Same garbage every year. They haven’t called cross checks the entire playoffs. When Coyle cross checked mayfield four times in the head while he was on the ice right in front of the ref and didn’t get a penalty it became clear to the entire nhl that they weren’t going to call a cross check. Ever.

Usually they call the extremely blatant poop. Ever since that (frank) got caught on a hot mic in the Detroit/Nashville game it’s like the refs have been trying to prove how awful they can be.

it is pretty funny they publicly fired him in the regular season to set an example and then put up with the garbage we have seen this postseason.

If Kuch is out I think NYI takes the game easily.

I wish I shared your confidence it’ll be a tough game either way. Tampa is a stacked team.

Yea moronic throwing poop

Just wonder how fans would feel if Clutterbuck didn't knock that can out of the air and it ended up hitting Barzal's face or his skate causing him to miss game 7.

The level of whining over the throwing of things is painfully overblown. Was it dumb and odd? Yes. Was it some sort of massive risk that put the players in serious jeopardy of injury? No, not even close.

There’s a large contingent of new Islander fans that think this behavior is just fine because they do it in soccer sometimes. This a legit debate for some “fans”. Welcome to NY where you’ll find the biggest band wagon fans in all of sports. Everyone is an Islander fan in NY these days.

I was there last night and I did see a guy two rows off the glass take a shot to the back of the head. He was ok but it dazed him for a second. Most of them were off towards center Ice but they are lucky somebody didn't get drilled. Crazy atmosphere last night for sure

Dude, some of those cans were almost full. So yea, a can of beer hurled at you from the upper deck could (frank) up your day.

Unless Brendan does the game tomorrow I am going to listen on the radio. Hopefully they dont hire these morons next year when we transition to ESPN.

I agree with you on this one. The chances of it injuring a player are minimal but I thought it made the fanbase look like a bunch of trash bags along with Long Island. Trotz and Barzal tweeting that it was a celebration was completely stupid imo. Be careful what you say there’s a new part of this fanbase which doesn’t need any encouraging. The fans at these playoff games this time around are a different level of stupid imo.

I don’t know I’m not one to stand on hallowed, moral, high ground ever. I usually laugh when people scoff at our fanbase for stupid mundane BS. This is not that imo. I don’t embarrass easily to me that was embarrassing not sure how it’s even debatable?

Stamkos is invisible in game 7s and the pp is nowhere near as lethal without kuch. Tampa has 3 RD that are easy to expose. They basically need Vasy to stand on his head.

If only they wore some sort of hard, padded plastic objects to protect their heads...

It was trashy, it was dumb, and it wasn't something I'd like to see again...but the notion that anyone was going to not be able to play if they got hit with a beer can that was 25% full is grossly overblown.

In all honesty Kucherov could’ve been cut in half by mayfields cross check and I couldn’t give a (frank)

lol.. how many more wins before these whiney trolls leave the Isles message board.

Tampa 12-0 in the playoffs after a loss the last two years. They’re due for a loss

He’s fine whatever most of these opposing fans lately on here are cool just busting chops.

I hear you. It's not just that. I pop in this morning to see how pumped everyone is about taking this to game 7 and it's two full pages of thread tourists telling us why we should be dressed in all black and mourning today

To your point, my dad took me to an Isles-Rangers game at the Coliseum on St. Patrick's Day when I was like 10. Any chance there was of me going all in on defending the class of NY hockey fans died that day among the 8,000 fist fights over kids and thrown objects I witnessed I'd still love to go to one more game in that madhouse.

I was at game and went from ecstatic to angry.. WTF are u idiots doing? They were throwing full $17 beers at their own guys.. continued to do it for the 3 stars of the game. It's always Younger kids that are just morons... but it was truly absurd. Isles and coaches handled it well but it was really friggin dumb.

Haha I don’t even mind NYI. I’m just pulling for Tampa because of all the cap butthurt they caused.
