The best goalie in the league vs. the overpaid wannabe. Can't wait for that sorry ass team to lose and go back to their mediocre ways just like last year's Dallas.

Ah well. Barry did very well to get his team within a win of the Finals. Job well done by a great coach. Feel bad for Trotz but at least arrogant Islander fans are unhappy. :D

Sucks the cheating Blightening won, though. Hopefully the Habs will complete their Cinderella story by winning the Cup.

Go Habs go!

People threw all their noisemakers on the ice lol

Don't get why you would do that, 1) you could hurt someone 2) don't you want to take it home and display it
It's the Island. The fans are heathens. Just another reason that franchise must never win anything.

The better team won the series. The Trotzes put up a good fight but I think structure and discipline can take you only so far when you don’t have the high end offensive talent to mitigate the “hope to win 1-0 with a double deflection point shot going in off a shin guard while being outshot 40-18” game plan.

I mean, Trotz had Leo Komarov riding shotgun with Matt Barzal. That’s either a horrible coaching decision or a big time roster deficiency, or both. The Islanders should really be targeting a sniper or two this off-season. And I thought JGP was really pedestrian for far too much of the series — maybe he was hurt?

TBay was the much better team. A lot more talented. By far.

Trotz did his best with what he had. He excells at taking average teams and making them punch above their weight.

They also really missed Anders Lee. He could have been a difference maker.

Anyway, hoping the Blightening crash and burn in the Finals. Go Habs go!

His usual warm up before the meltdown. This year he's just slightly off schedule

so bold of you to pick the Tampa Bay Lightning to light up Price.

I'm sure you've done the same for the last 3 round.

You know that's not the same.

I get that the talking about Trotz is none stop here but you can at least recognize the impact Trotz had on the Caps and how it lead to our greatest 4 year stretch ever.
Nobody here is not recognizing what Trotz did for us… just many of us are tired of the same conversation three years later. Trotz came, Trotz saw, Trotz conquered, Trotz left.

Put another way: I very much appreciate Trotz for what he did and I very much do not give a shit about what he’s doing now.
