Ben Shelley: Playoff Preview: Islanders vs. Lightning

I hope they crash and burn Maybe then others won't copy the neanderthal ways of the Devs/Isles Lou and Jabba the Trotz should be ashamed to teach that kind of hockey to players. Thank God neither one of those idiots got a hold of 99 He would have been a 4th line hack

Really appreciate your insight. Always spot on. Can’t imagine how I’d cope with life without your spot on analysis of what’s wrong with the islanders. Pulitzer worthy. .

This comment actually makes more sense than most people want to admit!! It's kind of funny how the Isles are just an average team during the regular season when they call the clutching and grabbing antics, but in the playoffs when they don't call anything they excel. Prove me wrong. We all know that Lou tried to ruin the sport of hockey with those boring Devils teams back in the 1990's and now he is back at it again.

1995 NJ Devils. (frank)ing ba$tards! Detroit had to adapt to Hudson Bay Rules hockey come playoffs. Lou Lam is one of the best GM's of all time. 👍

Yeah, those DEvils were real charmers. Welcome to the dead puck era with that chowder head Scott Stevens cheap shotting the the other team's stars!! Woo hoo......what a way to grow the game!! The Devils were so popular that they celebrated their cups with 35,000 losers in the parking lot!! Bunch of swamp rats!! Thank God we evolved from that load of shyte!!!!!

It's quite easy to prove you wrong. The Islanders were the 3rd least penalized team during the regular season so "clutching and grabbing" were replaced with talent and speed. The same thing is happening in the playoffs and that trend has been consistent since Trotz took over. You can check it out yourself.

If you guys keep taking the bait with these chromosome deficient morons they will never leave. They hate us because they ain’t us ignore the pitiful losers.

An angry Flyers fan who is in his mid to late forties and acts like a six year old and an obvious, embarrassingly so mental deficient Pens fan. One guy is ranting about an offsides non call from forty years ago and the other one believes democrats are the reason why the Islanders have made it this far and thinks Jabba the Trotz is a clever insult of our coach. Does anyone truly believe either of these two clowns are worth engaging with?

I’m a right leaning Libertarian but he’s an idiot. There’s no correlation between Republicans and a lack of intelligence. That’s a media driven talking point to make a particular voting base feel better about themselves that far too many easily manipulated people believe. He is not a representation of Republicans as a whole nor a representation of your fan base. He’s just an idiot.

Come on man. Get it straight at least. I'm a bored Flyers fan. Perhaps frustrated if you wish, but well over the anger part since the Flyers season ended so long ago. I probably would have rooted for the Isles in this series cause I'm not a fan of non traditional hockey markets winning back to back titles, but the one jerkoff on here that made light of Pelle's crash has turned me into a Bolts fans. Best of luck though and your boys better stay out of the box cause that Bolts PP looks deadly!

I love watching the Isles.. Hell I love watching Trotz coached teams...

But I've had to endure the Carlyle and Eakins Titanic sized disasters for the past yrs...

Isles skate and check hard... they counterpunch beautifully. Clear the net and make sharp passes. There is plenty of speed and skill in their game...

What's not to like...

Tampa may be a bridge to far.... but clutch and grab hockey... Please if that is your take.. you simply didn't see 90's hockey.
