Capellini: Islanders Chose A Really Bad Time To Revisit Their Ugly Past

There was just nothing acceptable about what went down on Tuesday night in Brooklyn, regardless of what Jack Capuano says.

The Islanders showed, for one game anyway, that they still have a lot of growing up to do as far as playoff hockey is concerned. They let the Tampa Bay Lightning off the hook, and they did it in the most agonizing fashion.

What should be a 2-1 series lead is now a deficit, thanks to a bitter 5-4 overtime loss. And if the Islanders are not careful, Friday night could mark the beginning of the end.
