If nothing else, the Hurricanes-Islanders series shows true poetic justice

I mean, if you live and die by advanced stats, maybe? Sure?

I'm pretty sure "poetic justice" does not mean what you think it does.

On the series though, what it does show to me is that Carolina Hurricanes's advanced stats translate into postseason success, as has often been the case.

So is the point of this thread that the Canes don't deserve to have a 3-0 lead because some fancy stats favor the Islanders?

Tupac is actually playing for the Canes, the injuries have gotten so insane.

 

[The Pale King]

All I know is this is the most I've piled onto a bandwagon since the 2003 Wild. But this Canes team is a lot more fun.

Poetic Jerkstice?

A hologram is never gonna hurt you with a boarding call or slashing, but they can still take interference penalties all day long.

It's do or die for the isles...

Scots Wha Hae

BY ROBERT BURNS
Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled,
Scots, wham Bruce has aften led;
Welcome to your gory bed,
Or to victory!
Now's the day, and now's the hour;
See the front o' battle lour;
See approach proud Edward's power—
Chains and slavery!
Wha will be a traitor knave?
Wha can fill a coward's grave!
Wha sae base as be a slave?
Let him turn and flee!
Wha for Scotland's king and law
Freedom's sword will strongly draw,
Freeman stand, or freeman fa',
Let him follow me!
By oppression's woes and pains!
By your sons in servile chains!
We will drain our dearest veins,
But they shall be free!
Lay the proud usurpers low!
Tyrants fall in every foe!
Liberty's in every blow!—
Let us do or die!

Oh wow did this crack me up. Thanks Kuzya, wish I could have sent more than one like.

Poetic justice... is that in the column right next to goals against on the NHL website?

Could you imagine a superstar leaving the pathetic team that drafted him, just to go to another team full of "superstars" and then that superstar all-star team finished lower in the standings than that pathetic team. LOL could you imagine? IF that actually happened the Poetic Justice/60 would be off the charts!
Are you also a fan of irony?

I had always kind of liked the Islanders, but getting to know their fans has changed that.

Think youre are gonna hang a "won 1 more playoff game than Jon Tavares in 2019" banner? Seems like a pretty big deal to you guys.

As a CBJ fan (and I think Boston fans will agree with me as well) I hope that the Islanders win a couple of games to extend the series somewhat.

But at the same time I think this is exactly what NYI has deserved. Its totally cool that someone has found a way to beat the shit out of this anti hockey defensive juggernaut. Well done Canes. Seeing NYI getting raped is great news for this sport in general.

No karmic plan
decides who won.
Canes scored more goals,
This thread is done.

(there's your poetic justice)
