The Islanders need to whip their cocks out and shove it down Carolina all series long.

It should be quiet, most wanted the Draft thread. That should be packed.
The Real JT
No diving allowed
Keeping it classy Isles fans.
I’d just like to add that if the first part is big enough, the second part won’t fit.
On a more serious note, I actually don’t mind this matchup considering some of the alternatives. We know this team well and considering our recent play, I think we have more than a fighting chance here.

no draft party?
Just really think they don't match up well at all vrs the canes. Game 1 should be interesting. Does Roy play #17?

Martin needs to be very limited if he does play. His turning/agility is so bad and a team like Carolina will take full advantage of that.
You’d have to wake him from his nap first.
May I suggest trading Palms + 2nd for a bag of pucks in the meantime?

Roy is much better at strategy than Lambert. In its most basic form, he yanked Sorokin after giving him a long leash. That move alone has the Isles in the playoffs.
I see the isles rattling Carolina early taking game 1 and 2. Almost like the Pens/Bruins series.

Win a game on the road. IIRC Carolina struggles on the road in the playoffs.

The game plan should be to aim to split in CAR and give them hell Games 3 & 4 to put them in a good spot

Anyone else already wanting to coldcock Brind’Amour and his super punchable whiny face? The one he always makes to curry calls in his favor.

Would have liked to change it up and play another squad in the post season but here we are again. LGI

Post #3 in this thread and not sure we'll have a more aggressive one than that.
Wish the Isles came out that aggresive in games.*
*And finished that aggressive, but given how that pun might be taken I had to put it in the fine print.
Win a playoff round?

Dont @ me, but have this feeling we take both games on the road. We are in wagon mode. Anderson vs. Varlamov? We have to have the advantage, no? And plus, no mayfield to dive all over the ice all series long. That in itself cost us 2 games.

True, but that's regular season vs. playoffs. Last I checked, "Andersen" is not spelled "Smith".
Until proven otherwise, I'll say the Canes' #1 goalie is the 3rd best goalie in the series.

Anyone with a stathead account, go check out the saves/goals stats Brind'amor had vs Roy and then call Brind'amor a loser...unless he owned Roy for some reason; in which case, don't post the stats.
