If we don't get Barzal back we have no chance because without him we have no pp. Isn't he expected back for Game 1? he’s skating with the team, so maybe back for game 1 on Monday. |

Fuckin pathetic. If you want to stop the Isles momentum, just take a penalty. How can a powerplay be this bad?

There is also a lot of bad blood brewing throughout this series. Carolina player went over the line today, lets see what sunday brings. LGI |

There is also a lot of bad blood brewing throughout this series. Carolina player went over the line today, lets see what sunday brings. LGI No, I did not shut it off. Third period was great. So much frustration with the back to back to back power plays until they finally broke through. Hopefully some of it will carry over, at least it has to shake Raanta's confidence a bit heading into Sunday's game. I thought he was getting into our heads -- not anymore. Loved the nastiness at the end. That was Islander playoff hockey. Still some work to do, but I am feeling way better right now than I was an hour ago. |

It was back and forth domination with spectacular goalie play, well until the end. When the Islanders out hit their opponents they can wear them down and win. This team is built for the playoffs so going one and done would be disappointing. It was also nice to see Romonav back because Balduc flat out sucks defensively. |

Sorokin just stole us a game. Let him steal one more tonight. Or better yet, lets just outplay them. Kill some penatlies. Score on a power play. Maybe Horvat and Barzal actually look like they know how to play together. Glad we have shown some fight, now lets win the damn thing. |

Never thought I would say this about hockey but the refs influenced this series. From game one....fuck all of them. |

carolina power play was the difference in this series, that and the isles lack of one. one fucking pp goal in 6 games in the playoffs, you might as well carry your bus ticket in your back pocket
that being said, isles gotta figure out what the missing pieces are. two trips to the conference finals with basically this crew a few years ago, couldn't get over the hump, and now regressing
lamoriello ain't impressing as of late

Gotta get some younger faster players in. Not sure how you trade out old and slow for fast and young though. |

lamoriello ain't impressing as of late It is beginning to look like the game has passed him by. You watch the skill level of some of these other teams in the playoffs and its like they play a completely different game. Much as I hate to see it, but both the Rags and Devils can play the solid defensive game we can, but they have so much more firepower than us. Only way this team is going to win as it is currently constructed is of Sorokin puts them on his back, but the rest of the team gives him no margin for error. |

Pretty good first round, considering. Only result that I didn’t like was TB losing, though I had the leafs to win it.
