I hate fans who yell "SHOOOOOOT" every time we cross the blue line, but in our case it's warranted. SHOOOOOOT.

Not sure if it was just my section, but it was relentless from the people in my section on Saturday night. Even if there was 3 bodies in the shooting lane

It's the same around 201 where I've been for the playoffs. The minute we have the puck in the zone, on the power play...SHOOOOOOT. Nobody cares that there are big bodies in the way.

Priority #1:

STAY
OUT
OF
THE
BOX

So far:

Boston is 4 for 9 on the PP (44.4%)
NYI are 3 for 11 on the PP (27.2%) and now 3 for our last 15 (20%) without Wahlstrom

I would absolutely HATE this to be what decides this series

Amen brother. f***ing amen. On the PP once the Isles set up in the opponent's zone they have about 5 seconds before some idiot fans just yell, "SHOOT!" without any consideration of situation.

Like we need Bailey 30 feet out on the half-wall with a defender in his face lobbing his softball towards the net.

sooooooooo who becomes the hero tonight. Right here right now. Need the absolute best from Varly


That's the beauty of the playoffs...One night it's Casey Cizikas, another night it's David Volek.

Varly for sure has to play well since we can't seem to score more than 2 goals a game.

The hero ideally really should be a forward or two because Varly has kept us in the last few games.

Pretty sure it won't be Volek tonight. ;)

Who will be the 21st century John Tonelli? Your boy Brock Nelson? I jest, but have a feeling Clutterbuck pops a huge one in tonight...

Yes, Varly has been great against the Bruins this season.

In 10 games:

7-1-1 (we know where that OT loss came from)
322 out of 341 (.944 save percentage)

Allowed 2 goals or less in 7 of the 10 games (allowed ONLY 3 in each of the three remaining games) and that is with 4 of the games going into OT

106 of 112 in this series (.946 save percentage)


And just another reason to stay out of the box:

6 of the 19 goals he has given up against the Bruins (including 2 of the 6 in this series) has come on the PP.
