Aren’t the Islanders supposed to be, like, good?

And bounce back they did!

After being run out of the building by the Washington Capitals on Wednesday (although they did make it interesting at the end), the Philadelphia Flyers put together a nice margin of victory of their own, beating the New York Islanders 5-2 at the Nassau Coliseum on Saturday night.

Jakub Voracek had a phenomenal game, registering a couple of assists while also finding himself amidst a controversy thanks to a “reverse hit” that injured Johnny Boychuk early in the third period.

While it wasn’t the cleanest play, Jake was assessed a five-minute major, and then was still the subject of a few embarrassing attempts at retribution by the Islanders, none of which were particularly effective against the deceptively strong winger.
