Well, for the 1,000,000,000th time, I was wrong. Therefore I am posting this thread for people to flame away.
I said no way the Islanders would win game 7 after losing back to back OT games, and blowing a 3-1 series lead. I said no teams ever come back from blowing a 3-1 lead. Boy was I wrong, ALL 3 teams that blew 3-1 series leads, won on Friday and Saturday.
In my own defense, it turns out the Isles are the FIRST team to ever lose 3 OT games in a series, yet still win the series. They made history boys and girls. Also in my own defense, I did say the only chance they had to win is if they started Greiss. But not only did they do that, they played that spectacular team defense that makes them so successful.
I must always remember, they have Barry Trotz, so they always have a chance. I believe Washington was down in ALL 4 series and still win the Cup in 2017-18. He is an incredible coach, Islander’s players believe in him 100%, and he believes in them. Shoutout to Brassard, who we all bashed, having a really nice series. Our team is a top 4 team (worst case scenario), and we were top 8 last year. What a difference Lamoriello/Trotz and great owners have made.
