Ah, gotta love the "WE WANT TAMPA!!!!!!" chants.The "You got Tampa" chant was a nice touch from the crowd.
Onto game 6.
I’ll take an 8-0 rump any day of the week.After an 8-0 rump... they're gonna say that game was punishment enough and let him skate.
5 even strength goals tonight. You're scared for sure now, lol.Still doesn't scare me
We certainly are. I'm sure that changed from Isles in 6 in your mind. Tampa is positively quaking.Isles in 7. Tampa is in trouble.
Barzel should be suspicious, doubt he will. NHL has to do what the NHL does.
They could go the Panthers route and start their Spencer Knight goaltender. Dunno if the Islanders have a young stud goalie in the pipeline. It delayed the inevitable by a game though when Knight shocked the world for one game. Hard choice to choose a goalie if you're the Islanders and Tampa just clowned on both your keepers.Disagree, it’s the play offs, you want to send a message and get in your opponents heads. This is either going to motivate the Islanders for the next game or Tampa will have gotten into their heads. It just adds to the story line.

I see. So I guess they don't really have an ace in the hole. Probably still best to go with Sorokin for game 6. He certainly wasn't bad. I don't think Varlamov was either though.Sorokin is their Spencer Knight. I feel bad for the kid, took a puck off the neck and toughed it out so Varlamov wouldn't have to go back in. Was on the wrong side of a ton of bad bounces too.
They flew to Edmonton right after the game then last night they jumped on a late flight to Tampa. They were waiting for the clock to show 8PM on the west coast from the looks of it.Just curious... did the Isles jet take a detour around the world before landing in Tampa? You know last year and all and that excuse about being tired....
