Varlamov again. He just doesn't come up with the stop when they need it.

Meh. He was good, but the Isles played better D last game. I'm not saying it's all on Varlamov. But I'd like to see him bail out his team a little more often.

You guys are crazy. A breakaway and a cross slot pass to an unmarked guy. Not his fault I’m sorry.

If it wasn’t for him in the first JS, we should/would have been down.

Barzal with a stupid penalty. This kid has got me nuts today.

He’s not the guy that’ll ever make the “big save” to keep you in the game. For as crazy as you think I am for saying that I think you’re just as nuts for not realizing that. That’s the difference make in the playoffs. He got so burned on that it was funny

This game has started to heat up real quick all of a sudden.

But one thing that TBL has been practicing throughout the regular season was maintaining a lead if they have one (sound defensive hockey), being able to come back from setbacks, unrelenting pressure on the forecheck, and getting gritty.

They've been training for the playoffs the entire time during the regular season (especially after that embarrassing series against CBJ last year). As for the results, so far, so good.

Are we making pretend he did not get completely turned around on that first goal? I have a hard time understanding the defending of this guy. It was a breakaway in the simplest form of it yeah with no worry of a pass whatsoever and he got completely burned.
