I agree. After the 5-0 asswhipping they administered in the first game it looked like boys against men then they get Crosby back and right out the gate in game two he scores two goals. I think the team kind of thought they could just walk over the Isle who then woke up and put up a fight.
I get the feeling they won't be overestimating them anymore, but if they continue to play loose in their own end, better teams are going to beat them. They allowed 16 shots on goal in the first period of today's game. That is pretty sad. Had Fleury not been on his game it could have been a blowout for the Isle today.
