GDT: #7| New York Islanders @ Philadelphia Flyers | September 5th | 7:30 PM | F/W 4-0

Sleeper fun reason for last night's win is that it prolongs the agony of Leaf posters.

 

[crashthenet]

Pushed the right buttons for sure.

Can't say enough about Nelson and Pelech. Leddy quietly had a good series. Love to hear some thoughts on Clutterbuck. As most said, the better team won.

One final note before I go to bed.

This game was the antithesis of game 7 in Washington years ago where the team didn't show up. This was a team determined to impose their game on the opposition and did just that. They could've easily folded like that team in Washington so many years ago, but they played a complete 60 minute game where they dictated everything. They played their system, they knew their assignments, and they got the job done. Up and down the lineup they all got it done.

Couldn't stop thinking about this either. I have sympathy (just a little) for Flyer fans as i I know how frustrating that must have been to watch.

Clutter was great in game 6

going to be nice to get the spotlight on the orange white and blue again. Question: is Tampa already hanging out playing ping pong in Edmonton? You would think the Isles will be gassed Monday night. Have to assume some Budweisers are flowing tonight no? Homage to battlin Billy

They might be in Edmonton but if so they only moved Friday. If the Islanders had won on Thursday, game one of the Tampa series would have been last night in Toronto so that the NHL could give the Canadian Market a Hockey Night in Canada game on Saturday night.

Brock Nelson is a gamer and clutch. Never would have thought this (2) years ago. Think the Isles skill is starting to surface. Should be an interesting series coming up. Got no sleep last night. Can't imagine the boys have much gas in the tank on game (1). They may have the Budweiser flu this morning

I cannot believe how young some of the posters on these boards are



... Or how old I am.

No joke. I’m 49 and my family moved to Long Island in 1980 so it’s logical why I’m a diehard fan. Have no idea why anyone in their 30’s or 20’s would be a fan so total shout out to them. It’s been dry times over that stretch!

This is what peak performance looks like, what style, what grace, what beauty.

I agree, I'm a ripe old 49 year old as well. Thought the Isles would never lose when I was 9-10-11 and 12. For the "young guys" Enjoy the run, hopefully Lou and Trotz give us all a fun couple of years.

Good job Isles, good luck next round. Pulling for you guys the rest of the way. Well organized and assembled squad with a lot of very likeable players.

 

[BelovedIsles]

Now that I've processed. The better team won. Everyone played well.

Most of all, we witnessed the first berth into the ECF since '93. Let that marinate. I am...

 

[scottywiper]

As a new Isles fan, I can only imagine how much this means to you rusted on fans!
Enjoy... I certainly am!

child abuse I mean having parents bring you to the games in the Late 90s-00s, then continuing your bad habit into adulthood

 

[Chapin Landvogt]

Absolutely psyched!

And I don't think Tampa is happy about this result...

 

[YearlyLottery]

This series was one shot away from being over in 5. Philly had no business being in game 7 and the Islanders ran away with the game to win a series where they were the better team.

 

[BelovedIsles]

Jones is a Flyers color guy, Boucher is a former Flyer. Why pair them up in a Flyers series??

Yeah, that's what I've been saying for a week. Switched to the Sportsnet coverage; much more balanced.

 

[Satan'sIsland81]

We got not only the back page of Newsday, but the full back page and a portion of the front cover of the New York Post. Only paper that does not cover us at all is the Daily News, which has become a joke of a paper.

 

[Beacon Isles]

Looks like game 1 vs Tampa is Monday at 8 pm EST

 

[Lek]

I have been a fan of this team since it's inception....was actually at a pair of games in '72...and while i will not say i remember definitively....i truly believe this is one of the best games this franchise has ever played. I will watch again to really enjoy the clinic, less the nerves. It was a stellar performance!!!

 

[Riseonfire]

Man I can't NOT think about Bart Scott right now.

TO ALL THE NON-BELIEVERS!!!

"People talked shit about our team, like we hardly made the playoffs! We're a good hockey team!

We know we were a much better team and came and represented ourselves and we were...we're pissed off.
We was ready to come back and show what type of defense, what type of team this was...what kind of character we have.

FOR ALL YOU NON BELIEVERS - disrespect us, talk crap about Lord Bailey... Like he's not the most Loyal Islander on the team

.....See you in Edmonton.



CANT WAIT

I came back to the Island for the weekend to visit family. Just went out to grab a coffee and Isles gear is EVERYWHERE in Huntington.

The sleeping giant fanbase is waking up.

 

[Poulin 0n My St1ck]

Is that also the last time Toronto made the final four?

They lost to Carolina in the ECF in 2002...same year they beat us...

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Trust everyone slept well last night.

Bandwagoners. I’ll take ‘em, though.
