We have more skill than them.

We do? Not after the deadline

These Kings uniforms are great

how tf is Vegas the 8 seed. That’s like when drake and josh pretend they’re ass at pool

 

[TheDirtyH]

crazy that henrique hasn't scored a playoff goal since that finals run when I was in high school!

 

[Kaapo di tutti capi]

I hate the Canes but that hatred is only about 5 years old. My hatred of the Islanders spans nearly 3 decades.

Thank your lucky stars you weren't following hockey during their dynasty years.

 

[LeetchisGod]

I dont see how we pass them unless Igor has some shutouts/stands on his head.

You do realize that we beat them two years ago when they had home ice.

I do. They also should have lost both of those games tbh but it was the Islanders. It would be a good series but we can absolutely beat them.

It feels like Cam Talbot starts for a new western conference team every playoffs.

 

[Anthony5967]

I mean that was a putrid performance both on ice and by Roy. Might be the first big red flag if I am an Isles fan with Roy. Totally content clamping down. Got torched.

I do. They also should have lost both of those games tbh but it was the Islanders. It would be a good series but we can absolutely beat them.

Gabe is letting the fact that the final 40 mins the Isles agreed to let Carolina violate them with ZERO pushback.

[mike14]

what's Vegas' cap at this post season? Is it even higher than last years?

Thank your lucky stars you weren't following hockey during their dynasty years.

She's so excited that she gets to finally interview someone with a worse hairline than hers.

Canes comeback was the most predictable playoff plot ever.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

These central division series are crack.

I like Weekes in the booth

better than Weekes in the bathroom. or his living room. or the staircase

 

[Kaapo di tutti capi]

better than Weekes in the bathroom. or his living room. or the staircase

... or in goal for the Rangers.

going to listen to burke and goring's call of the game while pumping an empty ben and jerry's pint

Sexy

 

[80shockeywasbuns]

Seriously what is the logic/rational reason behind the cap just going away when the games start to count? It doesn’t make sense.

Canes tie it. Wouldn’t mind an Islander winner in 4OT.

Or that. Yikes.

I might be wrong but I read today that Vegas 20 man lineup last year was cap compliant and their lineup this year is 700k over

 

[PuckLuck3043]

The Canes had like 100 shot attempts and 2 goals with 2 minutes to go. The Canes were just being the Canes and then the Piles decided to be the Piles and allowed 3 goals in 80 seconds. Just awful.

…and so it goes.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Are the games not on ESPN plus?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

what a choke job

Piles didn't even look to try

12 SOG all game

I don't know which team is uglier Isles or Canes.

unlike this series, its a tight matchup. I think overall the Isles are uglier, but the Canes are more punchable
