Vegas has no chance at all vs Montreal. I am close to picking a sweep. If the Islanders beat Tampa which is very tough the Islanders will have home Ice in the cup finals.

You really, truly, are out of your (frank)ing mind.

I remember when the made it to the cup in 97.

Oh I know but just wanted to remind buddy about the time they got swept by Detroit.

I love these clowns that in one post say nobody is going to watch and then in the next post they tell you who they'll be rooting for dude is facking shot

One of our playoff games this playoffs I can’t remember which one was the most watched I believe so far. Could’ve been at that time I’m not sure but I know I read it.

Correct one of the games vs the Bruins.

If the Isles could steal one of the first two games down in Tampa the Coli will be shaking before the drop of the puck for game 3

Just like the last two games we need a split. Tampa is obviously a ridiculous team but I think we’re going to see a much different series then last year. That first game traveling between time zones just after playing a game 7 and playing game one 12 hours later was a joke. Losing cizikas, Pelech injured. I like our chances.

Lightning also had an injured Kuch and Point plus no Stamkos.

Yup and Pelech was playing the whole series with a broken wrist

They have to stay out of the box as much as possible

Yep that is true.

He’s a spider though he has a bunch of tentacles or whatever.

Yep that is true.
- Cptmjl

Gonna be a good series either way that goes at least 6 games imo.

Hope so

Also took Leon Stickle blowing an offsides call(offsides by over a foot no less) for the Isles to beat the Flyers in 1980, but I'm sure Isles fans have long forgotten about that little white lie.
- Phillywhiteout

Lol. You're whining about a missed call from over 40 years ago. 90% of Flyers fans don't even watch hockey from October through March. Being from the area, it's always comical to hear that play come up as though the Flyers were a lock to score the next goal and then win game seven. Pete Peters was a catastrophe waiting to happen. There was no way Philly was winning that series.

I just wanted to stop by and mention how much I hate all of you.

Ah, thank you. Forgot that it was Toews.

I still doubt that was the reason he was traded. More likely because he was not very good in last year's playoffs.
- JohnScammo

I am sure a lot of stuff factored into it.. cap money, didn't get enough for Leddy in a trade, too many bodies..etc. But the only time I ever heard Trotz throw his guy under the bus was that little move when the Isles were up 4-0 on his old team.. and they lost the game after it.. feel like when push came to shove Trotz said..you know what trade him.

Is that a Pierre line?
- Isles

Yeah said it like a dozen times in the pens series.

Probably an easier cap to dump without taking any back.
- Feds91Stammer

He was an RFA that really was upset when he was traded. guessing if they wanted to get it done they could have figured it out.

Would have needed to get rid of top line winger to free up the cap to sign him.

It took Pierre 12 games vs. Pens and Bruins to figure out that Pelech is a good player.. lol. It was almost nauseating listening to him finally talking about one of our guys not named Barzal.

or put Ladd on LTIR. He only took 4 mill

- niteislander

It was kind of tough to justify putting a guy on LTIR when he played a game in the playoffs the prior season. Can't really do that if there's no injury.

"Ass Sucking Syndrome" probably doesn't qualify as an injury, although Ladd does suffer from a fairly acute case of ASS
