He’s by far my favourite Penguins goalie.

Sorokin has been the best Islander in this series. This is the 2nd game that the islanders had no business winning at all.

Well I just thought it was assumed we all are.

So. Did you expect Bailey to shoot on the Jarry turnover?

He's actually petitioned the league to overturn the goal and record it as a pass for him

If Wahlstrom is unable to play tomorrow Zajac will take his place per Trotz

One of my buddies next to me screamed, “no pass!” before he shot

Kid is showing why he is going to be considered an elite goaltender league wide real soon. I don’t even want to talk about it for fear of something going cosmically wrong it’s that awesome. He looks incredible.

Ben only asked a question about the best forwards. If he asked the question about the best players, then Sorokin wins in a landslide.

Pens make smart dumps and pound the isles d and the create sustained possession. Isles did that game 4, theybneed tonhit the pens every chance they get

They also follow up the initial forechecker with their trailers attacking the halfboard. This way the first man in forces a hasty push of the puck by our retreiving dman and their second guy is right on our puck support player. The alternative then is throwing a sloppy pass up the middle which the Isles don't typically do.
The Pens dmen are also very aware and good at keeping players in front of them and skating hard to retreive dump-ins. When the Isles can commit speed to the pursuit, opportunities follow.
Honestly this is a hell of a good matchup. Both the pens and Islanders are built well to counter each other. The X Factor here comes down to our goaltending versus the Pens superior snipers.

Barry gets the matchups in his favor and I really think he found something in game four. Let's hope so

2 men on the puck and the d man pinches well its a great forecheck. Isles play a different game at home its like the have an adrenaline rush from the fans and hit everything and play a completely different game
