That team looks badass. The Rangers are supposedly a fast team, the Hawks make them look like molasses in January. I hope they don't meet in the Finals. But who's going to eliminate them.

Best part of Moving to chicago. Brother in laws are season ticket holders and I was forced on the bandwagon. first time I ever had a contender to Root for

I liked it better when I first moved out here and they sucked. Used to be able to get a couple of tickets in the lower bowl for less than $25 apiece. Now it cost upwards of $75 for a standing room ticket and $100 and up for nosebleeds. Bunch of bandwagon fans here in the Windy City.

Nothing wrong with jumping on the bandwagon during the good times as long as you don't jump off when times get tough.

7:30 Monday night. Announced it late last night.

Sweet.

New job tomorrow and a series win tomorrow night to cap it off! Hopefully, at least. The Caps final line change will be a big plus for them, like it was for the Isles yesterday.

Good luck at your engineeeeeeeeering job.

Who is Vin?

and I don't recall a joke at all. Please retell, I love a good larf. I'm not one to get offended at jokes.

but don't insult my beloved Isles!

Is there even a rivalry?

Between the Islanders and Rangers? yeah, kinda

Unlike baseball and football, being in the same division, along with the Islanders early Cup success as the new guys on the block... its natural.

And on this board you have a lot of guys born and raised on the Island, so you get a lot of Islander fans.

NEW YORK -- The Washington Capitals play host to the New York Islanders in the first Game 7 of the 2015 Stanley Cup Playoffs on Monday, April 27 (7:30 p.m., ET, NBCSN, Sportsnet, TVA2). The Capitals and Islanders will meet in a Game 7 for the first time since their thriller dubbed the 'Easter Epic' on April 18, 1987. The Islanders captured that Patrick Division Semifinal series when Pat LaFontaine scored 8:47 into the fourth overtime period to decide the longest Game 7 in NHL history.

The winner of Monday's game will face the Metropolitan Division champion New York Rangers in the Second Round.

Game 7 Notes

* Home teams are 91-65 (.583) all-time in Game 7s in the Stanley Cup Playoffs but were 1-6 in 2014.

* The team that scores first is 115-41 all-time (.737), including a 4-3 mark in 2014.

* Thirty-nine Game 7s have required overtime (39-of-156, 25%). Road teams enjoy a narrow edge, 20-19 (.513).

* A total of seven series went to a Game 7 in the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs, tying the single-year playoff record set in 1994 and matched in 2011.

Team Game 7 results:

Washington Capitals (3-9)

5/13/13, Eastern Conference QF vs. NY Rangers (NYR 5 at WSH 0)

5/12/12, Eastern Conference SF vs. NY Rangers (WSH 1 at NYR 2)

Pretty amazing that the Islanders did not play a Game 7 between 1978 and 1987 considering how many Best of 7s they played in that timeframe, winning 4 cups and going to the finals 5 times in that span.

Lucky to be within 1 -- now we just need a strong 20 minutes and someone other than Halak needs to step up.

Oh well, it was a good run. Couldn't get their offensive shit together the second half of the season.
