NHL 2018-19 Stanley Cup Playoffs

I love that I came home to the islanders beating the Pens, and the Lightening going down 2 games to Columbus is wonderful as well.

 

[Bruinaura]

What a shocker.

Yes, I'm floored.

 

[ON3M4N]

Well time to put WPG/STL on the main screen

 

[The Laukomotive]

This is shocking.

But we've seen the bruins come back after losing both at home to start a series

The CBJs themselves got VIP tickets to watch the Capitals come back from 0-2 at home last season

BTW nice job on the avatars. Amazing work!

My pleasure, there'll be more after the weekend

15th vs 8th...big difference.

And watch the game, the Bruins havent been this physical since Claude.

Islanders are hitting with a purpose and to send a message. The Bruins have forgotten how to do that

I told you what the difference is, two hits per game, which is not a huge deal.

The Isles have one physical line (the 4th) just like Boston.

Bruins were 8th in the NHL under Cassidy last year.

 

[BAD BOY]

He has to score for Bruinara....she wished for it earlier.

Hope for the EN

This Islanders crowd might be the most intense I have ever seen. Awesome seeing a smaller old arena like this. Place is a zoo.

For the record, the Kucherov hit may not have been QUITE as bad as Kadri’s. He doesn’t come in with nearly as much as speed and didn’t full on jump his entire body weight into the guy.

Regardless...he put his hands up and jarred his head into the dasher. But the NHL could definitely justify it as just 1 or 2 games IMO. No games at all would seriously just look bad on the league.

Double-edged sword, to be honest. His (lack of) speed means he had even more time to pull off and not target a guy who was on his knees before Kucherov even turned towards him, let alone committed to the hit.

This crowd

 

[Chief Nine]

This crowd

Yeah and if they advance the NHL is forcing them to go back to that overrated POS in Brooklyn. If I was an Isles fan I’d be pissed about that

After seeing Columbus go up 2-0, we HAVE to take care of business.

 

[Fenway]

That crowd in Uniondale reminds me of the old Garden

 

[OV]

"If you're happy and you know it!!!"

 

[Grimey]

Could you imagine if the Bolts got swept? Very unlikely but that would be insane. A 62-win season and bed full of shit to show for it. I'm really impressed with Torts and the Jackets.

 

[BAD BOY]

NYI suffocating the pens. Nobody open . Not even icing it . Lol

 

[Chief Nine]

That crowd in Uniondale reminds me of the old Garden

The old barns were great for that. You knew the crowd was a factor no matter what. The Garden, the Forum, Joe Louis, Chicago Stadium. All great venues for the crowd

 

[BAD BOY]

The bruins need2win tomorrow. I was pissed off all day today.

You gotta be kidding me...this is really a thing? That's outrageous.

I believe @Fenway posted it yesterday. Yeah that’s what is supposed to happen

 

[BAD BOY]

Crosby working on getting a call.

 

[Chief Nine]

Meanwhile, forgot about the Blues Jets. 1-1. Wheeler just tied it up

 

[Mione134]

This is what the B's lack. Hit them. If they have the puck disrupt them and HIT. It makes a difference

Yep it is true:

Should the team qualify for further rounds of the playoffs, any home Islanders games will take place at Barclays Center, reflecting that the Nassau Coliseum does not qualify as an NHL major league facility.
