Definitely the number one wild card would probably be better than facing the caps in round 1 (if the caps get the 2 or 3 seed) . The golden ticket for us was getting to round 2 and facing the Sens who we should have beat but in no way were we predicted to beat the Habs. At least 75 percent of this board was predicting the Habs to destroy us. I remember that vividly.If the isles hold that #1 metro spot the #1 WC is going to be a golden ticket like it was for the rangers when they faced Montreal or when the isles drew Florida

Oh yeah and I'm still pissed at Florida for giving the Islanders their only playoff round victory in what 27 years? yikesIf the isles hold that #1 metro spot the #1 WC is going to be a golden ticket like it was for the rangers when they faced Montreal or when the isles drew Florida

But yeah they got 2 golden tickets that year, AV happened.

Maybe but to me the image burned in my
Mind was staal swandiving into hank for no
Reason during brassard’s triple deflection ping pong goal.
Annoying ass series that was. We probably would have gotten smoked in the next round anyway but it would have been nice to find out.
I wouldn't be surprised if our biggest rivals inadvertently help us out by taking one of the big players off the market.
Islanders are #1 in the Metro and its because of their insane goaltending. They are in the bottom 1/3rd in goals scored but #1 in goals allowed. That kind of hot goaltending can take you to the SCF. You wonder if Lou makes a big splash on a Stone/Duchene/Panarin. They have the assets.
Islanders/Penguins would be a very interesting first round matchup.
Is that the name of Tony D's right hook?I'm cheering for an earthquake.
Unfortunately Arizona lost.

Looks like he will wind up with more points then the Tampa Bay team as a whole. And that's a lot of points!Kucherov with the backhand beauty.
And Chicago/Sens scored 9 goals in the FIRST periodTampa has scored 3 goals in like 30 seconds between the end of the 2nd period/beginning of the 3rd.
