Islanders

Islanders Going to Round 2!

Sometimes, playoff hockey is like a cicada.  It’s a swarm of noise, with players so fast you’d have thought they had wings, and every now and then there is a game, you’ll remember for the next 17 years!  Que the Islanders-Penguins Game 6.

Okay, so weird analogy I know, but I couldn’t resist.  That Islanders arena was loud, and you might get the top fan vote, I’m just saying!  Now, let’s talk hockey.  This was a back and forth game, and that’s why I said you’d remember it for the next 17 years.  Not for any record being broken, but just for how good the game play was.  It was surely one to remember.  At the end of Period 1, the teams were tied at 2 each.  You could tell this was a do or die game for the Penguins, and the right to advance for the Islanders.  The offence and defense were both amazing, both teams should be super proud.

At the end of Period 2, the score was 5-3 Islanders.  This would be the final, as neither team scored in the third.  Again, it was that good of a matchup.  Both of these teams deserved to be here, for their outstanding performance in this game alone.

The Islanders will now face the Bruins in Round 2.  Whomever is champ will rule the East Division and continue on for the 2021 Stanley Cup.  Honest, after watching both series, buckle up, I believe that series could go to a game 6 or even through all 7 games.  These teams are hungry for glory, and after such a weird season, who could blame them?
