No but he can go to a local Brooklyn hipster-run gastropub and get served some fresh, sustainably-sourced pork belly after I carve up Hamilton the Pig at center ice

I really wanted to make a push for Hamilton last season and then I watched the canes/capitals series.

Barry is a genius just for what he has done with Pelech and Mayfield. Still incredible how good the Isles D has been and Dobson and Wilde are not on the team yet.

As much as everybody wants to poop on him he DID finish the series with 6 points and a +3.

My father and grandfather were also crude, demented internet posters when they were younger. It runs in my blood.

Those gaffes with him avoiding contact multiple times were face palm funny none the less. He got turned around quite a few times.

I remember, cpt, but wasn't going to remind you. Geezus, did he look awful! I expect the Isles' forwards to pound him every chance they get, so much that he WISHES he had only had Ovie to worry about.

Part of that is just how they're supposed to play. Canes D is supposed to gap up on guys at the blue line.

Problem was that the Caps have forwards talented enough to make them miss.

Did anybody notice that out of 15 writers on NHL.com 14 of them chose the Islanders to win this series. I know that means nothing but have to agree with them, I really think the Islanders will win in five.

Crazy thing is as much as Washington physically crushed the Canes, every time it looked like that was going to make a longer-term difference the Canes bounced back. I don't know if it was more Washington taking its foot off the gas whenever it looked like the Canes were going to fade, or the Canes finding ways to battle back without feeling the need to out-physical the Caps...or maybe a combination of both...but that's what I think is scariest about facing them: They don't go away even when it looks like they should.

But I think if the Isles can forecheck them the way they did the Pens, that'll be a lot for the Canes' D to handle. The Caps seemed to do that in random waves...the Isles have to be relentless.

I don’t know they just beat the Stanley Cup champs in a seven game series. They’re playing well and have battled through some adversity. I like our chances but I’m not getting ahead of myself.

I don't really like not being able to fully hate the Canes. I'm going to have to do some real mental gymnastics and find some seriously petty stuff to hate on them for

Canes seem to be resilient and they are a fast transition team that can cause the isles some headaches. They also have a raucous crowd that they feed off of like the isles do at home so that could also be tough to win in carolina, caps were 0 3 there. Isles will be ok if they limit the high danger chances (canes shoot a ton) and clog up the neutral zone and are patient and counter attack with numbers. Lehner has played well but so has mrazek idk if the later can keep it up he was good in the caps series though

Where's that douche bag Avery commenting on that.

I mean Islander Fans booed Tavares, that was terrible.
