Math makes it hard to win the Cup every year no matter how good the team is because of how many other teams that have to not win it each time. Math also makes it unlikely the Islanders will sweep this series.
Math makes it more likely the Islanders will win 3 before we win 4, I know, but most of us would be just as nervous with a lead in the series, especially given the goalie we're facing, as we are right now. This team, and Holtby in particular, have shown the ability to have bad games, and to follow those up with good games, this season.
I think passion is great. That's part of being a fan(atic). I just wouldn't be so quick to go with the full-negative deal though--nothing that actually matters has even happened yet. Let's reconvene and reassess once the series is over.
It's the best time of the year. I say let's chill a little bit at least and try to enjoy the **** out of it, as much as is possible. No matter what happens, I certainly cut Trotz a break in his first year here. So far, it's been more than I expected when I found out he was being hired, and I am not going to get all that worried about anything unless/until the Islanders have three games won.
