Those four cups were the highlight of my childhood. I caught some of the Bruin games after like 30 years of not caring. What are our chances vs Tampa? And, then Las Vegas? You should start caring again. This Isles team, no matter how much some of us bitch is solid throughout the entire line-up and they come to play every night. It's very easy to root for this group of players and of course Trotz. |

What a game. Clinic in playoff hockey on the road. This was not stealing a game, we were the better team today. Heavy forecheck, physical, winning puck battles, controlling the puck, keeping TB in their own end through most of the 3rd period. Bullshit penalty call gave them the 6 on 4, but aside from that final 90 seconds, we controlled almost the entire 3rd period. Was really hoping to get a split in Tampa, but now I want game 2 also. LETS GO ISLANDERS!!!First ten minutes of the game they were a bit lethargic but then we started playing our game and frustrating TB the rest of the way. And Pelech might be the best defensive Dman in the game. We're basically rolling with the team Garth built with a better coach. Lets take game two and end this one early. LGI!!!!! |

It's very easy to root for this group of players and of course Trotz. And this team is built for the playoffs. We roll 4 lines, 2 solid goalies, strong defensively, disciplined, don't take a lot of penalties and most importantly, we are physicial. 3rd in the league in hits in the regular season. lead the league in hits in the playoffs. We wear teams down. We are a tough team to play for 6 or 7 straight games. Lightning are tough, there is still a long way to go in this series, but we are not an easy matchup for anyone in the playoffs. |

Awesome workmanlike effort today.
Anyone who says that’s a boring game doesn’t know dick about hockey.

Lee, Pelech, Pulock, Bailey, Barzal, Bo, Leddy, Czikas, Leo, Eberle, Clutterbuck, Nelson, Martin originally, Mayfield. I will still defend Garth as a guy who had his hands tied behind his back because of Wang. Just look at our roster.....this is the team Garth built. Lou and Trotz have been outstanding but you can't overlook who built the core of this team. |

Third period is isles best. Maybe they pull off the W We all wanted that win but it's near impossible to go up 2-0 on a team like this on the road. Back to the barn we go. You going to any of the games? |

Had to figure that there will be a game or two like last night. We need to keep games close with them. Ideally play with a lead, but we need to at least stay within one goal. They are deep, they have a lot more offensive firepower than we have, and once we have to play from behind, we will need to take chances to get our d-men involved in the rush, and a 2-1 game becomes 4-1 awfully quickly.
We are back home tomorrow night. We can play the matchups. Get some good goaltending and (hopefully) score first and play with lead.

Wow that was a really lame, uninspiring first period, at home.
