It's a long shot(+2000) but I put a few bucks on the Islanders winning the division.

Never know. Oshie out tonight for personal reasons and Ovechkin/Carlson still aren't locks to return yet either.

They have 4 winnable games and possibly the last game could mean nothing for the Bruins. I don't see the Pens losing 2 but it adds a little more excitement to the end of the season.

Why not, like you said makes the end of the season very interesting for you.

For what it’s worth, Michael Houser is the first goalie off the ice at the Sabres’ morning skate.

Michael Houser is 28 years old and has been primarily an ECHL goalie for the last 6 years. He could start tonight against the #Isles.

And this is exactly why I'm happy to play a quality team right before the playoffs start. I'd prefer two games against one, honestly...but at least there's one


I'd rather get as many point as possible and get the second spot as the isles are lights out at home and that will play a huge factor. This team has playoff experience and will be ready going in no matter who they play

I know they don't have a great record against the top teams in the division, but yeah, they do have the playoff experience, and against some of those very teams.

And also, showing up for big games matters at least as much as their record against this team or that team, and I think the last two games said a lot. Biggest games of the season for both the Isles and Rangers...conversations would be a hell of a lot different if they dropped those games and were sitting only one point ahead of the Rangers. But they went out and posted back-to-back dominant shutouts and just didn't look like there was any panic in their game at all.

POs as we all know are a new season. Isles need to finish strong playing their brand of in your face hockey and then go into the new season on a roll.
