>> chris: it's been a terrific series, and just giving you a little taste of what's to come. 1985 islanders trailed 2-0 to go to max. the seven-game marathon. islanders came back from 3-1. barry trotz group unable to finish off the islanders here today. performance for jaro halak. you said he would have to deliver. >> joe: and he did. it was a spectacular performance. he wasn't busy in the first 12 minutes or so of that first period. he had to have a big push at the end of the first period even though that is when washington scored their goal. then his play in the second and

third period was superb. he'll need that again in game seven seven. >> chris: and maybe the final salute ever, but the islanders have other plans. we'll be back to wrap. 3-1 islanders headed to the seventh game. m every month on the dot. you're like the poster child for paying on time. and then one day you tap the bumper of a station wagon. no big deal... until your insurance company jacks up your rates. you freak out. what good is having insurance if you get punished for using it? hey insurance companies, news flash. nobody's perfect. for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise your rates due to your first accident. see car insurance in a whole new light. liberty mutual insurance. at cricket wireless, we think you shouldn't have to worry about adding up all the taxes and fees to your monthly bill. that's why our plans start at just $35 bucks after $5 auto pay credit all in. cricket. something to smile about.
