Nice. That was funny the other night. I can’t even remember the context of my comment but you thinking I meant Vasy and not Varly was classic. Booze, excitement, nerves and playoff hockey in September is a great combination!! Gotta tie it up today! LGI!!!

Point is taking warmup

Would like to see islanders bring a more physical style today. Enough with Tampa's cheap poop after the whistle and running players in the game. I would play Ross as some added muscle.
Again, I have some new found respect for Nelson. I use to think a pillow was stronger then he was. Happily he has proven me wrong. He has been a TIMEX in this series. He takes a lickin and keeps on tickin.
Glad to AB and JGP wake up last game. They have been a little late to this series party but I am glad to see they arrived.
Last game was the game to start Greiss...They choose Varly. I do not see it shifting unless Varly craps the bed again.
Bottom line is ISles need to play their style of game and stick to it. IF they do they have proven that they can beat anyone.
LGI !!!!

Czikas has left the bubble. Kuhn too.

Oh man losing Casey really hurts.

Looks like the Boss is in. Isles need to hit point every chance they get, legally of course

Boychuk and Ross in. MDC out. Not sure maybe Greene too?

Let's go Islanders!

I had a feeling JB would play, Greene looked a bit tired in the last game.

Same lineup

Wow! Bad news. What happened to Kuhnackl???

Also, I didn't realize Casey was so seriously injured.

Don’t know but Casey probs had an issue and it became worse so he had to shutdown, probably needs surgery.

Fack yeah Let’s get this done!

We have a bunch of boys in that can throw mitts. Ross, MM and Boychuk. Looks like Trotz ain’t waitin til regular season for payback.

Yup makes sense.

Same line up you surprised? Now I see Johnston in and the announcers said no change to either line up

No paybacks, play smart finish you checks and always bring a Bolt with you to the box. Always dance with a partner.

Hey boys, just got home from a weekend with kids. I see Casey and Moosknuckle are out for good. That really sucks, but that's playoff hockey.

Yeah, they'll miss Casey's energy, but they can get it done. I know Ross is a polarizing player on this site, but I don't hate him. He knows his roll and can be effective.
