Yeah but no Rich Pilon to rearrange someones face

I am torned here. Do I go with my heart and go with the Islanders here? the major underdogs but fighters to the end. would be a great Cinderella story.

Or do I go with my brain and go for the Penguins who are the major powerhouse and will fight with everything they got to get to the CUP? They let me down a few times but I am just confused.

I need a doctor

Also if I root for the Penguins then that is good news for the Islanders since the team I usually root for loses. So I don't know if I should help the Isles and root for the Pens or root for the Isles to help the Pens??

I'm 'torned' too....should I call you a Pens troll or Isles loyalist?

Hence, the Reasonator!

The Islanders are clearly an extreme underdog in the series, therefore, they need to take advantage of the absence of Crosby and Orpik. Orpik would have been assigned to Tavares, leaving the slower-footed Douglas Murray to mark Tavares tonight. This is a slight advantage for Tavares, who may be able to open up more room around the net with his quick hands and feet.

Crosby's absence allows the Bailey - Nielsen - Okposo line to be assigned to mark the Malkin line, exclusively. This makes Capuano's job easier with matching line against line, especially with the game at Pittsburgh and the Penguins getting the last change as the home team.

That being said, tonight is a must-win for the Isles if they want to make this a good series. Let's Go Islanders!

Malkin's line could have Dupuis, Morrow, Kunitz, Neal or Iginla. Looks to me like the 2nd line is more like 1B line.

Ha, easier said than done. And Staal usually goes mono E mono w him & it looks like he won't be back.

I still say Rangers in 6.

Capuano says Reasoner "can do the job for us, no question."
Sounds like he's in and Joensuu is out.

Staple should've asked, "What job is that you're speaking of Jack?"

I am not a troll I have been on this blog more than the Penguins they can not accept my ways of being both a Isles fan and Pens fans. you guys are more accepting.

I don't know what I am

If Henrik plays like he has recently & played last playoffs it should be enough, even w goals at a premium, although we did score the most goals in April so who knows. Can't wait.

Decoy. Bylsma will stick 4 guys on him and the other 4 will have ample open ice. Big letters on the whiteboard in the dressing room...

DON'T LET MARTY BEAT US!

It's moves like this that make me lose whatever miniscule amount of respect I had for the guy. It's just so stupid I can't wrap my head around it.

Wait for it that will be next. If JT does not score tonight he will call him out and then next game we will see REasoner on the first line since he has playoff experience

Well, it's not that one.

He's putting someone who can't skate, hit, score, play defensively, win faceoffs. He can't do anything, he's that bad. The guy is beyond washed up. He was'nt playing when we were playing well, why play him when we are starting the playoffs. It's (frank)ing retarted
