Lace ‘em up. Time for the Morning Skate.
* * *
THERE’S THE LINE
The Islanders are very upset this morning about how they lost Game 3 to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Islanders coach Jack Capuano thinks the Brian Boyle hit that led to him scoring the game-winner in overtime should result in a suspension. The Lightning might think that hit was par for the course after the hit that took out Jonathan Drouin.
BLUES CRUISE
Well, that couldn’t have gone any worse for the Dallas Stars. who suffered their worst loss of the season in Game 3. But hey, at least they got a kiss blown to them.
PREDS BOUNCE BACK
Nashville fed off their raucous home crowd, won Game 3 and avoided a tough 3-0 series hole. They did it because Shea Weber is a cannon on skates and Colton Sissons is a robot.
SID vs. OVI UPDATE
Neither of them scored last night. Wow. Can’t get it done in the playoffs.
