Is it weird for me to think the Isles score one and send it to OT?
- JimmyP

Crazy they are still in a game but they are thanks to Varly.

He has that puck for FIVE seconds on the half board and Leo is never even in the zone. Ebs and him are attacking on a pk at that point because Leo is locking the neutral zone down.

I just hope Leo scores the OT winner when everyone forgets he’s 40 seconds behind the play.

Let's see what happens in the 3rd when facing elimination.

Tampa is 12 and 0 after a loss they just come out pissed
- Upstate_isles

Tampa is an elite team but Isles need more pressure than this and Barry needs to pull out all the stops. You cannot wait when it’s game 7.

Well, this is it.
You never know in this sport. Many of these guys may never get this close to the cup finals again. As Red said, 'Get busy living or get busy dying'

Some of us may never get this close to the cup finals again rooting for this team.

Me too...and I found this comment rather sobering

A ray of hope!

McDonough trying to take out Palat so he won't be a cap-casualty this summer!

You would think this team was up 10-0 the way they’re playing. Absolutely no urgency in their game. Unbelievable

Change the lines Barry!

You need incredible stones or incredible stubbornness to keep Leo on that line.

GETTING A HEAD START ON BACK-CHECKING?

The sense of urgency is just not there bar a few guys. Leddy is awful. Seattle, please pick him. He’s fast!

He has been shuffling a bit.

Well he’s the best option on the first line obviously. If we lose this game by one goal on a horrible short handed goal I’ll lose my (frank)ing mind.

Isles have only given up 1 short handed goal all year and it's tonight

They’re playing great and we’re not pushing back.

anticipating the turnover. A paradox of thought from Leo recognizing if he isn't in the O-zone, he should stay in the d-zone
