"The important thing is I live near Aryne's parents."

I dont want to dwell on JT, but i'm fairly convinced if it was up to him, he'd have stayed...but..."other factors" intruded. OH WELL

 

[MarsTBOW]

We should invite him back for the ceremony puck drop next round.

Yeah only if he is wearing His Jammies while dropping the Puck!

 

[GrandmaSlices51631]

No way Zajac is coming out of the lineup after that game. He was phenomenal today.

Big time player, this whole series, got pucks deep, played physical, the net front presence.

We are finally getting the 2 for 1 we thought we were.

Can't get enough of those shots when it pans to Lou in the pressbox with his mask on.

 

[danteipp]

Great win, now we need to get Wahlstrom back, if only to allow for more options to mix and match. And just in case of an injury. I don't need to see a Ross, Czarnik, Knuckles, etc. at this point.

 

[RMimagery]

What a way to eliminate a team.

Maybe their fans will be less smug next year.

Can't say enough about these guys. Nelson, Bailey, Beau are so under rated. As well our entire D corps. But people are learning.

On to the CF!

 

[IslesRock4]

This is our year boys. Coli was f***ing LIT tonight. My god. Too happy right now.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

I'l

I'll take Pageau and Palmieri/Lee ten times out of ten.

Thank you for helping us dodge a very slow bullet.

Tavares finally helped this team, look at all the capspace he left us to sign winning players as opposed to stats padding players.

 

[SayItAintSoJohnny]

Head to Head Update:

This Series:

Kyle Palmieri 4-2-6 (+7)
Taylor Hall 1-1-2 (-3)

Playoffs:

Palmieri 7-2-9 (+10)
Hall 3-2-5 (-2)

Ya, I think I will take option A

The Boss man has spoken!

Hope you don’t mind me sticking around, but seeing that post from Mike Bossy took me back to my childhood.

He was just sooo deadly. As a Canucks family, we rarely got to watch him until the playoffs, but he always showed up, even though the Games were very rough, he found a way.

I recognize that his determination to fight through the abuse laid upon him shortened his brilliant career. I know 1982 happened and it crushed me as a young teen.

However, I cannot help but smile whenever I think of his ability.

Sorry for the derailment.

As you were.

When the powers that be make the next 10-game DVD set of Isles classics, I’d sure like THIS one to be in the batch.

What a night.

Toronto hockey Twitter pretty funny, but mostly anti-91/Leafs. You can imagine the play that a elimination of Boston is getting, too.

What a night!

@scottywiper did your kids see the game and get the day off from school?

The way this season ended, I never thought we’d be here. This team is just built for the playoffs. The trade with the Devils looked terrible a month ago and now it looks like genius.

So true, they looked SO bad losing 4 of their last 5, included 3 games to two of the worst teams in hockey. Palmieri had 2 goals in 17 games after the trade. But man, I don’t know how they do it, I didn’t think they can turn it on. Palmieri, 7 goals in 12 playoff games. The lack of confidence in those last 5 games, they now have incredible confidence.

No superstars, but so many guys can beat you. Nelson, Bailey, Barzal, Pageau, Beauvillier, Palmieri, Eberle. Great goaltending. The best coach in hockey. It’s unbelievable. Not for nothing, Isles gave Tampa a helluva fight last year, I believe the Isles lost 3 of the 4 games in that series in OT. Isles much better in OT this year in the playoffs.

You can’t mention anyone else to my father besides Ovechkin. Says Bossy was the purest goal scorer he’s ever seen.

 

[SI]

Yup, 3rd rounder. He is what Griffin Reinhart was expected to be. Pelech has come a long way, he is so good now.

Remember when everyone lost their minds when they protected him in the expansion draft - good times.

Bossy was the first islanders jersey I ever had. My first sports hero and my favorite islander ever!

[Reggiet2]

I thought the Isles were a group of talentless hacks??

 

[Richie Daggers Crime]

I LOVE THE NEW YORK ISLANDERS!!!

My favourite player, ol’ Boss; I grew up on that dynasty and that’s why I cheer for the Isles from up in Toronto. I’ve got other teams I cheer for (ironically, Boston is one and the Leafs are decidedly not), but the NYI’s always been my #1.

I remember ‘82 well. That PNE rink lighting made every uniform pop with colour. I thought VCR hung in the best it could, particularly on the scoreboard in the two Nassau games. It was an impossible task for them to win, but the scores never got embarrassing.

[thegoldenyear]

And only two of those five are still playing on! Big Game Brock! Tito the Assassin!

 

[Satan'sIsland81]

Boring hockey!!

There go those boring Islanders leading the entire league in goals for the playoffs. How boring!!!!

 

[Islesfan22]

Great point by Butch. Lou is old school guy not a analytics guy like so many gms are and hf posters are.

 

[beach]

I married Pens fan. And he makes me watch their games. And I make him listen to me fawning over Letang, because he's ridiculously hot. The hair helps.

How is it that Letang's teeth are perfect? Noticed that last round for some reason.
