The Isles PP clicked at 40% in this series and won in 6 games and were the better team at 5v5 in 2 of them (including tonight)

I'm just (frank)ing with you. I didn't even see that you had posted right before me.

Bye bye Boston

Always nice to see them get bounced. I also loved it the other night when they lost at home. Nothing better then Bruins fans going home pissed...spending all that money, expecting a W, and going home angry with a lot less money in their wallets. Loved that.

I disagree.

Panthers and Carolina would have cleaned up both the East and North.

Can’t fight fate.

They bend and don’t break.

If they stay out of the box I wonder if they can find a way to get by Tampa

Interesting comments on Owen Power from Troy Stetcher. I cut and paste from The Athletic.


Question - "Your defence partner for much of the tournament was Owen Power. What were your impressions of the young man likely to hear his name called first at the draft this year?"

Answer - "He is going to be one of the top defencemen in this league for his entire career. It’s insane how good he is.

The way he conducts himself at 18 years old, how mature he is. And just being around him and looking at him and you’re just like, man, you need to put on another 20, 30 pounds. He’s still kind of skinny! It’s scary to think about how good he’s going to be.

Awesome kid, great D partner. He’d ask me stuff on the bench and I’d tell him, “Man, you’re already better than me! Just go do your thing, I’ll be your eyes, I’ll call for an over and up, but don’t second guess yourself or think I’m going to get mad at you because I’ve been in the league longer than you have. We’re here to win, so if you see something and you’re comfortable doing something, do it.”

He’s got some swagger to him, too. Every hockey player has it in their own right and every superstar has to have it. He’s no different, but in no way is it cockiness. Just confident in who he is and super mature for his age."

Perhaps you need a bigger screen?

Islanders were considered the weakest link in the East, according to many here. And onward they march.

Hope they win the Cup

Based on however you want to look at it.

Carolina, Florida, and one of Colorado or Vegas are going to be sitting on the couch watching the final 4 despite all 3 of them being better teams than Montreal and the Isles.

Imo of course.

its a shame that montreal gets to be in the final 4

final 4 of tbl/nyi/vgk/col would have been one of the best ever

The final 4 was TBL/CAR and COL/VGK

Isles and Habs though got nothing to lose. We’ll see how long the fate train can keep moving

Disagree. Isle don't get any respect. Canes full of talented fluff, Cats arw very close, but not quite there. Isles got it going on.

The Isles lost to TB in the ECF last year. Took it to six games.

Just wanted to point that out.

The Isles have Varlamov/Sorokin that vastly outplayed Jarry and Rask and stole the Isles two series.

However arguing about how good the Isles actually are is not a hill I want to die on.

I respectfully agree to disagree 🤝

How many games will it take Tampa to dispose of the Isles?

How many games will it take Tampa to dispose of the Isles?
- Michael Pachla

5 or 6

1 more game then vegas or colorado will need to dispose of the habs

Anybody watching WGZ ? my cousin just texted me and said it was reported that Eichel and Reinhart are going to be traded

The Bruins had 2 PP goals, the Isles had none. How did that work out for them?
- Wetbandit1

Oh...oh my

5 or 6

1 more game then vegas or colorado will need to dispose of the habs

They should take them down in 5 based upon talent alone. I doubt that happens

Even if they beat TB, the excuses will come out. Isles equal the sum of their parts giving it thwi all while pulling in the same direction yet nobody has any respect for them
For whatever reason
