Around The NHL Part XXVII

[Boris Zubov]

remember when Tyler Johnson was good?

The 2015 Rangers remember.

In reality the Tampa forwards are loving playing with 9 right now. That’s fun. Obviously would rather have their best player but the healthy guys are enjoying it they’re not tired.

islanders have to have this game with these circumstances and outplaying Tampa for most of this game a loss here will be a killer

Luridly.

If thats a penalty the Isles should have spent the entire game in the box.

 

[aufheben]

Why is Tampa playing 7D anyway? Do they just like HAVE to have Luke Schenn in the lineup?

Amazed by that call

 

[Maximus]

Call me crazy but I'd rather the Isles win this series than TB. I just can't stand that team and I admit it's pretty irrational. I was hoping Isles would win and would then get beaten by the Avs but now I just don't even know what I want.

Are you serious? How can any one who calls himself a Ranger fan want the Islanders to win a playoff series let alone an ECF where they would than be one step away from winning a Cup. I don't care how much you don't like Tampa, too root and hope for the hated Islanders to advance is blasphemy....sorry bud it just is!

 

[Maximus]

Imagine wanting the islanders to win the series that takes them to the Cup Final? That’s straight up an abomination of a take

Friggen absurd. I mean it don't get more blasphemous than that.

[GoAwayPanarin]

At least that one was a penalty

It must be baked into the franchises existence at some point, feels like they've run 11/7 for every game since Marc-Andre Bergeron was playing for them

 

[Boris Zubov]

Isles gifted a 5 on 3 & all they did was stand around.

 

[bl02]

I jinxed McDonagh saying he was having a good game

 

[Maximus]

Credit to the Islanders, they didn't just roll over and die tonight.

I get that but they are playing a severely handicapped Bolts team. If anything with no Point, the Islanders probably have the advantage.

They are, but a thrashing like they took the other night can work one of two ways with a team. They can either fall into a funk, or they can come out ready to give it a go.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Time of possession is now tracked? I've never seen this before.

 

[Maximus]

Vasilevsky is in god mode. He needs to win this game for the Bolts and thus far he's showing why he's the best goalie on the planet. He's been awesome thus far!

 

[Tob]

Save us Ryan Callahan

He hasn't really been tested.

Isles have generated close to nothing all night long outside of their BS goal that shouldn't have counted and that one lay up that Bailey airmailed.

He's doing about as much as he normally does in the playoffs.

Sorry Stallsie but from what I've seen of Vasilevsky he's been stellar and has made some huge saves

 

[Tob]

If the Islanders win the series, every writer and hockey management is going to be screaming size and physicality again

 

[Thirty One]

You hate to see it.

 

[Bob Richards]

LMFAO

 

[bl02]

ouch that hurts!
