That's how you put your foot on the gas in the third. Still so satisfying that we get to have games like that now. Very often in the "Tavares era" the Islanders would benefit from a slow start to the other team but once the opponent started playing hockey they were in trouble.

Sorokin was very good. I think on goal 3 his angle was a little off and gave Kapanen a little too much net to shoot at, but this game could have very easily gotten out of hand after the first if it weren’t for his play.
I thought so too but enough went wrong on that goal that I just write it off to a great shot by Kapanen. But yeah Sorokin was a wall.

Had a remarkable weekend ofsport.
My Aussie Rules team snapped a 17 game losing streak.
Son's team, Leicester City, won FA Cup.
Denver Nuggets won.
I didn't dare think the Isles could make ir perfection!

Playoff Pageau, he is good player all the time but he becomes next level in playoffs. He is just one of those guys who raises his game.

Amen.

And these are the players you target in the draft, trades, and FA - Guys who get BETTER in the playoffs.

isles can never get any credit lol. It’s always an excuse. Jarry wasn’t good but come one. Pageau and Palmieri goals were snipes.


Literally could not care what anyone else says.

Let the aisles win the Cup and have the media say because the western conference tram didn’t show up.

ok. I’ll be drinking at the parade.

Actually thought Barzal was ok today, he was safer with puck and created a good chance in OT. He will be fine and going to produce if this team goes on any type of run like last year.

I mean yeah, his first SOG in the game was in OT. I’d like to see him shooting sooner than that.

Jarry sucks, fire it top shelf on him.

Pageau obviously was a great pick up. Yeah we resigned him to a big deal but I'd rather have him than not. The Canadien press made fun of tis pick up last year(still pissed about the 80s they are).He does it all, scores, SHOOTS, and hits/plays defense. Sort of like the anti-Bailey.:naughty:
