Agree he has’nt been as sharp last couple games but there were some bad plays made in front of him as well.

Overall they played well and the lineup I believe will be the same except for maybe Greiss in net.

Who would you go with?

Not addressed to me, but (frank) it.

I wanted Greiss in game 6. I REALLY want him in game 7.

When Griess is off, it gets ugly fast. I feel comfortable letting Trotz figure out which goalie to use.

Totally agree. Typically in this series the better goalie won the game. 3 times it was the Islanders and 3 times it was the Flyers.

On Sorokin, I agree with hoping he plays like he has in the KHL. That said let’s wait until he plays a few AHL or NHL games before we are handing him the starting or savior job in the POs.

I get it but everyone who's seen him and guys that were nhlers that went over all say he's top 5 material so let's pray they are right

Varly was lights out in Game 4. I thought he made some real great stops.
As we both said he wasn’t as sharp and his game dropped the last 2 games for sure. That said there were so turnovers that lead to the Flyers goals last night.
Let’s agree calling for Sorokin is just foolish.
Well on to game 7, I like our chances.

Why aren’t you out bagging some Tuna right now?

- nyisles7

no one's calling for him butthole but the fact is next year he's going to be the guy

I thought the goalie in for game 4 played great also the problem is it wasn’t Varlamov it was Greiss

I dont see any line up changes for the isles as they played a replay good game with a couple of mistakes. Hart covered up the flyers errors and varly didn't and that was the difference

Hopefully. Let's not be like Jets fans and start anointing saviors too early and giving them nicknames (The Sanchise! The Browning Rifle!)

IMO, possibly one change. Take an ice cold Eberle off the top line, or sit him and give someone else a chance to win more puck battles than he loses and score on open nets.

What species of Tuna is this? Are they migratory?
- Wildschwein


Yes very migratory. Typically follow the warm water of the jet stream. Blue Fin, Big Eye are my buddies targets. This year has been stellar for Tuna.

I think Cpt can chime in with more info.

Addressed to anyone reading really.
Trotz may just go that way. Nothing wrong with your thinking.

Has 4 GPG been enough to seal the series? No. Flyers have been breaking down the defense and scoring more than is typically let in by the isles. What's my advice? Score more than 4 on 53 shots. How? More traffic. Crowd the crease. More rebound shots. More greasy goals. MORE OF EVERYTHING, DAMMIT!

Saw uncle Leo doing his Anders impression in front, but no puck came his way.

Great advise, very original.

I'm strangely feeling pretty good about tomorrow. Maybe I just do not want to see it but I cannot see the Isles losing 3 straight. I think they find a way tomorrow.
- ses111


I'm not. I'm not saying the Isles are going to lose, but the Flyers have all the momentum. If the Isles can pull off the win it will be huge for the team.

I'm still disgusted they lost 3 OT games.

Won’t find none of that in Alberta. Best I can do is Walleye caught in temperatures below -40.
