Semifinals: New York Islanders vs. Tampa Bay Lightning (Series tied 3-3) Part III

[The Macho King]

You might notice when you grow up who attacked the TEAM, and who attacked the POSTER. Figure it out.

Guess there is a lot of truth to what I wrote, since the TBL fans are taking it so personally, and attacking me and not my posts.

The surest sign I am right, thanks so much.

There's nothing I can say here that can have any effect on the Islanders as a *team*, though.

its just that, i was mocking your post with a classic joke trope of "incident A is not true, so i will post an equally ridiculous incident B which is also untrue" but then you responded with this which doesnt at all fit into the context of our discourse. its almost like....like you dont know how jokes work? what the hell?

The Lazar post was pointless. The cross check Barzal gave him was to his arm pushing his shoulder pad up. The two incidents are not similar in any way.

i bet the islanders get so embarrassed tomorrow that they never show their faces in the coliseum again

 

[NightMist]

Why would Tavares do this to you guys?

He did it all for the jammies.

Maybe some people will be so upset, that in a couple months people with hard hats and tools will use explosives and machines to bring the structure down.

What a massive whooping. Islanders players are probably hoping they dropped that game before this one so they could be out of their misery.

friendly reminder that you root for the leafs. Lol

 

[BoltsOfAnarchy]

you can probably go to one next week.

meanwhile, coincidentally i bet your schedule will be cleared up

#ZING!

In his defense it is easy to an elbow up high on Mayfield because he is so short.

What a dive.

Goodrow left his feet on that one too.

I hear Toronto has some nice courses in the surrounding towns. Any recommendations?

Barzal earned a suspension. It was a stupid move with the intent to injure after the period and in a game that was a blowout already. I doubt he will be suspended and that will put an asterisk on the fact if you are a media darling you can get way with crap sort of like Crosby and Marchand have year after year. Then Barzal will think he can keep on being a dirty punk.
Kuch was suspended a few years ago with a similar dumb move out of frustration but the Bolts have gotten used to zero love.

No bobby, I was referring to the rest of the NHL PLAYERS.

Who I would imagine if polled, would prefer the TBL to lose.

I would just as soon believe you speak for the faerie people as you do NHL players

hrmmm... looks like mayfield must have caught a rut in the ice.

*bangs gavel*

 

[VinikToWinIt]

So did the Islanders have an emotional game 7 the other night I wasn't aware of?

 

[SI90]

Shots fired.

Pre cap circumvention obviously lol

The rest of the NHL players, huh?

Dougie Hamilton is that you?

Much like PIT was back from 09-16, I'm sure Tampa is pretty widely disliked by players around the league

Of course competitive players wouldn’t want a team to be so far superior in terms of accomplishments.

They certainly want the Bolts to lose.

But they certainly want to join the TBL as well.

KD isn’t rooting for LeBron to get more titles.

These games happen once a decade. Isles are smoked.

I've seen some comments about Tampa " running up the score " last night in various media outlets ( here, sports radio, etc etc ). I never understood why this is an issue with fans of pro sports. Sure, in little league/pee-wee, a mercy rule should be used. But these are pro athletes and they're doing their job. You play the game start to finish like you've been trained and coached to do, regardless of the score. If the other team isn't matching that level of effort and intensity because of the scoreboard, that's on them.

Eh? We'll see. NYI will win 1-0 in game 6 calling it now.

 

[Chardo]

These games happen. Islanders ain't done.

Last non bubble playoff, Washington blew out Carolina 6-0 in game 5 to take a 3-2 lead. Carolina won the next two to advance. And Vegas destroyed San Jose 5-0 in game 4 to go up 3-1. San Jose won 3 straight to take the series.

That's just recently. Good teams do bounce back from blowouts. Islanders ain't done. Yet.
