The Islanders weren't happy with how passive they were against the Blackhawks. Sure, they only lost 3-2, but there were times when they could've played a much stiffer game against such a high-flying offense. "Any time they had possession, we seemed to back off too much," Andrew MacDonald said. "When you've got guys with that type of skill and give them that much time, they're going to make plays." Captain John Tavares said the Islanders weren't "hard" enough on Chicago.
