The funny thing is the lightning played probably their worst game ever in game 4 and still almost tied it if not for an amazing save by their defenseman. This is what happens when the real lightning show up. Islanders are toast.

Both games had similar 1st periods except the puck went in the net this time and we never looked back.

So when the Bolts lose, they didn’t show up, but when they win, the other team obviously showed up and TBL just beat them? Win with some class. Your team completely destroyed the Islanders tonight. Don’t bet on it happening again.

They don't need it to happen again. They've shown they can beat the Islanders in whatever way the Islanders want to play. GG either way.

Yeah I gotta say, it's absolutely infuriating how anytime a team loses their fans puts it down to laziness or lack of effort. We love to assume that our team can beat anyone if they 'just wanted to'. Sometimes the other team can just play better.

Well, seeing as how New York was dragged into this, I think it's only fair that the lend the services of some players...


You can insult the Islanders all you want (and you should) and Lord knows I have, but when you bring in my state, we've got a problem! If they said "New York City" sucks, I'd be going all El Nino on those Tampa bastids.

This times 1,000. Sometimes you're windshield and sometimes you're the bug.

Right? I don’t think the Islanders played their best game tonight, but Tampa dictated the play and made the Islanders look bad. That’s a testament to Tampa. The opposite was true about Saturday night. It’s ok to give your opponents credit lol.

Honestly, Isles fans I wouldn't take it too hard. 2017 ECF the Sens lost 7-0 to the Pens in Game #5. Then, they won game #6 2-1. Ultimately losing 3-2 in 2OT in Game #7, but the point is that getting blown out one game doesn't mean the series is over. Sometimes every bad thing happens in one night.

We’re not. It was just one of those games. Burn the tape and be ready for Wednesday.
