Mike and Dan reacted shortly after the Islanders' third period collapse in Game 2 against the Hurricanes, which turned a 3-1 lead into a 5-3 loss.
There is no goal-by-goal summary for this match. You all saw it too. The Islanders took a 3-0 lead with 12 shots before stopping play, allowing Carolina to take over and now come back with a 2-0 loss in the series.
It was the most embarrassing and unforgivable loss the franchise has ever suffered at the most important time of the year, and even a win on Thursday won't be enough to fully restore momentum.
