It’s Ketel or bust for me and started drinking whiskey the the last five years or so. Big fan of Michters.

Haven't tried that, but my bottle of Basil is just about empty and I'm due for a new one

Hopefully it's you guys who need the whiskey this time. My liver needs a break.

My gut feeling about this series so far : If the Bolts lose game two, then I think the Isles take it in five. If the Bolts win game two, then I think it goes to seven games and it's a toss up for who wins.

I hope I'm happy drinking, not sad drinking

The Coli will be a tough place to play for Tampa, but I'm not closing the book on anything (either way) until someone wins their fourth game. I think the Isles can do it, but this is obviously their biggest mountain to climb of the playoffs to date. Nobody has had the kind of skill, depth, defense, and goaltending that they've seen yet...not even close.

I expect the Bolts to come flying right out of the gate tonight.

I’d be absolutely shocked if the Lightning aren’t shot out of a cannon to begin the game. We just have to try to play OUR game.

Today @ 4:58 AM ET
Saw a stat that the Lightning are 7-4 in series where they drop game 1 at home which is pretty incredible imo. It would be awesome if they can get another win today. Lightning are going to come out of a cannon tonight. Have to weather the storm in the first and counter punch when they eventually let up.

Good writer and nice guy, but seems very busy and is juggling several things at once. He also does the Ottawa blog. I wish he wrote more because I enjoy his blogs.

I'm not knocking Vegas or Montreal, but I see the Isles as the Bolts' biggest remaining threat in the playoffs. If the Lightning can get past the Isles, then I'd start dreaming of a repeat.

Gotcha. Blogging on here shouldn’t be at the top of anyone’s priority list.

Since the start of the 2020 playoffs the Lightning are 10-0 following a loss.

You know Tampa will come out with a surge tonight. Islanders need to weather the storm, play their game and frustrate the Bolts causing them to become impatient and jump on their TO’s. Discipline play, avoiding penalties is key as well.

Let’s Go Islanders!
