Nice to see some sandpaper and grit. I feel like they survived that period. They need to do better. Fire them up Trotz!

No doubt Jimmy. Not that physical either until the end there. We need to set tone next period.

This has been an entertaining series so far and I wonder if Tavares is out on the golf course having second thoughts about leaving. Isles have proven they can make deep playoff runs without him.

Non existent offense that period. So glad we have Leddy and Toews to help the offense.

They need to come out and start moving pucks to the net. Tampa wants it we have to match that intensity.

He's gone...it's been a while now. His mom made his bed, and now he's sleeping in it.
But, to think of him in these type of series, he'd be a no-show

100%. Not our problem anymore.

Felt like the Isles had the puck for 5 seconds that period. Defense has to help the offense. They need more plays like the Pelech goal. Toews needs to start making plays.

Tampa’s speed is sick and they love to rim it around d to d

Did the Islanders get a penalty at the end of the period?? Matt Martin for shooting the puck just after the horn blew???

Seems to me that that almost never gets penalized.

Yup smh

Are you (frank)ing kidding me? This is the ECF you don’t call that half arsed crap.

That’s BS he was shooting and the horn went off a second before he shot.

(frank) you refs !

We’ve seen more than a few garbage calls like in OT.

You rarely see that called in the regular season, let alone the playoffs. Total BS call.

Toews whiffs on an easy breakout

That was a BS call. Two handed slashes are okay, but don't shoot the puck at the whistle.
