Islanders fall to Penguins in crucial Game 3 as rally falls short
NY Post
In all three games this series, the Islanders trailed the Penguins heading into the final 20 minutes. The deficit was two goals this time around, the largest the Islanders had faced.
Despite two mediocre periods, the Islanders kept their heads in it and potted three goals in the final frame, tying the game up twice. But Penguins fourth-line winger Brandon Tanev had the last word, batting the puck out of midair with roughly 3 ½ minutes left in regulation to hand the Islanders a 5-4 loss in Game 3 at Nassau Coliseum. The Penguins have a 2-1 series lead.You are the face of Major League Baseball, the $700 Million Man, and your close friend, your interpreter, betrays you, allegedly steals $16M from your bank account to pay off his gambling debts. An MLB investigation into The Scandal Heard ’Round the World, from here to Japan and back, thankfully absolves you. It does not cost you your reputation, or your growing legacy.
Whenever seasons like the one the Knicks just completed end, I always find myself back outside the visiting locker room at old Mile High Stadium. I always find myself standing with a handful of writers surrounding Bill Parcells maybe half an hour after the Jets lost the AFC Championship game to the Broncos.
