Ty Anderson: Stralman skates as series shifts to Brooklyn

Good to see Stralman getting closer. Wish Stamkos would be close too.

Stralman back for game six would be huge. If it gets that far.

Hard to say this but GO LIGHTNING! Beat these Brooklyn hipsters!

I think this series goes 7 but I predicted 7 in the last round & with us winning.

Bad opening period by Tampa. They should thank their lucky stars it's tied. Gotta clean it up in period two.

Pretty sloppy but they weathered the storm and tied it late. They'll make some adjustments

Love that hit on Drouin.

Love that assist to Kucherov for the game tying goal. I also love that game winning goal by Brian Boyle.

Love the hit & the goal by Boyle! Big boy came to play tonight, when he gets mad & uses that 6'6 frame & has decent hands he is a dangerous player. Good win guys.

Damn Islander fans think that was a penalty. It's hilarious that they came on here demanding we don't whine about non calls or bad calls and then cry like 2 year olds when one of there guys gets touched. Big steaming likes of douche they are. Every. Damn. One.

They like their big hits but not on their players. Hickey was both the pitcher and catcher last night, move on, Capuano crying was funny, what with the hits they dish out- oh wait they're always good clean hits. What an a hole, trying to deflbbect it all on one play instead of the fact they couldn't put the game away after losing 3 leads.

I would love to see what video Capuano watched that many times. Boyle didn't make contact with his head, if he was saying it was late then maybe but to say he will probably be suspended is silly. If you want to call a penalty on Boyle you take them both, Hickey for embeleshment.

The primary hit was shoulder to shoulder that followed through to the head, same as Droiun a hit to the upper chest that followed through to the head, the hockey gods evened up the bounces and players taken out. I imagine Baby Huey and Clusterf*ckface will be running around trying to take someone out on Friday.

Islanders fans should be pissed at Hickey. Complete dive. I can't see any contact to the head whatsoever. If he was hurt on the play it was due to whipping his own head back trying to draw a call.

Drouin got up faster than he did and he got legitimately killed. Hickey babied it and didnt get back in the play and his team lost because of it.

Agree 100%......They got what they deserved. Their Coach is a clown!

Hickey hit was much worse than the Boyle hit. I don't see any head contact in the boyle hit just hickey trying to daw a penalty. Hickey hit on Drouin ended up having a lot of head contact even if it wasn't the primary point of contact. The difference is how the player that got hit acted. Capuano saying it cost them the game and Boyle should be suspended is a joke. Hickey dive and giving up 4 1 goal leads cost you the game and Boyles hit was at most just a bit late. Fans pouring drinks on the celebratory huddle and throwing stuff on the ice is also just awful. Really appalling how the Iles and some of their fans carried themselves last night.

I don't have a problem with either hit. The Hickey hit was a bang-bang play and Drouin himself had no issue with it. The Boyle hit was shoulder to chest and a embarrassing embellishment by Hickey.

I saw them differently, I didn't see any contact to Hickeys head at all, he flung that back so fast to complete his dive and I also saw initial contact to Drouins head not his chest. The talk on why Hickey won't be penalized is because Drouin put himself in a vulnerable position.

There was NO contact to Hickeys head. It was pure and unadulterated embellishment

Let's not go full penguins caps mode and talk about hits all day.

Freaking islander fans are as homer as it gets. Almost ends Drouins season and they cheer. Hickey dives and they want Boyle dead.

I loved waking up to a win. Sorry i missed the game, but I had to be at work at 2:30am.

I give eichiefs9 a big for not homering it up.

Most isles fans had no issue with the Boyle hit after seeing replays. They are more pissed at the poopty coach than anything.
