Last night was one of those games where your feeling that the Isles might pull it out is counterweighted all game long by the ever-present fear that they’re about to blow it.
Well, they blew it.
Not just the third-period lead they had, which finally gave the impression the first win at UBS was on the way. They blew any chance at points by giving up the winner with too little time on the clock to do anything about it. Each goal against featured attention gone astray. To top it off, the refs were absolute cowards in the third period, pretending Barzal wasn’t tripped right in front of them and missing a trapezoid violation.
