Hooked on Phonics...pronto

Never heard of auto correct..

its a great story this islanders team, Face of the franchise lies to them and leaves them without no picks or prospects as compensation. Everyone counts them out because in all likelihood, how can a team that didn't make the playoffs last year possibly make it after losing their best player. But it seems like the Isles players have taken Tavares's betrayal personal.

if somehow leafs and isles meet in the playoffs, watch out! it will be one for the ages.

This is the one thing that I'd love to see. If Boston and Montreal can pass Toronto and the Isles hold onto first, that would be almost too good to be true.

I'm also quite certain HF would be able to have civil discussion during the series, too. I can't possibly see how it could turn into anything non-friendly.

Islanders are playing amazing hockey and a serious threat for whoever they face in playoffs.

Who would you be rooting for?

Leafs would love that. Much easier matchup than Boston or Montreal.

I don't think it is a coincidence this is partly due to Trotz rolling 4 lines, and 3 D pairings. Guys are more fresh.

Boychuk is no doubt enjoying this. Looks like he did the 1st year we signed him.

Isles.

Team > Individuals.

In Lou and Barry we trust.

Careful for what you wish for.

Do they skate the morning of the second game?

I remember the Rangers doing something similar one year (like 10-0 or 10-1, something like that) and AV stopped having the morning skate for back-to-backs which was pretty taboo at the time.

Not that I wanna give AV credit for anything, but that one thing was smart and worked.

Didn't the leafs get spanked by the Isles while ago in Toronto?.....not to mention the Leafs haven't won a playoff series in god knows how long.

Leafs winning a playoffs series? Never heard of it

It would be easier. Leafs would be out in 5 games rather than 7

Is this thread necessary?

I don't like it when we draw attention to ourselves

Yes it is.

This could be unprecedented.

You could just give credit to Anders Lee instead

At this point the Islanders 2019 unprotected 1st is a late one. Lou knows its expendable.

We need a finisher and have the pieces to offer while still being able to make prospects untouchable. That's right kiddies, no ultimatums where we give up Wall-E, Dobson, Wilde, or Sorokin. You get Bellows if we get Panarin, Stone, or Duchene - if not, settle for our lesser prospects.

Don't like it? We'll hold out, hopefully get our chance to sit down with Panarin July 1st. Garth Snow for all his faults hoarded which leaves us with a cabinet as filled as a hockey team could ask for. Lord have mercy.

Yeah cause Babcock can adjust so well and wouldn’t play exactly how Barry trotz would expect

 

[benedictTavares]

You guys played a great game tonight..
GOTEM

I hope the Islanders choose a cool-looking snake to put in the Stanley Cup this year.

The Leafs living in the Penguin fans head now as well? Is rent free over there?

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Who would you be rooting for?

Is there any way that it could be a total bloodbath to the point where whoever wins has to forfeit the next round?

It's a pretty sweet stat and not that common. Might as well.
