The New York Islanders typically require about four games to give up eight goals, but last night they accomplished it all in one evening.

”We’re not going dwell on it. We can’t do anything about getting this game back,” said Barry Trotz. “You have to let it go. You have to tear it up a little bit and move on.”

Happy to oblige.
