Penguins 3 Islanders 2
November 16th, 2007 by murph
Isles dropped their second game in a row last night vs. the Penguins. Even up they played pretty solid, but 6 Penguins powerplays kept the Isles on their heels, and the Isles couldn’t generate enough opportunities with the 2 powerplay chances they had. Their second powerplay of the game came with less than four minutes left in the game and was a pathetic 2 minutes of hockey generating no good scoring chances.
The Penguins are 4th in the league with 99 powerplays, the Islanders 2nd to last with just 65. Same as last year - Pens near the top, Isles near the bottom, and when these two teams play it’s so blindingly obvious how Team Crosby gets all the calls. The zebras are in cahoots with the Penguins, ignoring those (2) too many men penalties that should have been called.
