If you think talent is overrated then watch this game. In the New York Islanders 3-0 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, talent was the key to victory as the Islanders dictated the run of play but couldn't find a way past Michael Hutchinson.
A quick play by Kasperi Kapanen on rookie Noah Dobson followed by an equally quick play between Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews is all it took for the Islanders to pick up the 'L'.
Talent won tonight.

Slow.
