All it took was four games for the New York Islanders to power past the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round of the 2019 NHL Stanley Cup playoffs. How did they do that exactly?
The skill and experience of the Pittsburgh Penguins (Stanley Cup champs twice in the last three years) was enough for some to think the Penguins would “destroy” the Islanders. It’s not like the Islanders were blessed with a ton of quality in the lineup and how knows if what they were doing during the regular season would translate in the regular season?
