Two OT wins and one embarrassing blowout. I’m exhausted.
Nevertheless, let’s look back at the (exciting, then excruciating) week that was.
Game 33: 2-1 OT win over the Flyers
Larceny. That was what Barry Trotz called this one. He wasn’t wrong. Ilya Sorokin straight up stole this game, which is something we haven’t seen all that often in this era of Islanders hockey.
Thomas Greiss and Robin Lehner had a few steals early in Trotz’s tenure but once the entire team got on the same page, having the goalie stand on his head just wasn’t necessary.
