Blatant holding the stick

Hey now ... I'm not saying Lee would be the tipping point and the Isles would be dominating. The other players need to play. Just saying that the way Lee played this year works well in the playoffs.

Hear you JP. not geared toward you. This time of year ice the bruises, wrap the sprains and go play!

Yup. Florida just stronger. Easily pushing guys off the puck. They have won the trench battle with a unanimous decision.
Isles start off the series well before any themes and tendencies are in place and when the play is more open. It's just brutally clear that they struggle when things tighten up and adjustments are made.

Yep, the Isles aren't built for the playoff.

Clear as day. You work for Wang and you only need to be built for the regular season.

No Phucking excuses everyone has injuries lets Phucking go.

There's no excuse for Lee to be our only legitimate crease presence but the fact is no one else on our team is big enough to stand in that area with Florida's hulking dmen. Not having Lee turns this team into strictly a perimeter offense

Wang likes to play golf with his buddies.

Shannon said this series has been exciting to watch.

Brock Spicoli is too weak to do it.

Lee was invisible the first half of the year. Anybody can have a net front presences you just have to battle to get there. If our offense being able to get net front pressensce is based on one guy then we really shouldn't be in the playoffs.

We are one shot from being ahead in this series 3-2 going home.

Let's go Islanders!

What's the over/under on OT minutes? I think it will be done in the first OT period ... I'll say 14:32.

Is that 14:32 into the OT? Or 14:32 remaining in the first OT?

Ses, they are in this Greiss, Lee injury, Pulock injury blah blah blah, no one feeling sorry. One shot away from bringing this back to Brooklyn 3-2.
The team that plays smart, mistake free hockey wins this game.

Edit: now let's Phucking go !!!!!!!!

I don't give a shat JS as long as the Islanders score.

Need to skate Isles !

The coaching on this team friggin kills me...when in the defensive zone our forwards collapse waaaaaaaay too low.

I'll take the over.
- JohnScammo

OK. I think a longer OT favors the Islanders. The Panthers have been playing with a shortened bench this series.

How has Luongo not fallen asleep yet?
