The moment we do, Tampa will be on the pp. If we gonna put our tin foil hats on, you get the feeling some want this series over.

If someone can text him, this would be a great time for Ebs to wakey wakey

I almost fell out of my seat during the first OT when Ebs attempted an open ice hit. He didn't come out of it very well, but he actually disrupted the puck carrier.

Truth be told we should be doing the same thing, pushing the boundaries of penalties but it’s a learned thing that we aren’t used to yet IMO. Refs typically put away the whistle unless it’s blatant in playoff OT. Guys aren’t used to it.

Tampa wasn’t always like this they learned what it takes to get here and move on. We’re spending too much time just hanging on at this point.

Anyone have an explanation on why that wasn’t a classic interference call with Clutterbuck?

I thought Upstate posted that Clutter was trying to push Sergachev offsides?

What the (frank) is Kutcherov crying about? They got away with at least 4 (frank)ing penalties in the last 5 minutes alone. The hit on Clutter should have been a major.

Plus what he’s crying about was totally legal

Cause he skated directly into him

Bottom line if Kucherov has that breakaway be buries. Barzal needs to be the guy. Can’t not bury that after killing off that ridiculous 4 min

We need a matt or brady Tkachuk type player

Martin and Clutterbuck don’t stir the crap like they used too. Pretty important in the playoffs.

That’s kinda my point. Need to take liberties when available.

I’d have to see it again but it looked like Tampa player hit him without the puck

Barzal didn’t get it done he’s learning what it takes like a lot of the team right now.

They can't lay over and you know it.

Clutterbuck tried to push him offside it wasn't a penalty or and elbow
- Upstate_isles

Shoulder elbow to the head. He isn’t in the quiet room because he feel on the blue line. Honestly Cal interfered with the bolt trying to push him offside but that was a shot to the head.

They’re to busy defending to even think about it.

Why has Leo been wearing a cage all playoffs. What’s the injury?

Not sure but it’s been a pleasure not having a clear view of his face.

Tampa’s D is phucking incredible. What’s more crazy is they’re without Pointe and Stamkos

They’re an incredible team top to bottom. They have players like Bogosian and Schenn that completely bought in.

I'd like to see a replay posted. Admittingly, I'm way tired, but the replay appeared to show Clutter skating "NE to SW" and Verhaeghe cut him off with a high shoulder. I wouldn't dismiss that Clutter might try something sneaky like that, but that replay looked like more of a blind hit

#Isles shots by period: 5, 6, 5, 4.

How about the NHL analysts talking about the Cooper/Bowness match up in the first period. Let the game play first. Geez

Only need one of them to go in

I'd like to see a replay posted. Admittingly, I'm way tired, but the replay appeared to show Clutter skating "NE to SE" and Verhaeghe cut him off with a high shoulder. I wouldn't dismiss that Clutter might try something sneaku like that, but that replay looked like more of a blind hit
