Who first coined the phrase/idea that a goal lead is the worst lead to have? Because the Penguins are making that guy look like a genius.
A lot of Pens "fans" will pin this on Fleury, but the 3 goals given up:
Crosby attempts to reverse the play behind the net...and the puck kicks out of the boards [side note, this happened about 3-4 times to each team!] right onto Trent Hunter's stick. Is it possible Nassau Coliseum is actually shittier than Mellon Arena?
On a blocked shot, Joe Vasicek receives a lead pass, both Sydor and Nasreddine skated towards him...forgetting there are 4 other Isles on the ice, one of which, Miro Satan, is trailing the play and walks in alone.
Goal 3 Satan shoots the puck over the net, rebound out to the point. MA Bergeron gets the puck on net, Fleury gives us a rebound (No, Fleury wasn't perfect) and Rockin' Rob Scuderi watches from the front of the net as Satan knocks in the rebound.
I think they just wanted Al Arbour to go home happy.
