Last night was a bummer, as the Islanders were 14 seconds away from a regulation win — after holding a 2-0 third-period lead — and instead were tied on a late howler for Jaroslav Halak and lost in overtime to a goal by that Malgin guy.
No, not the Malkin guy but the Malgin guy. Which somehow hurts worse.
Islanders Readings
- Recaps of the action from various mourners and celebrants: [LHH | Newsday "it’s like a bad dream" | Isles | Panthers | Litter Box Cats]
- The Panthers say they learned from — and got hair on the chest — last spring’s playoff loss, but Gerard Gallant cheekily and reasonably says he’d happily play that series again and bet on a different result.
