Sorokin was very good. I think on goal 3 his angle was a little off and gave Kapanen a little too much net to shoot at, but this game could have very easily gotten out of hand after the first if it weren’t for his play.I didn’t even clench when I saw him come out first.
We are most definitely SET in goal.
That's how you put your foot on the gas in the third. Still so satisfying that we get to have games like that now. Very often in the "Tavares era" the Islanders would benefit from a slow start to the other team but once the opponent started playing hockey they were in trouble.
I thought so too but enough went wrong on that goal that I just write it off to a great shot by Kapanen. But yeah Sorokin was a wall.Sorokin was very good.

Playoff Pageau, he is good player all the time but he becomes next level in playoffs. He is just one of those guys who raises his game.
isles can never get any credit lol. It’s always an excuse. Jarry wasn’t good but come one. Pageau and Palmieri goals were snipes.
Actually thought Barzal was ok today, he was safer with puck and created a good chance in OT. He will be fine and going to produce if this team goes on any type of run like last year.Are they letting players room together? Can Pageau take Barzal out to the arcade for a milkshake tonight?
This got me hyped!
just Awesome.
Watch it again. Palmieri is seriously Tavares’ brother. It’s unbelievable.

Now I can enjoy all of the other game until Tuesday.. it is so much easier to watch other games after we win.
Pageau obviously was a great pick up. Yeah we resigned him to a big deal but I'd rather have him than not. The Canadien press made fun of tis pick up last year(still pissed about the 80s they are).He does it all, scores, SHOOTS, and hits/plays defense. Sort of like the anti-Bailey.Playoff Pageau, he is good player all the time but he becomes next level in playoffs. He is just one of those guys who raises his game.
Amen to that brother!It’s like winning $500 at blackjack before your night out.
Yeah he seems to have spot up high.I mean yeah, his first SOG in the game was in OT. I’d like to see him shooting sooner than that.
Jarry sucks, fire it top shelf on him.
