Need more help all around if they are going to win this series. JT can't do it all by himself. We stole 2 games from the Panthers thanks to Greiss & Tavares. Not likely to happen again vs. Bolts.

Franz/Nelson/Strome are needed to score some goals.....

Yup kiss of death

I actually think the Isles match up better with the Lightning than the Panthers, especially without Stamkos and Stralman.

It's another pick 'em series but I like the Isles' chances.

I always feel like the Islanders can Skate with anyone but the big teams give them fits. I was scared to death of the Panthers... and while I don't think this will be an easy series by any stretch.. I think they match up better with this team.

Especially given these facts.

1) Bailey is not playing
2) Stamkos is not playing
3) Stralman is not playing
4) Strait is not playing
5) did I mention Bailey and Strait are not playing?

Isles in 5. Really like this matchup with stamkos and stralman out.

Who will be tasked with shutting down the Kucherov line?

Roll four solid lines and should be a good series.

I am very happy with these 4 lines.

MDW pretending to be upset.

If the isles can continue their solid play, and get their secondary scoring going. They could take this series. And the sooner we get Pulock back in the lineup that'll be a big plus. Can't wait for tonight! Let's Go Islanders!!!

hamonic/leddy should be out against them when we're at home, we'll see in game 3.

pulock made the PP. when he's out there with leddy he's either the best option for a one timer or he's pulling a pker to him to mark him which opens up the slot. can't wait to have him back. zidlicky was much better than expected though.

It's gotta be bittersweet for you to see the Isles having some success but with Nielsen and Okposo playing significant parts in it.

if playoff okposo ever showed up in the regular season he'd be worth the 7 mil per he's going to be asking for.

When KO & Franz leave, I'll feel a little better but for now, I want them to show that their worth for another team......

Apparently DiPietro called Francesa "fatso" on the air because Mike was whining about Capuano not going on his show or something. I don't know the whole story but that's (frank)ing awesome.

Cannot blame Cappy for that. Mike could care less for hockey. He should just stick to talking those loser Knicks.

Even if Cappy gets an extension, these new owners will probably not have an issue making a move if they have to unlike Wang.
