Islanders vs. Penguins: If a tree falls on a ‘huge disappointment’ [Game #82]

If a tree falls in a forest during a meaningless Game 82, does it make a sound?

After so many weeks of high-stakes hockey, do you watch and enjoy tonight’s finale carefree, as a brief respite before the intensity ramps up again? Or are you sitting this one out?

Offseason Magnificent Dubas Wonder Stroke Erik Karlsson is bummed that he will miss the playoffs for the fifth consecutive year, calling his new team “a huge disappointment.” With an aging core, the Penguins wasted another great season from Sidney Crosby. Their fans and media are sad, and bitter that a team like the Islanders robbed them of the rightful playoff spot they spent the entire season trying to piss away.
