Ty Anderson: Bolts should treat Game 5 as must-win

This is actually the third time that the Isles have faced elimination, not the first. They came back from a 2-3 series deficit to the Cats.

No.

The Islanders and the Panthers only played six games! How on earth could the Panthers have been up 3 to 2 on them?

Let's close the door Finish it Bolts 5-1

Um, I did not make the original post. Which has since been deleted.

I responded "No", as in the post was incorrect.

But thanks for reading. Must be a Buffalo thing.

Wow, that move by Boyle. Big man with soft hands.

Nice first period, finally. Now they need to keep the foot on the gas and keep putting the pressure on the Islanders. They do such a good job of hemming New York in their end and winning the battles. Great D activations as well.

Put the nail in the coffin btw.

Thank you. You have a solid base to build on. Will do our best.

Well played guys. Totally smothered us this game. Good luck next round!

Thanks again for them.

Thanks, I think we match up better against the Penguins than the Caps, so hopefully they win. Getting Stralman back will be huge for that series, regardless of who we end up playing.

Bishop keeping them shutouts coming in important playoff games once again. Sure this was a full team effort, but he came up big when he needed to and did nice work in the trap.

It was a closer matchup than 4-1, but Tampa was the superior team. Now another long rest before next series, and with a big chance that Stralman is back in the teams next starting lineup.

Who could have thought that a couple of weeks before playoffs when Hedman, Callahan, Stralman, Stamkos all had some kind of injurys. Great to be a Bolts fan.

And Callahan.

Yep, him too!

Regular season doesn't mean a lot but the Bolts were 3-0 versus the Pens and 0-3 versus the Caps. So who would you rather have the bolts play next series?
