I'm a king I know

Buf over phl, NYR over Det and Car over Wash all in regulation.
Three for three tonight. Fate keeps trying to help the Islanders but can they help themselves?

Unfortunately I think they're going to drop tomorrow and both Ranger games. This whole finish is going to be razor thin

They should have won in Nashville I think they are feeling it and we have actual good lines again

It's going to be tough no question.

Patrick better keep Barzal and Bo and Nelson and Palms together. Forget the crazy lines at this point. Sorokin has got to bring his A game as well.

Varly has been really good. Sorokin has been shaky

I agree. Varly will be needed down the stretch.

Nashville is 17-3-2 over their last 22 games. I'll be pretty surprised if we find a way to beat them.

Yeah, I am often the first to defend Sorokin and I think he's looked more steady the last couple of games but I would ride Varly a bit more right now

My plan of Barry taking over GM for Lou back in the day is not looking good.


I wanted Lou and Barry to finish their 5-year contracts and then Barry takes over as GM.

Big sorokin fan myself but he's been inconsistent at best. Isles are beating preds if only so they can meet their true destiny of the rangers in round one. Maybe they get 3rd and the canes also no beuno

I never want to see another Canes/Islanders series again. Same for Islanders/Tampa.
