Yeah but we had the fastest 4 goals scored on us in NHL playoff history.
Maybe it was like a Weekend at Bernie's type situation though.

I’ve never seen ref blaming like this.
Especially the whole fix-being-in aspect. For the team in Raleigh. Raleigh North Carolina. Where the media market is *redacted*

I've been saying it and imma keep saying it:
This team wins because talented players commit 100% to the game that Rod wants them to play. It's not always flashy, but when they commit to it, they are a nightmare to play against.
Keep it going. This team has every bit as good a chance as any other team. Just keep it going.

Damn that was frustrating. If only the Canes had matched the Isles goonery I really believe they could have wo . . . unh, never mind.

There are two goalies behind him that are also good enough to win.

Couldn't be more impressed with how they handled that game with the way the Isles were blasting them all over the place. It was not looking good until that first PP goal. But if they are going to be able to score on the PP perhaps teams will think twice about brutalizing them.
But I am still concerned about the sustainability throughout the playoffs when your star players are getting mauled without fear of retribution- that is a lot of games to take that kind of punishment.
Loved the delta between how loud that place was in the beginning of the game vs when it became 3-0.

I thought it was nice that they were cheering for Burns by the second intermission.

Hot take: "Fear of retribution" is a myth made up by fans that can't deal with their own anger issues.

Asinine & immoral
If Drury is out I hope we don’t see Stepan back in. Would much rather have some more youth and excitement from a debuting player like Rees.

LOL, Okay you keep on with that when Trouba takes somebodies head off again next round. "Oh, what is clearly happening in front of our face isn't actually happening"
Like Tripp and his pathetic delusions at the end "THIS ISN'T PLAYOFF HOCKEY!!"
Yes, it clearly is because it happens every year in the playoffs. We live in the world the way it is- not the world you think it should be.

The point is that Trouba is gonna take someone's head off because that's what he's gonna do, and there is no "fear of retribution" that will stop it, because that's the game and everyone knows it.
Now, you can choose to go out there and try to hurt their guys, and maybe that's even the right strategy, but that's not creating "fear of retribution" because that's not really a thing for these guys. It's a thing that fans made up.
It's a sport for tough f***ing guys, and some of those guys get hurt, and that's it.

Mark Lazerus just posted an article on the Athletic that I can’t post in its entirety, but here’s the opening:
The Stanley Cup playoffs are like some sort of magic totem in a fantasy epic. They test you, they reveal your character, they teach you about yourself.
But more than anything, they amplify what you already are, and always have been, deep down. Great players become legends. Leaders become icons. Gritty players become warriors. Overrated players become frauds. Dirty players become pariahs. Overmatched players become former NHLers.
There’s no escaping the cold and often cruel judgment of the postseason.
So what have we learned about these New York Islanders, who now trail the Carolina Hurricanes 3-1 in their first-round series after a miserable 5-2 loss on home ice Sunday afternoon? Well, we’ve learned their power play is an abomination unto Lord Stanley, a grotesquerie, a hideous abstract painting of hockey, minus the artistry. We’ve learned that Bo Horvat apparently got stuck in traffic on the way to all four games and didn’t arrive until he popped in for a meaningless shorthanded goal with 2:03 to play. We’ve learned that Ilya Sorokin can’t do it all by himself, even if it so often seems like he can.
But the biggest lesson from this game and this series?
Well, to paraphrase the great and troubled witticist Oscar Levant, there’s a fine line between hard-to-play-against and flat-out dumb, and the Islanders have erased that line.
