I wonder if Tampa is done this time...I think they need to win the next 3 because I really doubt they'll win another game 7 in Toronto

Devils finally get a win. Or as Butch would say… “Finally beat the monkey.”

Well at least the Devils won. TB blew their game, in specific, Vasilevskiy. Too bad the isles didn’t face the current version of Vasy during their ECF runs. For the supposed best goalie in the world, he is playing pretty poorly.

a goalie is only as good as the team that is in front of him, unless you are prime hasek of course.

Mackinnon dekes, drives to the net with presence, shots, scores. He learned and listened and trained to do that… That’s how a guy leads and controls a game.

The Tampa/Leafs, NJD/NYR games were great tonight. Tampa was the better team. NJD finally adapted to flaying structured, conservative playoff hockey; it's the only way they'll survive.

It's been a very good playoff thus far - outside of the officiating.

I do wonder if the league has some success during this playoff run if the debt will be paid off and we will see the cap rise significantly.

A Ranger vs. Isles and Bruins vs. Leafs Eastern Conference final 4 would be awesome.

Out West a Vegas vs. McDavid and Avalanche vs. Kaprizov as the Campbell Conference final 4.

Devils in OT. Thank god. Need these teams to destroy each other


Dirty POS and he’s getting up there. Too many miles. Best days are way behind him

Exactly why Lamoriello will be drolling over him…

I'm watching a lot of physicality in this Bruins Panthers game and am very confused since I didn't think you could do that.

McAvoy just crushed someone, hooked someone, and then Pastrnak was slashed on the hand during a scoring opportunity with no calls anywhere.

Edit: Now Tkachuk gives Hathaway a cross check to the ribs that drops him as the period ends. Required attention but seems to be okay.

Ullmark and Tkachuk throw the gloves off but the refs step between them as everyone is fighting around them. Wish they let them go at it.

Here's an unbiased opinion about the officiating from a former player.


You’re focusing too much on hockey and not enough on spring seeding, PK. get your fertilizer out now and start watering. It’s time

I like hockey. I'll be watching the playoffs even without the Islanders in it. :help:

They have been beyond bad in almost every series. The idea of managing a game/series needs to go.

If a team is smaller or a player puts themselves in a bad spot, sorry but that is on you. Protect yourself first and foremost.

If a player continues to hurt players however, hit them with fines and suspensions until they learn or are out of the game.

Make the right calls and, if a team has a problem with anything, have a video session with the coaches afterwards.

If a blatant call is missed, use replay and/or allow challenges to fix it immediately

If a ref is particularly bad, fine them or fire them until you get rid of the dregs.

We have the technology and ability to get rid of 90% or more of this BS.

They managed to call another dumb one on Foligno
