Time for revenge.

We're baaaaack!!!

I know the Canes have owned us in the past , but it's a new season, time to put that in our rear view mirror and be positive. In Sorokin we trust. We can do this.

LGI!!

 

[MarsTBOW]

Gotta slow down that forecheck and hit them hard. Transition game better be going cause the Canes are very good at that.... Need to give them Lots of Bruises in game #1 as an attention getter....

Lane vs Rod has to be an all-time handsome coaching matchup.

Since we lost to the Caps and were on the outside looking in 3 days ago, everything has broken perfectly for us.. WC 1, avoiding the Bruins(no disrespect to the Canes), Pens out of the playoffs

Here is hoping we get Barzal and Romanov back... looking forward to this series and our first playoff games at UBS... Let the good times roll.

Behind enemy lines.

Play your 4 line game. Stay out of the box. Hit everything that moves.

(Pray Barzy and Romo can return)

 

[IslesCLT]

We will play until only one Aho is left standing

 

[Lame Lambert]

If Barzy and Romanov aren’t back this will be over very quickly

 

[Islanders4Cups]

Take game 1 in Carolina. Let’s go!!!

Soroking steals one of the first two games. Barzy and Romo come back in game 3 and we lose in 7. Throttle blames everything on Barzal. LGI!

We're not winning the cup anyway.

Speculation: - Playoff RACE - Breakdown

Yes your first scenario is correct. BUT I edited an earlier reply - any FLA W means they beat us out in points with 94 to our 93. We need a Canes W wednesday Yes your first scenario is correct. BUT I edited an earlier reply - any FLA W means they beat us out in points with 94 to our 93. We...

Isles in 7

 

[JayDog16]

It's still cool we finished 7th instead of 8th. I would've signed for that at the start of the season.

I would have signed for that 72 hours ago.

If Ilya can do a Binnington, that'd be ace!

Nah, they made it without him, clearly…

I’ll continue like before and say Isles win their first round opponent.

 

[BelovedIsles]

The Canes offense doesn't scare me. Get Barzal and Romanov back, make this a series. It will be a low scoring, 'boring' affair; both of these teams thrive on that style.

Ultimately the Canes find a way to advance b/c that's what they do and NYI doesn't have the scoring to get that tying or go-ahead goal against a very good defensive team.

In March and April

Isles: 11-6-1 = .639
Canes: 13-10-1 = .563

Easy-peasy Ronald Weasley.

When you put it that way… Good thing the Isles are not playing Boston.

Brad Marchand = Scabbers

 

[The Wahligator]

Would’ve been nice to start on Tuesday to give Romanov and Barzal another day of recovery, but oh well.
