GDT: 6/15/21 - 8:00PM EDT - New York Islanders vs Tampa Bay [SF GAME 2]

Reading the Isles board is hilarious, Apparently, everything is an embellishment and a flop. And the Isles never do anything wrong and we are just flopping all over the ice getting calls.

I am remembering why I disliked them last year.

I love hockey, but I hate hockey fans. There’s just too many petty, irrational, and frankly childish fans. It kinda sucks really.

Reminds me of the Eagles fans who were so sure they would never lose to the Bucs in the NFC Championship because of what a cold and loud shithole the Vet was. Then we shut that shit down, lmao.

It's so dumb. They've already lost two games there! It's not some impregnable fortress. And the Lightning just went 3-0 on the road in the last round in a similarly loud and crazy barn.

One of the most glorious historical facts in NFL history is that the last official game at the Vet was a Buccaneer win, and the first official game at their new stadium the very next season is also a Buccaneer win. I remember it well, shutting them out on MNF.

 

[Hoek]

Honestly if what it takes for the refs to call the blatant shit the Isles normally get away with is some gamesmanship I'm all for it.

In the words of Tortorella, Trotz needs to shut his yap.

what did he say now?

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

what did he say now?

In the Bruins series he was saying stuff about Hall, Pastrnak, and Bergeron, and now he’s commenting on our team. It’s just a bad look.

Lol that's good shit.

 

[LightningStrikes]

That’s the same guy who sent out his 4th line in the first shift of game 1 to stir shit up.

Live look at Trotz while he was saying that...

This is rich considering the outrage after Cassidy went into the Refs.

 

[Volodya Krutov]

Still pretty close so far at even strength, that was much better yesterday tho. We generate more chances but the Ilses are very opportunist and create slightly more High danger Corsi, like deflected shots.

What might make again the difference is that Tampa's special teams are more effective. That series is too close to let NY dominate 5v5, but yesterday was a good start.

I think we play drastically better on the road, facing an hostile environment too. That's where this team thrives. NY fans think we can't beat them there... This is going to be interesting.

 

[BoltSTH]

7 > 6 bro!

I doubt the Refs last night could count to six, nevermind 7. 1, 2, 3 4, full strength

I actually agree with Trotz in principle. I saw more embellishment on our end last night for sure, and wish guys would just stay on their feet when able and give the officials an honest look. Nothing was egregiously bad but I can't stand when guys go down easy hoping to draw calls. Trotz isn't wrong imo.

Doesn't look great to say that after a 1 sided loss but I see what he's getting at.

I dont think he needs to worry about it. I doubt we get many pps in NY. We were better 5v5 last game but will need to be better when on the road. However, if we play our best game isles are outmatched and that should bring more frustration on their part which will naturally draw at least some calls.

 

[BoltzManConstant]

Christ, first crying about no call on our 2nd goal and now moaning about Tampa embellishing?

Suck it up and play the game, Isles. Would be one thing if he acknowledged how bullshit the call was on Point, but nah, that f***s his narrative about the poor poor Isles.

Exactly they were pissed they got called when they normally get no calls against them. Well they definitely play that ideal style in the playoffs when you got size and can get away with some interference here and there. Oh my tragic they can't get away with some interference for a game. Refs will be back on their side in NY. Watch we will be mentioning this over the next couple games.

Hey I can post on the main boards again
