Stop being emotional.

Yeah I don't trust the guy sticking around his team to honor the contract he signed in good faith. Seems like a real scumbag.

I just bought the AHL TV playoff package for $25. It's compatible with my Firestick and it's actually pretty solid quality. Gonna watch Big Daddy Wally do some sniping tonight and Ho Sang still not play defense

edit: I couldn't figure out why I got a "puck warning" message and I've now realized that it's just the video feed from the big screen there

Prognostications from Pundits = Best guess based off of what's on paper mixed with a bit of pedigree and point totals. Basically its a crap-shoot.

Im sure most will see the Islanders as big underdogs against the Caps or the Canes. Why? Because the Islanders "lack talent." Truth is — the Islanders have a lot of talent, but it has largely gone unproven because the team has never had a reasonable playoff run except for 2016. Things may now change. Barzal, Bailey, Eberle, Nelson, Pelech, Pulock, Beuviller and Lehner — all with no or minimal playoff experience just had very strong playoff games in round #1. So perception could begin to change.

On a related note — the Islander won the series because lets face it — Defense and Goaltending wins in the playoffs. The Islanders have had both in spades all season long. The Pens are a gifted team (I can admit that even while I despise them.) But I think a few factors contributed to the sweep.

1) Taking Isles for granted: I think 30 other NHL teams duplicated that behavior in 82 games.

2) The Heavy Game: IT was clear from the drop of the puck in game #1 — the Penguin players do not match well against physical play combined with skating. They got so flustered and frustrated in the first 2 games that they could not get out of their own way.

3) Age: The Islanders have the younger faster legs. A more mobile team that could transition extremely well and take advantage of opportunities.

4) Structure and Forecheck: The Isles did what they have done all year — smother their opponent with an aggressive in your face forecheck and team structure 5 man commitment to defense.

5) Big Saves when needed and Puck luck: Two things that are REQUIRED in the playoffs and it broke the Islanders way all series. Part of it is that you make a little of your own luck. Part of it is the hockey gods giving a long suffering franchise a break.

I have been reading some Penguin fans comments and while they are giving some credit to the Islanders, the prevailing thought is more is needed from their players. I agree to a point. But the Islanders team play simply did not allow the Penguins to play their game. The only time the Islanders got off of their game was through the 2nd period of game 1. After that — it was the team structure of the NYI that cared the day over the Pens poor play.

Yes I preordered it for next year

Travis St. Denis just sent Aaron Ness flying into the boards head first and it seriously looked like he has a neck injury. They're bringing out the stretcher and backboard, jesus. He hasn't moved at all in a few minutes.

Sucks, Travis isn’t a dirty hockey player. Watched him at QU with Toews when my son was there.

Pasternak doesn’t impress me at all. Soft and makes stupid plays.

Now he will score the winning goal

Took him down but the net spun him that's not good at all

Shocked that wasn’t goalie interference.

All year long I have a problem with what is and what isn’t goalie interference

The level of whining about officiating on the leafs thread is incredible and they just got that call. Everyone of them will be whining again in two mins (frank)ing hysterical 😂

Wow. That’s going to decide this game.

Crazy, I just don’t know what is and what isn’t goalie interference.

Although just knowing the decision comes from Toronto makes me feel confident it was a correct call.

He was outside the paint it wasnt a ton of contact and rask got over but usually they call that. I agree you never know what they will call but in that case I think you need to let the players decide it was a hockey play to me

Think they’ll say it’s the refs fault they won or does that only apply when they lose?

Ok but honestly there is no clear definition on how they call it from the many decisions I have witnessed by the NHL.
An absolute inconsistency as far as I’m concerned. They should just make it a free for all onthe goalie. It would make more sense.
