I'm a big fan of Orr and Mclaren but they really need to learn to pick their battles. After we killed the 5 on 3 and scored 2 goals, the momentum was TOTALLY in our favor. Those 2 back to back staged fights did nothing for us, but got the Islanders back into it. I don't know if they're instructed by Carlyle to take on all challengers or if they were just pumped up by the crowd, but in either case, those fights happened at the wrong time. Sure if the game got chippy or someone takes a cheap shot, by all means, they should do what needs to be done. But up 2-0 with the team kicking on all cylinders, it's totally unnecessary.

Anyone else agree?
