#6| Tampa Bay Lightning @ New York Islanders | September 17th | 8:00 PM | F/TBD

Stammer should have grabbed that Prince of Whales and tried to march into the dressing room but slipped on the ice and re-injured himself.

Barzal kills the PP and then completely leaves his man open in front

No doubt about it. As one of his biggest fans it was painful to watch how poorly he played. I believe the sky is his limit but right now he needs t0 get back to work as he has become beyond predictable.

 

[Captain And Coke]

.500 now in ECF appearances. Go win it all this time Tampa!

 

[blinkman360]

Congrats to Tampa and their fans(most of them at least).

I’m proud of the boys though. 2 years in after people were calling for a rebuild and we already made an ECF appearance. Varly was great tonight but it’s exciting to start the Sorokin era. Dobson looked fantastic coming in ice cold in a ridiculously high pressure game.

Fix this PP and bring in a legit scorer for Barzal and hopefully they can reach that next level.

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

God dam that felt good, Seeing Stammer on the ice, God I hope he plays.

Good series Isles, Good team you guys have over there.

 

[The Macho King]

I'm shaking.

Hell of a series. Varly was amazing.

 

[Olliemets]

Great run Isles. You made the summer of 2020. Thank you. Bolts you have a hell of a collection of talent and had to face 3 very tough physical clubs to get to finals. Congratulations and good luck.

this is the best game. People laugh at me... no one likes hockey... blah blah blah

Nothing beats this for compete level and passion.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

I f***ing love that Goodrow trade now.

"Too expensive"?

Where are those mooks at now?

lol no. That was still an awful trade.
I didn’t notice him the entire game outside of that “almost breakaway”

 

[LightningStorm]

Cirelli!!! To the finals!

 

[KCC]

Unless Dallas' goaltending can hold up it could finally be Tampa's year.

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

This series was more than just a great run for NYI.

This was a symbol to the Islander fan that this organization is not messing around. We have a new coach, new identity, new face of the franchise and new arena. This is what fans of other teams do not understand.

f*** you NBC, the collective “ahhh” we can hear is loud and clear.

Congrats to Tampa, you guys are awesome and deserved to win.

 

[Go Bolts]

Deep respect for the New York Islanders, gave Tampa all they could handle and then some!

 

[Kane One]

No doubt about it. As one of his biggest fans it was painful to watch how poorly he played. I believe the sky is his limit but right now he needs t0 get back to work as he has become beyond predictable.

Yeah this was not a pretty series for him. I think just about everyone saw what he was about to do from a mile away.

 

[King K Rool]

COVID or no COVID, Pierre should always be kept at a distance.

Agreed.

 

[ViD]

I mean everyone says Sorokin is better than Varlamov, but I don’t know how much better is possible than Varly of this series

 

[DANTHEMAN1967]

Actually he had his greatest victory by doing just that. lol

And how did taking all that punishment work out for him?

 

[robertocarlos]

So technically Varlamov scored an own goal to finish it?

They said he would score the winner.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Unless Dallas' goaltending can hold up it could finally be Tampa's year.

whoever wins, they’ll still have an asterisk next to their name for the “COVID Season”

 

[Kranix]

1st Star: Stammer Captained the team to the SCF
2nd Star: Varlamov huge game
3rd Star: Barzal several dubious plays

10,000 posts.

 

[Breakers]

Every single replay I see of Eberle

-He is just standing around doing nothing
-Staring at the puck
-Going to the exact opposite area of where the puck is going
etc etc

 

[macleod50]

I cannot believe the isles played that game losing their #1 dman right before the game. What a good hockey game

Shhh nobody wants to hear that. We only talk about Point’s injury around here.

Good series Bolts’ fans. Love watching Hedman play.

 

[Kimota]

And how did taking all that punishment work out for him?

It's boxing, they are hitting each other over the head, that is not healthy. And he only did the rope a dope once. lol

 

[Zeeker]

I just couldn't be happier to be honest.

Why would an Isles fan be happy they lost?

 

[Novak Djokovic]

4-0 with Brayden Point in the series.

 

[FourRings]

Good series Tampa fans. Good luck in the SCF!

Proud of the way the Isles hung in there. Just need to get a sniper and I think we’ll meet again in the postseason. Tampa’s talent advantage was just too much to overcome. Well deserved series win.
