2020 ECF: Tampa Bay Lightning vs. New York Islanders | TBL leads 3-2 (Pt.2)

[KevFu]

Imagine if he pulled something doing that.

Yeah, he has to at least make sure that if he hits a teammate, it's Komarov.

 

[ThreeLeftSkates]

Pelech MVP for slinging down Point with just 9 minutes left in the last game.

Put Cooper in a tough bind, you have Point out there you risk a bigger injury, you don't have him out there you risk playing an extra game.

Brutal hit. Is five games the proper punishment?

 

[kabidjan18]

I saw no white flag. Did we surrender?

Haha let's be real. It's not that I'm not pulling for you...but...

Haha it was a completely fortuitous hit. It was actually very soft.

 

[ThreeLeftSkates]

Haha let's be real. It's not that I'm not pulling for you...but...

Tonight was supposed to be it. Yet, here we are. The fat lady may stay home next game, that is why they play the games.

It looks like a hip problem to me. Unlike Czikas, who was sent home by an elbow to the head.

Imagine if he pulled something doing that.

Its funny you say that. That was my first thought and would be the most islanders thing ever. I also thought he was about to wipe out Barzal lol

 

[flyerslducks]

Forgive me... I havent had my team involved in this much playoff hockey in decades. I'm new at this

ur good my man no need to apologize

 

[kabidjan18]

Well...you know me...I'd be as happy as anyone.

 

[SotasicA]

Eberle scores a big goal every ten years.

Looks like he almost did lol

 

[archangel2]

It would be fun to watch eberle raise the cup on Edmonton ice

 

[Scoresberg]

Tampa's gonna choke. The Sharks of the East.

I always liked Eberle, I’ll be super happy to see him win the cup.

 

[Oilslick941611]

I will be extremely happy if the islanders beat the lightning. I’m pulling for a game seven.

I love the grit the islanders are playing with.

 

[Ignatius]

Isles roaring back?

 

[LightningStrikes]

Credit to the Isles. Both wins they took advantage of unfortunate / dumb plays by TB individuals: McD turning the puck over in his own zone for no apparent reason and Shattenkirk fanning on a shot giving up a 2-on-1 in double OT.

 

[LightningStrikes]

Isles roaring back?

Quietly!

 

[Dr Pepper]

Eberle scores a big goal every ten years.

"CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!"

".......Yes I can!"

 

[Bones45]

Isles had no business winning that game. For endless time- TBL was owning them.


And yet....one whiffed shot gives let's the Isles play another day.

Isles in playoffs and giving us tortured fans weeks of playoff fun?

Priceless.

And Varly is da man!

 

[VinikToWinIt]

Classic Lightning. Hold the Islanders to like 5 shots a period and lose on a slap shot whiff.

 

[Shot of Bailey]

Tampa was clearly the better team again last night. If the Isles don't up their game and spend longer portions of time in the TB zone, this won't get to a game 7. I will say this, prior to this series starting, there was a ton of debate about who has the better D and being a fan of Isles and not watching TB much I didn't offer my opinion. But now, I am comfortable saying, this TB def is underrated and Hedman is the best D-man in the league and I'm not sure anyone is close. With all that said....LET'S GO ISLES!!!

 

[JayDog16]

Just want to say, Hedman is one of the best, if not the best, defensemen I've ever seen in my life. Been watching hockey for almost 30 years now. He might not have the all-time stats but he's an all-time great.

Watching hockey for 30 years you manage to miss Lidstrom, Chelios, Bourque, and Leetch? Maaan...

 

[Anisimovs AK]

now that this series is going 6. If it ends on Thursday, they SHOULD start Monday

They wont because going against Monday night football would be ratings suicide
