There's no question to me that the X-factor in this series is Taylor Hall. The Isles went 5-0 against the Bruins (outscoring them 18-8).
Then the Bruins traded for Hall.
After that the Isles went 0-3 against them (and getting outscored 10-3).
Having Hall gives them extra depth scoring that for some reason the Isles had a hard time slowing down. Add in how poor he Isles defense has been playing overall so far this playoffs and there's reason to be concerned. They're going to have to figure out this new(ish) more dynamic Bruins offense because until they do I'm concerned.
I think for maybe one of the gamesWasnt Pasternak injured when we were beating them?
Gotta hit the kid, clean, but hit him when they can. I can't see the Islanders D being as bad as it was in the Pens series so I'll hope they just go back to nice "boring" Islander hockey and concentrate on D. Here's to good night tonight.There's no question to me that the X-factor in this series is Taylor Hall. The Isles went 5-0 against the Bruins (outscoring them 18-8).

Quasimodo predicted all of thisI have this odd calm feeling this playoffs. I also had a vivid dream a few weeks ago that we play the Avs in the finals. Not sure if related. LGI.
