best thing is there won't be a team in the playoffs more confident they can win on the road then us.

Yeah they could, Jets wouldn't be able to catch you guys.
- Oilers4Life14

No, they couldn't. Even had the Isles won in regulation, the Jets would have set at 48 points (with 3 games to play) to the Isles 53; that gave the Jets a shot at getting to 54 by season's end.

The big thing about today's game: you got 2 points and you locked down the 2nd tiebreak (head-to-head). Not a fantastic game, but at this point you worry more about results - and now the magic number to clinch is 3 (unless you can get even on the 1st tiebreak, where the Isles currently trail with 20 ROW's to Winnipeg's 21).

Yep. We are just rolling and if we keep this going into the playoffs anything is possible. This is coming from me so that might tell you how positive this

The Islanders are in the playoffs. It's just a matter of what seed. It would take a monumental collapse plus an unbelievable surge by quite a few teams to knock them out. Leafs, Sens, Isles, Rangers, Jets are all competing for 4 spots.

How can you not be positive? The Islanders are playing with so much confident they are going to be a tough out in the playoffs...

Doesn't matter who the Isles play 1st round, will be a good series.

Why did the Isles decide to play prevent defense with about 5 or 6 to go? They haven't done that at all in the past month or so, they definitely looked unsure of themselves for the 1st time in a while on D.

As Isles fans, we want an Ottawa win tonight? IMO, they have a tougher remaining schedule then the leafs.

OTT has vs PIT / @ WAS / vs PHI /@ BOS

TOR has @ TB / @ FLA / vs. MON

Never want to choose your opponent.. just get in the dance. they play who they play... Most would say Pittsburgh with so many injuries a few weeks ago were going to struggle. they can't stop winning.... all teams above are pretty damm good. Just get in the friggin dance!!!

Defense has been shaky the last two. Still found a way to win. I had to leave after the Grabner goal and felt good about the Isles winning. I love how the Isles are playing and all the winning it's still been stressful with a lot of the other teams winning. As Isles fans we are not use to these big games. Bring on the playoffs so we can forget all about the other scores.

He drives me nuts .... He may get a good deal but I really hope it is somewhere else. I would love to see Brock, Nino, or a UFA/Trade on that wing next season.
