I still can't decide what to make of the outcome for Carolina tonight on the road against the Islanders. On the one hand, they did win 4-3. However, it's the Islanders, so we're not talking heavyweight stuff and what's more they gave up a freaking franchise record 60 shots on goal. Cam Ward stopped 57 of them and the 60th was a penalty shot with 0.7 left when Gleason covered the puck in the crease in a scramble right before the horn.
In the end a sort of poetic justice was served as Doug Weight was the shooter on the penalty shot. Earlier he practically knocked out Brandon Sutter on an open ice hit that was probably legal, but was pushing the definition of "legal" pretty hard.
