Islanders falter against Canucks for third straight loss down the stretch
NY Post
The stakes on Wednesday night were aptly laid out by Hudson Fasching after the Islanders finished their morning skate.
“For a while, we’ve been telling ourselves, ‘Hey, we’re not out of this, we’re not out of this,’ ” Fasching said. “Now it’s like, all right, we’re officially in this now.”
Yes they are and Wednesday was when the Islanders could have finally laid down a long-awaited symbolic marker in this playoff race, with the team knowing ahead of time that a win would — at least temporarily — put them above the Canadiens for the last wild-card spot in the East.
The Islanders are very much in this.
But the aftermath of Wednesday’s game, a 5-2 loss to the Canucks, felt like so many other times this year when they looked down and out of it.
“We can play better,” Max Tsyplakov said. “Today’s not our day.”
