Vincent Trocheck Taunts Islanders Player for Taking a Penalty

As expected, no love was lost in Thursday night's rivalry matchup between the New York Rangers and New York Islanders. The Empire State nemeses have a long, heated history spanning all the way back to the 80's.

Nothing new here, and now both teams are considered heavy hitters in a stacked Metropolitan Division, making for exciting action in every matchup. On Thursday, Islanders defenseman Alexander Romanov took a simple delay of game penalty and Rangers center Vincent Trocheck gave it to him.


The Rangers took this one by a score of 5-3, outshooting the Isles 34-18. The Islanders slide to 1-3-2 in their last 6 games, while the Rangers even up with the Pittsburgh Penguins with 43 points.
