Pens beat Islanders in OT

The Penguins finished up the regular season with a 6 - 5 OT win over the Islanders but the real story of this game was Sidney Crosby. Crosby entered this game one goal behind Stamkos and Ovechkin in the race for the goal scoring title, and 8 points behind Sedin in the scoring race. Crosby came out and dominated this game having two goals and 5 points by the middle of the second period. Suddenly it looked like the goal scoring title was his alone and he had a chance to win the scoring title that was considered completely out of his reach going into this game. Unfortunatly he didn't get anymore points and Stamkos got an empty net goal to tie Crosby for goals. Despite Crosby not scoring in the third period I actually thought it was his strongest period of the game. If he didn't play defense and cherry picked like Ovechkin Crosby would win the scoring race by a large margin every year. It is amazing what he has become this season, nobody including myself ever thought he would become this good of a goal scorer. Wonder what he will set his mind to accomplish for next season.
