate with the puck at will.

    While they act like Cindy has a three foot buffer zone.

    Bad call and bad penalty killing makes for a bad combination.

    Two things,,,,the announcers for this game were horrible! Among other things they called the Islander goalie Chu bock off ,,I thought I was watching star wars,
    The penalty in overtime was a horrendous call,,,,I will say it again the call on Streit was such a bullshit call ! Why did they call it ,,,,,,,because it was on Crosby that's why,,,,and then I have to listen to these announcers talking about the talent of Crosby and the speed of Crosby instead of saying that the call was a very bad one these clowns just suck crosbys jock,,,,,,sad that the game ended this way,,,isles played real hard and again showed a ton of heart!
    I thought you had to come close to committing murder to get a penalty in a playoff game,,,,,guess I was wrong :sad:

    Three goals in this game.

    The pull down on the pp leading to. 5 on 3


    Letting Crosby puck handle on the right side, and making the backhand feed into the crease when he should have gotten hit,

    Then in OT they do both. Avoid hitting Crosby as he takes the puck down the right side, then pulling him down when he beats the defenseman.

    He grabbed him by the shoulder and Crosby went down. If he woukd have checked him into the boards, he wouldnt have been in that position. If Crosby is within 3 feet of the boards, you have to hit him.

    Hes too fast and too skilled to back off, because you are playing backward and he can see the ice.

    There does seem to be an agenda, the bullshit call on the rangers for Delay of Game last night, that let the Caps win, was as ticky tack as the call in OT today.

    Crosby should find comfort in the fact that if he gets his brained sloshed around one more time there's always Olympic Diving as a plan B.
