"We talk about all year to be bold and to play with some swagger and clarity and belief in what we're doing. I think that's what we're doing. We're going out there, staying calm, and playing our game. We believe we can come back. All we wanted to do was win that third period. I'm no genius, but if you don't win a period, you don't win a hockey game."
"The intangibles needed to make a long run in the Stanley Cup Playoffs have largely remained unchanged: Poise under pressure, a knack for comebacks, and a magic touch in overtime. The New York Islanders seem to have all three of those in what is becoming as magical a season as it is surprising."
The New York Islanders, under coach Patrick Roy, are experiencing a magical season characterized by remarkable comeback ability and overtime success. They recently defeated the St. Louis Blues by overcoming a 3-0 second-period deficit with four unanswered goals, capped by Mathew Barzal's overtime winner. This marked their 22nd franchise comeback from a three-goal deficit and their second consecutive overtime victory. The Islanders have won 10 of their last 14 games, with five of their last seven wins coming in overtime. They became the first NHL team to win all of their first 10 overtime games. Their 18 wins when trailing already ranks eighth in franchise history with 17 games remaining, demonstrating elite-level composure and belief in their ability to win games.
