Okay, we got at least 3 game sixes, finally some juice in this round tonight.

Remember when we had the idea of driving Mika to the airport for someone like Elias Pettersson? Is he even playing?

True but would have preferred to switch the two that didn't make it to game 6 with the ones that did.

This is disastrous for the Canucks

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Ouch!

That 'Cry" shirt is very appropriate for the Canes.

This kind of stuff I could do without from teams' social media. There's being funny and there's being a douchebag for sport.

 

[CTTribe73]

The Canes will NEVER escape the fact that they are the Hartford Whalers.

We can rag on the Islanders ‘cause it’s a family dispute. Those clowns in Carolina need to STFU.

 

[CTTribe73]

Whoever wins this series is going to get smoked by the Oilers.

Edmonton is fraudulent until further notice

 

[RangersFan1994]

Pionk own goal was brutal. I know he sucks defensively but awful awareness

 

[LionsHeart]

I guess The Rangers officially won the Trouba trade with that Pionk own goal. Yikes.

 

[Cmox]

I am fine with reviewing penalties. IF something

The Hurricanes account is particularly obnoxious.

Cry shirt was designed by Rod Brind'Amour himself, a veteran crier!

 

[94leetch]

That's a shame

These guys are hams.

Borrelli shows up every year so he can watch them lose a first round series, so he can react like its the Cup final, then say nothing about the Islanders again until next playoffs. The restaurant must make a killing though.

I assume that's the point.

 

[Bob Richards]

Hellebuyck has gotten killed in his last few playoff series.

Byron Bader with a PhD in Hockey Knowledge dropping this insightful gem. Pretty sure every single Islander fan has been saying that for 2 years lol

When Kyle MacLean is the one "young" prospect you have who looks even remotely useful at this level, you're in trouble.

Going to be a long, painful road for that team. No farm and so many bad contracts with term. Ripping it down is going to be tough because no one is going to want those contracts with out assets attached to them and they don't have the assets to do it/need the assets for the future.

So many of their moves made no sense then or now. Remember they traded the 13th overall pick for Alex Romanov?

Tbh, that is part of the reason I was rooting for them against the Canes. Not just because I know we would crush them in a Washington-esque fashion, but because it would give Lou the illusion that the Islanders are good and it would further push them into a long term misery.

If he isn't canned thats probably happening anyway.

He's old as balls and knows that he doesn't have much more time left. Gotta try to squeeze out a cup no matter how unlikely and let the next guy clean up the mess.

I'd take the existing player off an ELC over a mid 1st in a mediocre draft basically always.
