Someone’s gotta save Rick Dipietro, I mean Simeon Varlamov when he goes wandering.
In the Isles defense, every scoring chance they had in the first was a big chance. Nothing was just a generic shot hoping for a rebound.
There can be a first time.
LGI!
I think tonight is as close to a must win for Tampa as you can get without it being an elimination game. I could be wrong, but whatever tonight's result is, I just can't see the Islanders losing game 6 in what could be the last game ever at the old barn.Would be nice to take a win here to not make our life too difficult.
Varlamov was so far out of net he was closer to Vasylevsky than his own net. It reminded me of the time Rask thought BOS was down a goal and skated towards his bench for the extra skater until the bench screamed at him to get back in net. And of this play, as well...
Barzals puck sat on the goal line from that play. If it was any closer it would have been 1-0 after the 1st.If Palms and Barzal scored and hadn't hit the posts, and if anyone other than Leo did not have that breakaway and scored...the game would have been over in the middle of the 2nd period. Several uncoverted grade A chances.
Meh, people always make big stories out of things like that but in reality they don't matter all that much. If the Lightning were to be eliminated in game 6 it'd be because the Isles beat them, not because of some arena farewell crap.I think tonight is as close to a must win for Tampa as you can get without it being an elimination game.

My new lucky hat is 1-0 and it has every intention of continuing the streak. It told me so and I take it at face value.
And if the Isles' shots that hit the post went in, it would have been moot. Therefore, it is what it is.Its amazing how close McDonagh was to scoring, had he been a right shot he would have had it on his forehand and been able to fire it into a wide open net. Had TBL scored to tie it, they would have picked up a HUGE amount of momentum I'm not sure we could have overcome. Sometimes it is truly a game of inches, or even millimeters.
In my mind the McDonagh shot going in was very possible given how far Varlamov had moved out of goal - and could potentially be the turning point in the series.
That would be the most GWG by a defenseman wearing any uniform.The Islanders as a franchise historically have been known to set all types of new records during the playoffs. I think it would be fitting for Ryan Pulock to score his 5th GWG in this game to become the all time leader in most game winning goals by a defenseman wearing an Islander uniform.
Isles win tonight. Then finish it off Wednesday.
I already bet 600 on it.
This Lightning team isn’t the same one we saw last season.
Real money or vbucks?Isles win tonight. Then finish it off Wednesday.

Have to agree, the Bolts are pros but have to assume the Isles having the crowd pretty fired behind them will make it a staunch test for the champs
The game is in Tampa, but it would not surprise me that there are more NYI fans there than TBL ones. TB does not strike me as a city that cares much about hockey.
