I agree with Mikrofon, that if they don’t tighten up the D, the next series will be their last one. They left Vokie out to dry on one of those goals.
Vokoun didn’t help on the Islanders 3rd goal by not freezing the puck prior, but then you can’t cough it up the middle with full control of the puck. No doubt that PIT can lock it down, as they have demonstrated.
I confess to not following the Pens’ series that much (watching the disappointing MTL series) ... But it was strange in post-game that the “analysts” downplayed Vokoun’s capabilities & role going forward, though the switch from Fleury may have saved their playoffs.
Even w/o Spezza and other season-long injuries, Ottawa are still dangerous snipers, and old man Alfredsson usually brings his money game the deeper they go.
