The New York Islanders Just Showed Sometimes It's Better To Be Lucky Than Good

I watched this live and couldn't believe it. Maybe I don't know hockey but Kyle Palmieri getting the credit for the goal here is wild. Palmieri did a great job getting in front of the net but he got a MASSIVELY lucky bounce with Sebastian Aho's shot just bouncing off his stick. I personally think the goal should be Aho's but I'm admittedly a casual here. Someone explain to me why Aho shouldn't get the goal ... he did all the work. 

Listen, it's playoff hockey and you are down 0-2. You take whatever the fuck you can get, so the Islanders will take the lucky bounce here and never look back. I guess the old saying is true, "it's better to be lucky than good." 

The best news of all .... 

WE GET MORE ISLANDER GAMES AND GET TO WATCH THE BEST REALITY SHOW ON THE PLANET. 

Look at these absolute lunatics! 

Nice to see the Islanders play fired up from start to finish... we got a series folks ...
