We were up 3-nothing and feeling in control, when from out of nowhere, the bottom dropped out like a sure-fire stock right after you invest. Within a ten minute span, the New York Islanders scored four unanswered goals, leaving our comfortable lead blowing in the wind. What happened? How did it all turn around so quickly? Had we eaten one too many hot dogs while seeing the sights on our day off?
Whatever the cause, we needed to find our game and find it fast. So we upped our tempo and started pelting the Islander net with shots at every opportunity. Fortunately for us, Captain Cam came through in the clutch and tied the game with 8:30 left on the clock. Then, with overtime looming, Pavel Bure did what only Pavel Bure can do, (mesmerize the defenders and create offense out of thin air). With 1:21 remaining, on a brilliant deke, Pavel slid the puck in for the win!
