This site only gives the Islanders a 24% chance of advancing past the Canes. Then again it also gives the Canes a better chance of winning the Cup than the defending champ Avs!

I feel if barzal is truly healthy and can make his line more productive and sorokin needs to be sorokin and the better goalie then I feel the islanders can win this series

I dont think you're gonna need to worry about the goaltending as this kid is lights out at times. He's the MVP. I think the difference maker in this series is going to be the isles PP. Simply put, it needs to be better. Hopefully the insurgence of Barzal will mean zone entry, but you can't win a series with the worst PP in the league.

It's going to be an interesting series for sure. And probably a low-scoring one.

Looking forward to firing a billion shots on Sorokin and losing each game 2-1

I have concerns about Bolduc/Dobson being able to handle the forecheck, that'll be one of those key things to watch.

An illness is going around, says Jim Montgomery. Several players are sick.




Imagine having a historic* season and then losing in the first round because half your players have bad diarrhea

"Jack, it appears the zamboni leaked some hydraulic fluid on the ice between periods."

"No, Andy, I that leak appears to be coming out the bottom of Bergeron's breezers!"

"Would you look at that, Marchand is using Tkachuk's Jersey as toilet paper."

And no matter how bad the sickness is, nothing will ever be worse than the putrid poop that comes out of Jack Edwards' mouth.
