Well, Pittsburgh fans, have the Islanders got your team's tail! 
Speed and winning the puck battles is what helped the Islanders to a convincing 6-4 victory over the suddenly-in-trouble Penguins.
Tavares, Czizikas, Streit, Okposo had several points apiece while Malkin, Neal, Crosby countered for the visitors, before a boisterous & frenzied crowd at the Brooklyn arena.
The series is now tied at 2 games apiece.
Oh yes, a helping hand from Fleury, not to take anything away from the Islanders goals, but #29 has been less than stellar in this series. Don't be surprised if Vokoun makes his playoff debut for the Pens at home for Game 5. A change of netminder won't be the only tonic the Penguins need. The Islanders made short work of their defense and exposed Pittsburgh's flaws in the games that New York has won so far in this series.
So far, so good! WAY TO GO, ISLANDERS!!!

Fleury for Luongo in the off season?
edit:
Sorry didn't see you there! It actually does make some sense if they can make the cap hit work. Team Canada 2006 lives!

I can see Pittsburgh interested in Luongo, but I can't see why Vancouver would want Fleury.

That last goal was especially brutal. Why did Fleury back so far into his net like that? THere was no need on that play, and, it really lead to him deflecting the puck in himself. Once the pressure rises, Fleury just falls apart.

I wish we were facing Fleury in the first round.

Just 1 game too late. Or maybe 4 games too late.

The shot is actually travelling away from the goal line, nowhere near being on net without Fleury putting it in.

There's absolutely no reason for him to be inside his net there. If he's guarding the post like a normal goalie, that one doesn't go in off him.

No problem. Islander fans are very happy about it.
