I certainly expected the Canes to take this series longer than 5 games. They will be tough to beat, regardless of whether it's the Isles are Bruins in the next round.

Vasileski is in the zone

Kucherov gets left out of the top tier with McDavid, Mathews and McKinnon but he has a ring and is just filthy while making the players around him better too
- Upstate_isles

Come playoff time he’s better then all of them besides McKinnon and he’s neck and neck with him imo.

Hes like 5 points ahead on McKinnon I believe and his deception on the powerplay makes guys look foolish

The bolts are a machine, they are rolling and over good teams too

That's what a $98M Cap can do for ya.

Tampa has the best goalie, best defenseman and deepest forward group. Plus Cup winning experience. How do they keep winning Playoff games? 🤔

I am not confident at all against Tampa. This team is a force

Will take a look

Wait until 20 minutes before drop of the puck you’ll get them for half the price.

How? By paying $9.5M, $7.8M & $9.5M for their services.

$98M goes a long way to creating a deep team.

Islanders have been one super lucky team the last three years in the playoffs. Every, single, team they’ve beaten have had really bad goaltenders, or they’re playing injured and the refs in those particular series have wanted the Islanders to win. Obviously. I mean we’re really fortunate. We should all write letters to the NHL thanking them even though year after year we get the least amount of PP’s

Thank you, Mr. Tanner.

one series at a time... let's worry about Tampa if and when we win one more game Vs. Boston. .. hopefully we can start that conversation tomorrow morning.

Think they were just commenting on how good Bolts were after winning Canes series. Don't think anyone is looking past the B's. Tonight's gonna be a fun one. LGI!!

The Bruins are going to be playing with desperation tonight. I expect a very difficult game.

Tampa who?

Exactly. Any Islander fan thinking this Bruins series is a done deal is out to lunch. Don’t celebrate until there’s a reason too.

Thank you, Mr. Tanner.

Injuries, refs, goaltenders, the Will of god. It’s real funny and convenient how losing our captain and leading goal scorer and Wahlstrom don’t seem to play a part in anyone’s blame game for why they lose a series

Agreed. Boychuk should count towards the cap.
