GDT: 9/7/20 - 8:00PM EDT - #6 New York Islanders vs #2 Tampa Bay [ECF Game 1]

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

Great game tonight. Motor running on all cylinders.

Prepare for a tougher game 2. No team likes to be embarrassed and their effort level will be high.

Just an observation but at 8-2 with not a ton of time remaining, I though it would have been a good spot to give McIlheny a few minutes of work.

Bolts win!

Not gonna lie, I had the same thought about getting Vasi out of there, but, on the other hand, honestly, is 8-10 minutes off really going to do a whole lot at this point? More of a safeguard against injury if it were to be anything at all, I guess.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

For all the talk about getting a better and motivated Isles team in Game 2, the Bolts can lean back on their experience beating the Bruins 7-1 and coming out on top the game after that.

 

[God King Fudge]

That was so completely one sided. God damn that was a nice win. Keep that mentality and this one will be over quick, better Islanders performances or not.

 

[The Gongshow]

Point and Kuch had 5 point nights. Heddy had 3

 

[Antiramie]

At least we know Cooper knows Johnson sucks ass when he put him out there with Schenn on a 5 on 3 at the end of the game.

Epic troll job.

We gotta unload that coasting SOB.

 

[KuchieKooRov]

Anyone else notice what happened when Hedman was out on the ice with the first PP unit? LOL

f***ING coooper, free hedman! put him back on that unit.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

It's not McDavid good, but it's still good.

 

[Sky04]

Hedman - 10seconds on PP1, 2 goals.

Killorn and Johnny were terrible again. Somethings not right with either of them.

 

[JoVel]

It's not McDavid good, but it's still good.

Stats like these where someone's just desperately trying to put a modern player up there with the likes of Gretzky is my biggest pet peeve.

Like, there are easier ways to say someone's been good.

 

[Coburn and Condra]

I refuse to get too high after one game, all five ECFs in team history have gone 7 games.

That said, I would very much like if we could break that trend in our favor this year.

 

[Antiramie]

Killorn and Johnny were terrible again. Somethings not right with either of them.

Yea, it's called they're just not good and haven't been for awhile.

 

[Sky04]

I wonder if Cooper kicked a garbage can between periods 1 & 2

 

[Stammertime91]

I don't get it cause Killorn wasn't this bad in the regular season. Even if it's conditioning we are how many weeks in now? He's still awful out there. And Johnson is even worse! His speed isn't even noticeable... he doesn't break away from anybody, he's too predictable and his shots are wildly inaccurate and he plays the perimeter.

That whole line was terrible (Cirelli is still playing like garbage). Given the overall performance we saw tonight, that's saying something.

Nothing to be done about it now. Can't break up the other three lines.

That garbage can's name was Barry Trotz.

 

[The Macho King]

This was a fun game.

 

[These Are The Days]

That garbage can had a family

 

[Sky04]

I think Cooper's done a great job these here playoffs but if I see Sergachev on PP1 next game I think that's a fireable offense.

 

[Lightning1995]

Man, that was fun.

Regarding the 2nd line I thought Cirelli had a little more jump tonight. TJ and Killer not so much.

 

[BowDownToVasilevskiy]

That was fun.

Show us on the doll where the fire Cooper clan touched you.

 

[T REX]

I am super superstitious.

This will continue.

 

[Sky04]

Kiddo, I started the clan.

 

[Antiramie]

Kiddo, I started the clan.

So did you see the light or what lol. Like 90% of the posts I see from you are anti anti-Cooper ones.
