I was thinking earlier how this seemed like a Flyers / Pens tilt from last year.

penguins missing brooks oprik.

that and Derek engelland shouldn't be playing in a playoff game... especially with Simon Despres sitting on the sidelines.

Engelland shouldn't be playing, period. He is not a good NHL defenseman.

As unusual as not blaming a goalie, who has given four goals in a game is, I see more fault in the team's effort than anything else.

exactly. MAF has been soft, but the team has been just as awful.

this is still the penguins series, i'm not worried, but this is making things much harder than needed.

how does that last goal get past MAF though, it didnt even touch a islander stick after okposo shot it, he basically scored on himself.

This game isn't even over yet, why are you looking towards Game 3 already?

It was a fluke, without question, but Isles have registered over shots on goal and Fleury made some good saves on a lot of quality Isles scoring chances.

just been confused as heck this season with Bylsma's lineup.

he's been putting Tyler Kennedy in over Bennett in the regular season (finally woke up for the playoffs)

he's been putting Bortuzzo and Engelland in over one of our top prospects in Simon Despres

Bortuzzo is a pretty good defenseman from what I have seen from him.

Before this thread gets out of hand, just going to say congrats Isles fans, your team played a hell of a road game...the last two periods anyway.

Real nice game by the Isles. They pretty much controlled the play for the last 50 minutes. Well done.

agreed. still the penguins series to lose, but they really are trying to make it harder on themselves.

we took our playoff mulligan, time to move on and get ready for game 3. will be interesting to see how we come out sunday.

I like him, but no way he should be playing over Despres. Despres is a special dman.
