Patrick Roy had strong words for another weak Islanders display (Source: Imagn)
The New York Islanders turned in another disappointing outing as they went down 3-2 against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Coach Patrick Roy was particularly distraught with how his team handled pressure.
The Pens carried a 1-0 lead into the second period. Michael Bunting scored off Sidney Crosby's assist. It was No. 87's 1,034th career assist making him the all-time Penguins leader. The Islanders couldn't pick themselves up from the power play goal. Instead, they gave up a third goal much to Roy's dismay.
In the post-game interviews, Roy spoke about the team's mentality of giving up too easily. He said coming back from a two-goal is doable under any circumstances and the Islanders proved it as well by scoring twice in the third. But a third goal was too much for them.
