He took a run at Barzal at the half way point of the period clearly targeting his head and Barzal just got out of the way of it at the last second and I was like oh that’s right

He’s a wiener. Slew footed Mayfield in the past. Owes him.

Let them loose Barry.

well crap. at first i thought they were saying that was an Isles goal.

Oh well we can’t get out of the neutral zone so we’re (frank)ed until that happens and oh yeah they scored again

Islanders would have to get into the Tampa zone for that to happen.

Tampa is rested and traveled a day earlier i expect better game 2

More than 30 minutes to go. We know there is no quit in this team.

Game isn't half over. And it's game 1. Let them feel each other out. They've scored, we haven't. We will, just need a few saves. Wear them down

Nelson's instincts are off the charts tonight.

At least we’re hitting them.

Oh I know would like to see them get going at some point no matter the outcome of this game. Tampa always comes into our zone with numbers and they’re killing us in the neutral zone. Would like to see some physicality from us but we’d have to catch them first.

I can’t count how many four on threes or three on twos Tampa has had at this point. That’s a problem they haven’t figured out how to solve yet.

He’s had many prime ops. Could be 4-3 maybe even tied if converted on half them.

They look like a team that traveled and how did they miss that? They lokk a little better

I thought for sure that went in.

And lol at Schenn. All Nelson did was laugh at him.

So good and with Barzal getting attention he’s getting room

Eh. Showing a little understood frustration. Who the (frank) is Luke Schenn?

Nelson NEVER drops the gloves.
- JohnScammo

Thats not a fair trade. You want both those guys on the ice. Trust me, I watched Luke Schenn be hot garbage for the Flyers for years, you don't want him sitting in the box where he can't do any damage to his own team.
