New York Islanders: It’s time to sit Semyon Varlamov for Thomas Greiss

The New York Islanders are on the verge of collapse. After opening a 3-1 series lead against the Philadelphia Flyers, they are looking at Game 7 and a potentially historic collapse. The fact that all three Flyers wins have come in overtime hurt just a little bit more.

On the bright side, if the Isles can pull out Game 7, we can forget the shakiness we saw in Games 5 and 6. However, in order for that to happen, head coach Barry Trotz needs to make a gutsy call. He needs to start Thomas Greiss instead of Semyon Varlamov.
