Yeah it was a pretty awesome third period, I never thought the Islanders could give us that much trouble though, the habs better not think it's going to be easy this year, I hope this is going to make them realize.
If there's one major problem the Habs have had in the past while, its that they tend to underestimate bad teams and play badly against them- in the past few years, the Habs have constantly lost games against teams like Florida, the Penguins and the Flyers (back in the years when those teams were the worst in the NHL). Hopefully, as you say, they learn from their mistakes.
Islanders has been better than expected... We struggled against them too.. But hey, we havebeen playing some pretty shitty games recently. Excluding the Leafs game.
Not that I wasn't surprised by the Islanders taking the lead the other night, but better than expected? They're last place in the league right now... The only really good players they have are Wreight and Streit. They're a pretty awful team.
