Look I'm not going to sit here and tell you why I cant see the Islanders go far looking at their roster while my team is struggling with them but saying they're a top 3 team seems a bit premature.

They did have the 6 spot with a couple games left I believe. (Maybe they wanted the Pens)
- lloyd095

I agree I laughed at the top 3 comment myself. In a couple of years maybe with another big wave of very good prospects coming up in the next couple of years but as of right now they are just as good as any other team in the east outside of you guys and Boston.

I am so on board with the Islanders beating the Penguins, I cannot stand that team, cheering so hard for you guys.

but, Isles fans have got to stop throwing crap on the ice when they get pissed, it helps nothing and one of your own players could get hurt.

Throwing stuff happened in the Buffalo series six years ago and it's going on again

I agree it drives me nuts but it happens everywhere 16,000 plus at a game and maybe 3 bottles get thrown on the ice its not like many people are doing it and like it was stated earlier one came from a pens fans that was thrown at nabby

Well that's not a fair statement. I'd counter with:
"The Flyers are an 11th place team and, with a great goalie, some top-notch defenseman, and a better checking like, could be a Cup Contender."
If if's and but's were...how's that go?

The Isles are maybe a deserving 5 spot in the East, not a top 3 in the league, even with an upgrade in net. In a few years though, they could be.

I Agree with you. They need to stop selling beer after well basically they need to stop selling beer. To many drunks

Why would a Pens fan even do that? He is the only reason why they are still in this series

Exactly. You have guys who can barely walk on their own and its only the 1st intermission

Dude, I'm not saying he did. And I'm not absolving either him or Cooke. My only point was that, if Martin doesn't intentionally try to block Cooke's path to the bench, it doesn't happen. That's all. All 3 were at fault in my view. If you disagree, whatever, that's what this board is for.
- jmatchett383

fair enough...well agree to disagree...

but pushing and shoving happens all the time at that area..holding a player back after getting pushed onto the other teams bench seems like obvious interference.

It is going to be a tough loss. He logs the most ice time of all of our defensemen and has been attached to Hamonic since birth. Somebody will have to step up and take those minutes and I hope it is not Streit. I think Martinek should get the nod to step in, i think he will play well. But knowing Capuano it will probably be Boulton

i cant imagine theyd throw martinek on the time pairing line...no way his body can handle that right now...

id like to see something along the lines of..

hamonic/vis
streit/carkner
strait/hickey or martinek

I think CArkner has played really well in this series. I am utterly impressed with him

anyone see iPB someone tried to pants Malkin

I could go for that. I think hamonic/vis would be great as two puck moving defensemen on the same pairing.

It wouldn't shock me if Cappy sends Strait up to the top pairing while Vis and Martinek get time together..Then Streit and Carkner.

They should stop giving out bottles and pour all the beer into plastic cups. They would never reach the ice. I absolutely hate when I see stuff end up on the ice.

he's not great..if hickey and radek play to fill in for amack and carkner..i'm good with that...everybody is hitting we are fine

Fans go crazy after the islanders beat the penguins in game 4 of Stanley Cup playoffs .

Don't think the person who shot this is any kind of film student.
