Tampa should come out flying have to be extremely disciplined to avoid taking a penalty in the early minutes of the game.
Good point. I look at game 3 as the true story. I think TB will be amped up tonight. The Isles will try, but it's human nature to not be as desperate as TB is for tonight. This is why I am sort of leaning toward the steal game 2 camp, though I would be happy to be wrong on that one, and the Isles put on another 5v5 clinic. There is something to be said for how the Isles were toughened up this season from Eastern division play, and then beating Pittsburg and Boston to prepare them for the Cup champs. We know the road to the derby is filled with preps. The Isles have the preps of foundation to go all the way this year.I said to a friend on Sunday night, in this series Game 2 will tell the story. Is Tampa unprepared for us and soft from playing a weaker schedule, did they simply take us too lightly, or were the Islanders toughened up from playing in the most competitive division in the league?

This one is up there with this John Matisz tweet.

I think they have to steal one tonight to win also. TB will be coming. They are too well-coached, too experienced and too talented. Winning Gm1 was what we had to do, winning this one is what they have to do.Good point. I look at game 3 as the true story. I think TB will be amped up tonight.

Oh brother...yeah, everyone was tripping over themselves to protect those castoffs.a team that had its roster handed to it, but I'll save that gripe for another thread...
Trotz confirmed yesterday he is healthy and ready to play, but lineup is not changing without injuries or catastrophic failure.Any update on Wally?
Not quite.They'd have to win both. No team who went down 0-2 at home and won their series did not win both 3 and 4 on the road.
And he looks hurt!Pound Hedman, he is not 100%. He is the key to that team.
If the Islanders can somehow win GAME 2, the Islanders would have to lose 4 of 5 with 3 games at the Coliseum. I don't see it happening. As I said in the previous post, they were chasing that Cup for years and finally got it. They're human, maybe they don't have the hunger the ISLANDERS do. Win tonight and we are winning the Cup.
This x100. Tampa is so much more skilled than they showed in Game 1; if they’re moving like they can, it’ll be very easy to trip them and head to the box.Tampa should come out flying have to be extremely disciplined to avoid taking a penalty in the early minutes of the game.
