Advanced Playoff Studies: Dirty isn't enough if the Islanders plan to keep the Coliseum open

I don't want to talk about Game 6 because I'm afraid if I talk about Game 6 it means Game 6 is getting closer and the end of Game 6 is getting closer and then I'll have to contemplate the possible end to Islanders run at Nassau Coliseum and, subsequently, my own mortality.

So instead, I want to talk about Game 5, starting with the day before it. After their OT loss in Game 4, the Islanders were asked approximately 17 zillion questions about Tom Wilson and his hit that knocked out Lubomir Visnovsky.
