GDT: #5 | Tampa Bay Lightning @ New York Islanders | September 15th | 8:00 PM | F/OTW 2-1

Cooper is just trying to deflect from potential concerns rising about TB's record in recent years in ECFs when they can clinch. That's 5 consecutive losses in clinching games, if I'm not mistaken. So, he's saying they played great and it was bad luck.

 

[MJF]

It was NHL Network all morning.

I believe the host stated "Uh..Oh"

Cooper also said his confidence level is even higher after the game.

He’s whistling through a graveyard.

He has to be on the hot seat if we win, let alone push to 7. If they don't get a cup this year there will be changes

i have to say that although im grateful we have had at least an extra 6 games of islander hockey this year with a trip to the ecf, i have to also say that im super mad that game 1 of the ecf was played a day after travel day smh. They basically handed tbl a win in this best of 7. so many what ifs. one can argue it has been the islanders who have been the better team in 3 out of the 5 games thus far.

Anything from here on out in this series is gravy. We are for sure playing with house money but boy oh boy how great would a game 7 be!?!? i would love to see tbl players with all the pressure on them!!!

cooper is a pos for saying what he said, talk about cocky geez. i hope the islanders make him pay for those words!! lfgi

After last night, I'd like to extend a special thank you to the Rags (Yes you read that right) for buying out Shattenkirk and letting the Bolts sign him.

Imagine talking shit about this dude? He's gonna break someones.....bones.

I would pay big money to watch a Bailey and @Bones45 Death Match to see Bones soil himself.

Another note on Shattenkirk:

We finally found a player that Lee can beat in a footrace.
Anders looked like Bob Bourne back in the day.

Lee was moving forward where as Shattenkirk had to shift momentum to go the other way. Most Dmen get caught there. The mistake was Sergachev who decided not to attack Lee and take the chance that Lee would fire across to Eberle who would then be gone. You can see Sergachev makes the decision just before the blue line that he will attempt to block the pass vs try to hit Lee and break the play up. I felt he was close enough to get to Lee and made the wrong decision

You're correct but don't ruin my attempt to make fun of the Captain's skating.

 

[NittanyIsle]

Has anyone done the Eberle goal and Varlamov slide with the Titanic song yet?

 

[dlawong]

It is good to see that emotional display from Varly.

 

[BillD]

That can't be a real quote...

If true it is locker room bulletin board material and not very smart from a coach trying to advance to the finals.
Cool. We didn't come close to playing our best game last night.
The boys got what they needed.
Our best game (s) are just ahead of us. Kucherov might be the next to flub a shot.
The Hockey Gods don't like smugness coach.

I love this Tweet. Whatever happens going fwd, this moment makes me feel good. Yeah I know I am just a big softie. Laugh away.

One of the big highlights of the playoffs for me. Good for these guys, they have earned it

 

[BMOK33]

Stu Grimson just said on the NHL network he didn’t understand what the hell Trotz did with the forward lines, especially separating Clutterbuck and Martin and thought those changes might have led to the Isles struggle to generate offense all night. I definitely was thinking the same

Bailey was just excited and amazed that he was able to glue two hockey sticks together.

 

[mm11]

It's been fun. Does anyone know a fly on Tampa trainers wall that can let us know what the deal with Point is?

He might be evolving into Cro-Magnon.

my uncle lives in Tampa. (Rangers fan). I think it’s well known there that it’s a hip or groin problem. He also said he thinks he is out tomorrow too

Bailey is #5 all time in games played in an islanders uniform. If he plays a full season next year he will be #3. He may end up passing Trottier and playing more games as an islanders than anyone ever. Would love to see that!!

 

[SI90]

Hes a p***y

if bailey is a p***y then what the hell is Eberle? Lol

 

[Sparksrus3]

Do not go gentle into that good night.. Rage, Rage, Against the Dying of the Light
