It’s never felt like a major home ice advantage for them in Brooklyn. Not this year; not ever. The contrast when they play in Uniondale is inescapable - the difference in intensity and focus. I can’t explain it.It's very evident that the Islanders have lost their home ice advantage playing these games in Brooklyn. These crowds are noticeably quieter and the ice looks terrible.

Raleigh has taken them completely out of their game. Or the lay-off has. Or both. 1 goal in 2 games and that one a fluke deflection off a defenseman’s stick.
How badly is Mrazek hurt? Didn’t see it (had turned it off at that point).
Isles hit 4 pipes though. Canes were super fortunate today.People wonder why I wanted to see Washington and Tampa. Isles had one freaking goal against a team that lost a defenseman early in the first and lost their starting goalie half way through, only managing 17 shots against the backup. Gross.
Am I the only one who wants the Isles over the Canes here? The hockey media counterculture people that dominate the podcast landscape refused to shut up about them for the past few years and I want them to eat crow.
I would prefer they both lose, but I guess somebody has to win the series.

Boston Toronto and Knights Sharks were practically killing each other, Capitals Hurricanes was also a very physical series. We are only two games into round 2, I expect the intensity to build.These playoffs generally seem to lack intensity.
I think if anything, I might be the only one who wants the Canes over the Isles here.Am I the only one who wants the Isles over the Canes here?
