Pitlick trying, Nate trying, Provorov has constantly tried - he is just ridiculously over-hyped, not his fault..
Lindblom gets a pass Lets see what we have there.
JVR is JVR Not playing any worse than usual. Just need to set your expectation accordingly.
Couturier gets a small pass this game because of injury.
Myers has been ok, and has the right attitude, I think.

There is just a huge deficit of talent on this club. That's really the crux of the matter.

Provorov is not over-hyped. He's a real good player. Make no mistake about it. This game is not about talent, it's about leadership.
Where is the urgency and the determination?

I got that. But as rookies in their first playoff I think they’re learning what it takes. Very bad turnovers but I think they’ll grow. I’m not throwing these guys under the bus.

Sanheim has been so bad, no excuses

Sanheim and Myers have been horrible this series.

Horrible or inconsistent. These aren’t 10 year vets seasoned in playoff hockey. They’re learning and it’s not a linear progression. Make playoff dominate win cup. It takes a while and they’ve struggled but are developing.

Giroux will win a Cup his first year anywhere else. You can book it.

If you're tired of watching crappy hockey, you can learn to make your own homemade gnocchi right here. Much more interesting and satisfying

Trade bait? Cut ties maybe waivers? Haha.

I’m frustrated too but imo the rookies get a pass as this is part of their development.

Barring a miracle, I’m on the Golden Knights bandwagon to win the Cup. Speed, scoring, toughness, goaltending.

I don't think anyone told the Captain that this is a game 7.

How is Provy over hyped. If anything he’s trying to do to much. He can absolutely clean his game up with the turnovers bitbhe shows up every night.
He plays a ton of minutes. He’s still a young guy.

I made the statement that if the Isles get good goaltending tonight, they would win. I was wrong. They really don't even need a goaltender tonight.

I wonder if the Islanders have a blue and orange tuxedo in the locker room.
Greiss can put it on.

the flyers are so pathetic they had to put a guy that just recovered from cancer into the line up to try and spark them

I’ll give them benefit of the doubt with their youth. And I consider these mistakes they’ve made in this series not a norm. They were fantastic against Montreal. I give credit to the Isles forecheck, too. They def are still developing and we have two good ones in Sanheim and Myers. But fact is some of their mistakes / turnovers / failed clears have directly led to isles goals. It sucks

As a third liner maybe. Problem is he's one of this team's top forwards, and obviously that's not good enough at this point in his career.

Ivan Provorov is the second most important player on the team behind Carter Hart. You’re an idiot if you don’t see this (not you).

Look at it this way. It should be a shorter than normal off season.

I absolutely agree. Any team would overpay to get him. He’s untouchable imo.

Meh some of you guys are acting like Giroux didn’t have a resurgence since going to wing. He had a good regular season and was on a tear before season paused. Does he need to be better in These playoffs ? Yes, but I don’t think giroux is “done” or needs to retire as some have said
