Bertuzzi feels misconduct that led to Islanders' comeback was undeserved

If you weren't watching the finish of the Detroit Red Wings-New York Islanders game Friday night, take a quick second and review the insane third period in which the Islanders notched four goals on the same five-minute power play.

The four-goal explosion was precipitated by a five-minute major slashing penalty to Red Wings forward Tyler Bertuzzi for a wack on Islanders tough guy Cal Clutterbuck. A penalty that Bertuzzi feels was too harsh.

"Was a heat of the moment thing. I don't think it deserved a five. I think it deserved a two-minute penalty," Bertuzzi said postgame, according to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press. "It was more or less just sticking up for myself. ... I regret it."

Be the judge for yourself. Here is the slash in question:

Bertuzzi was subsequently tossed from the game and the Islanders proceeded to bury the biscuit an improbable four times in less than five minutes.

Quite the finish for the Islanders. Not so much for Bertuzzi and the Wings.
