Pens vs Isles

[Derk]

Surprise surprise, some solid goaltending for the Pens. So far.

I am happy for Vokoun, he soldiered very well in Nashville and Florida in particular for so many years. In Pittsburgh he has a chance to redeem himself.

Pens advance. Will play the Senators.

Not sure if he would agree to it, but Luongo would be a great fit for the Islanders.

Same thought here.  He woold definitely be an upgrade to Nabokov and even DiPietro as the team's primary netminder, while the Islanders other young & unseasoned (back up) goaltenders (such as Kevin Poulin) develop.

A nice consolation for Islanders fans would be John Tavares as Hart Trophy winner (for MVP).

Without him & his contributions game in game out, the New York Islanders would never have risen this season to make the playoffs.
Take Tavares out of the line up and you take away haIf an Islander team right there, so to speak.  As Tavares went, so did the Islanders.
