On Wednesday night, when the New York Islanders tied the game 2-2 against the Carolina Hurricanes, Isles center Brock Nelson deliberately skated in front of the net and tapped Canes goalie Curtis McElhinney on the head. Down 2-0 in the series, it was an odd move to pull. Best-case scenario, the Isles win and the head tap only serves to piss off the Canes for Game 4. Worst-case scenario, the Isles lose and Nelson has to live with the consequences.
They did lose, both on the ice and on the internet, as Carolina won 5-2 and then the team Twitter account obliterated the Isles for Nelson's game of duck-duck goose.
