What was that quote attributed to that great philosopher Yogi Berra, “Déjà vu all over again”? That is what I thought for the first half of the game last night.
In the opening seconds of the game, the New York Islanders played dump and chase, beating our Pittsburgh Penguins to the puck. They suckered the whole black and gold 1st unit to their own right corner and then reversed it back up the wall to the opposite point and Ryan Pulock. The shot looked like it hit Michael Del Colle and then the side off the net or post, then the rear boards where it bounced slowly and toward the opposite side, from behind.
