Not really.. pretty spot on. Sid was slumping, that was obvious.

Vorecek over achieving... also obvious.

I wonder if he's been dealing with some kind of nagging leg injury or something. His skating has been so much better the last several games.

Well, when he was "slumping" he was playing with Spaling and Downie.

Could have also been just not fully recovered from the mumps. Never had it and not sure how the illness goes... but if it just made his body weak and he went back on the ice right after being cleared, it could have just taken this long to get back to 100%.

That's true of course, but he just didn't have any jump in his game. It was like a month or more.

Goc is missing, so Sill and his 1 career point gets the bump to the 3rd?

Honestly, the Penguins have been their own worst enemy in this one. Seems to usually be the case. The Islanders for some reason induce the Penguins to do stupid stuff, and moments later the puck is in the back of the net.

Yep. In a playoff series, I'd like to see the Penguins come out with a super conservative game plan against the Islanders. Rope a dope, play smart, wait for chances.

Agree. Shades of what happens in the playoffs. They fail to bear down and defend like they need to when it matters. Bunch of bad decisions on that last goal.

That wasn't a good one from MAF. But the game was already over thanks to Downie.
