Bottom line is the team is playing great. If they can maintain this type of play (which we all know is hard to do) we can beat anyone. We just have to stick to the system and let the chips fall that’s really it.

I doubt Wilson is banged up. I expect he and Ovi to come out hitting with vengeance on Friday if Bacs is still out.

I think that’s Berry’s plan, let Washington focus on hitting. Hitting won’t slow up NY. OVI can get distracted when throwing his body around.

Hitting has always been part of our game. That's what the 4th line is about. There's going to be hitting, but I get your point about not getting everyone caught up in it. If the 4th can wear down Ovi and Wilson in the next game, that would be a plus.

If this guy is so famous, why doesn't he have a last name?

We would have heard from the league by now, but confirming there's no supplemental discipline coming for Anders Lee for his Game 1 hit on Nick Backstrom.

No head contact, which is normally the @NHLPlayerSafety standard for a hearing on an interference penalty. #Isles

I think Varlamov has been good and this is going to come off as being critical which I’m not being but the guy has not really been tested a whole helluva lot at all. The defense has been fantastic in front of him and I think that’s a huge product of him “playing good”.

If the defense falters a bit at points and he fills in the spaces then I’ll say he has been great but until then to me it’s to be determined. He is a streaky tender and has had his moments throughout his career so let’s hope he’s on a streak. No, I’m not a fan but that’s how I see it.

As long as he doesn't go with your 'all Ross, no goalie' lineup.

If you think wife jokes bother me let alone anything you could possibly type out you’re what you usually are. Wrong. Also, if you think I initiated this whole wife joke thing you’re wrong again and are having one of your usual revisionist history moments but that’s ok. I don’t care.

I like that you squeezed DiPietro into the lineup. The guy is still on the payroll and needs to earn his keep!

I'd be afraid that the stupidity would be contagious.
