Stanley Cup Playoffs: Round 1 | New York Islanders vs Carolina Hurricanes Series Discussion

[doublechili]

Make the playoffs in Game 81 with a team that is ostensibly worse than last year’s version. Even after a coaching change.

Sorry if I can’t keep up with the others taking their victory lap.

I must have missed that.

Yawn. Raymond scored some big goals in clutch moments. Barzal, 1–1 in OT for the playoff spot…yeah, nope.

Is UBS gonna be full for Game 3 and 4? Or did the Lou sucks, wanna rebuild, don’t like these toys crowd gonna not show up because the team is ‘mediocre?’

Well you did declare the season over multiple times...

I must have missed that.

Just be sure to remember that we're not winning the cup anyway. OK?!

I just couldn’t blow enough smoke up my own ass to believe this was the wild card team I thought they would be in October.

It’s not that the Islanders were a good team. They were pretty much the same as last year. The rest of the conference passed us on the way down. Yay us

Well whatever, I hope you're able to enjoy these playoff games. Best time of the year.

That’s what it’s all about. Screw the regular season. Just linger close enough to make a playoff spot.

One thing has nothing to do with the other.

As I’ve said, I love hockey hockey. I can watch any 2 teams play. I’ll be there for Games 1, 3 and 4. Renewed my seasons for next year the day I got the invoice in mid March

Give it a rest man. They've gone 7-0-1 since you declared "season's ovah" passing 5 teams along the way.

Not game 2?

 

[periferal]

While an isles canes series isn’t exactly palatable, I don’t see a rags Washington series as any more thrilling either. The other two series in the East would/should get prime time billing.

Agree, but annoyingly the rangers are pretty much the #1 team the NHL would like to go far. When the rangers are playing deep into the spring more people pay attention - Regardless of who they play. I don't like it, but it's facts.

Could we stay on topic?

 

[Bones45]

Could we stay on topic?

You're kidding right? Have you met us?

 

[Riseonfire]

Hate to say it but I think we'll miss Scott Mayfield here.

Dude transformed in the postseason.

Could we stay on topic?

NO, DAD!

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

I'm looking at a big series for one.....Bo Horvat.

Make up for your performance against these guys last time.

Also, p***y Pierre, we need Pushy Pierre back again.

7-0-1? That’s pretty good.

I’m flattered that you bookmark my posts. Do you do that for everyone here?

Not game 2?

Previous appointment. I don’t print my own money.

 

[Nizami Ganjavi]

7-0-1? That’s pretty good.

I know right?!

I’m flattered that you bookmark my posts. Do you do that for everyone here?

Bookmark? No. Remember? Yes. Not sure if you should be flattered but it's certainly not the norm for me!

I feel like I need to take out a restraining order against you.

 

[Nizami Ganjavi]

I feel like I need to take out a restraining order against you.

Or you could just post less. Either way.

 

[Fantom]

well lets hope we show up and take it one game at a time

 

[MarsTBOW]

Would love to agree with you here, but you know what's equally as important as goal-tending, perhaps even moreso?

Solid, consistent, D-fense.

Some have it and some dont.

We don't.

I cannot disagree with you, although some nights we have it for up to 50 55 mins maximum.

That's what she said.

 

[MarsTBOW]

You think going 9-1 with 1.30 GAA and 0.951 save % over those 10 games and now suddenly he’s going to shit the bed? I mean I certainly hope so, but doesn’t seem likely.

Keep reaching for those stars, cowboy

We will see....

Does anyone know how many players are allowed on the taxi squad?

I believe black aces is 5.

Well, Vegas lingered and ended up in the 3 spot too.

Now, it’s about what you do in the playoffs.

One team is 45-28-8. The other team is 38-27-16. There’s no comparison.

Be better Lou.

 

[Potvottier]

Prediction... Isles in 6.

It is past due that we start beating the Canes.
