Ned for President: Penguins Reef Islanders, 3-1
Yes, I know. Only a couple weeks ago I was touting Jansen Harkins for President following his dramatic shootout winner against the Canadiens. However, after watching goalie Alex Nedeljkovic perform signs and wonders of the Biblical variety during last night’s 3-1 trimming of the Islanders?
To borrow from former President Theodore Roosevelt, “Bully for Ned.”
Speaking of, Isles heavyweight Matt Martin attempted some bullying of his own just seven seconds in when he dropped the gloves with Penguins defenseman John Ludvig. Although Martin won the battle, landing a volley of hard rights and sending the Pens’ rookie to the ice, it’s safe to say he and his cohorts lost the war.
