2016-17 Playoff Race: Lightning miss playoffs by one win

[Kramerica Industries]

Islanders seriously gonna win out anyway. Dammit.

 

[Volodya Krutov]

Devils won't score 3 goals in 30 minutes on Halak tonight. Game over.

 

[Volodya Krutov]

2 goals on 8 shots. Outshot 18-8. **** this ****

 

[MrClutch86]

If the Islanders make the playoffs i'll be so mad. I'd rather have Toronto win a game than come so close and be out because of ROW.

 

[RDTBay4]

I can't see NJD coming back from a 2-0 hole.

 

[Stormbreaker]

1-0 Pens

 

[MrClutch86]

1-0 Penguins

 

[Stormbreaker]

Leafs answer right back ugh

 

[Volodya Krutov]

Perfect timing to get out of your scoring slump Phil !

 

[Brie]

I really don't like itcoming down to other teams...let's hope that if nothing else that the team learned from this and that they won't want this happening to them again and work to get into the PO's earlier.

Question who holds the tiebreaker if the Lightning and Isles win out their games?

Isles

Islanders do
That's why it won't matter no matter what. Lightning have no chance.

 

[The Gongshow]

Ugh.. Leafs answer right back after the Kessel goal

Unless the Islanders get pushed to a shootout, they do.

So, if our games end up mattering tomorrow, then I'm not saying you guys need to win, but just getting it to a damn shootout would do wonders.

Especially given that, I know it was early in the season, but the Lightning obliterated the Islanders in the head-to-head this year. Those games weren't even close.

But, given how much I hate shootouts, I am forced to respect that they have won more games outside the shootout this year than the Lightning have.

I don't even know how the Islanders are still in it. They are garbage.

This is what happens when you lose to Vancouver/Colorado and Arizona.

Hopefully the Lightning are still in it by tomorrow.

The Sens will try to push it too a shootout, but they are pretty much resting all their important players.

Unfortunately, that was pretty much a foregone conclusion anyway. This would've felt a whole lot more do-able if these games were reversed, and you'd faced NYI today and the Devils tomorrow. Hoping for the Devils to win is such a hopeless proposition.

 

[Kramerica Industries]

Make that 3-0 Islanders. Mother*****er.

 

[Stormbreaker]

Comeback inc.

 

[RDTBay4]

Isle PP.

 

[Stormbreaker]

Devils suck...

Islanders are terrible and will get swept out of the first round. Shame the Lightning went 0 and freakin' 2 agains the Coyotes and 1-1 against the sorry ass Avalanche this year. They only have themselves to blame for missing the playoffs.

That said, their roster is light years better than NYI and would definitely stand a chance of doing more damage in the playoffs.
