Looked like Columbus was trying to wear down the Bruins last night.

Could pay off later in the series.

I noticed that in the 2nd period, on the other hand I thought they looked more tired than the Bruins in the 3rd and in parts of the OT.

"The NBC commentators are Bruins fans, it's annoying." posted by FF de Mars. The idiot Milbury even misspoke in his excitement when he started by saying" We are" instead of they are about the Bruins.

The Bruins played well and probably should have won in the 1st ot. Bob was the difference.

Boston can win this series but I remember they ran out of gas last year against Tampa, don't know if it will repeat itself.

NHL giving the Bruins an extra day off ?

 

[JuicyHam]

I still can't get over how terrible the start times of NHL games are. Its just so inconsistent. MLB games are always "first pitch at 7:08" and unless it's raining they always start when they say

 

[Redux91]

Hmmm Golden state vs Houston seems like more fun than "Carolina vs Long Island" the two teams that stole a playoff spot from us lol

Players don't need to be big, but we're going to need heavy players.

Aside from Shaw, the forwards are all light and don't hit hard. Will need that for the playoffs if we make it next year. Gives you a chance to injure someone on the other team in a clean manner.

I don't know if I would classify shaw as a heavy player, although he uses every pound he has when he plays.

Let's see how the jackets do, because they are a team that has many players who play heavy. Josh Anderson is an animal, then you have guys like Foligno, Dubinsky, and Jenner to go along with other skill guys, and a world class goalie when he's not choking. You also got Jones and werenski on defense.

This roster should be a cup contender now that they seem to have come together, and it's probably within the bruins best interest to end this early, or else that heaviness might start playing a bigger factor.

I also don't think it's a coincidence that the last two teams Tampa has lost to in the playoffs are of the heavier variety.

It's ironic that Columbus began to improve once they traded away Rick Nash.

An aging rick nash that brought back a package? You could say the same with Pacioretty trade..

The more ironic point should be Islanders are in round 2 ....SANS john tavares... who just got eliminated in round 1 on his new , supposedly much much better, team.

Kucherov, McDavid and Crosby Hart trophy nominees

I don't like Lehner's body language..

Not just that, there should be no game that drops the puck before 4pm ET

Mrazek injured, back-up comes in and makes a couple of great saves.

 

[MTL-rules]

It's been a long time since I've seen such a poor level of play in a second round playoffs series, but Hurricanes-Islanders... it has to be one of the most talent-less series...

He's a good back up Mcelhinny. Good enough to keep them in the game.

Yeah, but I really like the Islander's team play.

 

[MTL-rules]

Yeah, but I really like the Islander's team play.

I'm impressed by how discipline they are, but I absolutely hate this kind of hockey... this is straight up 90s Devils's trap..

 

[Chili]

Two goals in 5+ periods, could see this series being more of the same.

In fairness to Carolina they are missing 5 players now, including the two they lost this game. Islanders have a lot of trouble burying their chances so far.

Much more agressive on the forecheck though. Devils was more, wait for you at the blue line.

Should be a goal IMO. This league is so difficult to stomach sometimes.

It all depends what you call a kicking motion. He kicked it IMO.

What would annoy me if I'm trotz is that they didn't review it. Isn't that a reviewable play that you don't have to challenge?

I don't mind their style, I think it's entertaining
