Dropping a Pair? Awesome.

Isles 1: Lightning 4
Isles 2: Panthers 4

Just some quick notes:

  • The top line clearly can't do everything. It's time for the secondary scoring to show up. Shot totals were abysmal in both of these games- which means no established forecheck and very little puck possession. Also, the shots a lot of players did take were wide of the net or at bad angles (haha, no name-dropping intended~).
  • Mark Streit? Still a beast on the PP. And so very good at shot passes to the front of the net. I adore it.
  • You can't blame these scores on the goalies- Al Montoya and Evgeni Nabokov kept the Islanders in it for as long as they each possibly could have. Not much can be done when the offense isn't clicking.
Oh, well. It's been long enough for me not to go into detail about both of these matches. Not to mention I didn't watch either of them in their entirety (thanks, work).
Center Ice free preview is over as of tomorrow, which means I get to miss Islanders-Penguins on Tuesday night. Joy. Must scramble to find alternate source.
Night.
