Very pleased with the win at what could prove to be the Isles' final game at the Coliseum, but I wouldn't mind another win tonight to prolong our run of matches there, even if that could mean being eliminated by the Rangers in the next round, I'll take it! |
I'd love to see the Isles play the Rangers, that one could get nasty before all is said and done. Good to see the Islanders on the right track after all these years, the future looks bright. And I like the leadership and passion that Tavares has shown.

The Isles winning it at the Coliseum would be an amazing addition to history, perhaps too amazing to happen in real life though... As cool as it would be... that would ruin my bracket!
Nice to see some other hockey fans, they are somewhat hard to find.
A little late to the party, but here were my predictions, doing alright so far.
East:
Montréal in 5
Tampa Bay in 6
NY Rangers in 5
Washington in 7
West :
St. Louis in 6
Chicago in 6
Anaheim in 5
Calgary in 6
Semi : Chicago in 6 Anaheim in 6 Montréal in 6 NY Rangers in 5
Conference: Chicago in 7 Montréal in 7
Final : Chicago in 6
Not a Hawks fan but my team (sharks) didn't make it for the first time in a decade, so all these picks are pretty much unbiased.

Islanders gave it a good run...but as a Rangers fan I am most relieved!
One more game 7 to go...who can predict this bizarre series?

Tampa outplayed them hard in the last 10 minutes of that game, and now Tampa having home advantage I hope they can close it out.
Mrazek had an insane game and made many huge saves, and the Wings just didn't come back...
Stamkos hasn't scored so he's due, I'm hoping Tampa can close this out.

My whole bracket got screwed up because I had hopes that a Jets-Hawks final would happen.

I still have to go with my dark horse(Minnesota) over Chicago. I picked Tampa, New York and Anaheim. Man Washington looks pretty good and i'd be surprised if it didn't go seven games. Same with Tampa and Montreal another toss up in my opinion. Calgary just doesn't quit but I hope the Ducks kick their ass. I haven't liked Calgary since the late eighties when they took out Montreal to win the cup., plus I don't like Burke at all.

The first 2 lines are doing nothing, the black aces will have to rise again or...let's hope Carey Price will score a couple of goals then maybe the Habs will win at least one game.  Call back Bournival!!!

Habs not showing a lot of the type of character that wins games - they have been pretty poor since game 4 against Ottawa. 4 losses out of 5. The only good game they played in that stretch was Game 1 against Tampa. They have no ability to finish even the most gilt edged scoring opportunities, and their "system" is predicated on winning 1-0 or 2-1. As soon as the opponent gets a 2 goal lead it's over. And last game it was over as soon as Tampa tied it with 30 secs left in the first period. They never looked good after that. Very disappointed

Yeah, it's obvious right now that this team needs a captain on the ice. I can't say I'm disappointed, though, as I wasn't expecting much from them this year. Honestly, it's a pretty average team overall and they're lucky to have the best goalie on the planet. We'll see tonight who'll show up.

he's the best goalie on the planet during the regular season, just as the team is one of the top teams in the regular season. In playoffs, both show themselves to be illusions. When you go head to head against your mortal enemy over and over, and the pressure is on, he has yet to consistently deliver. The winner in game 1 was stoppable and the first 2 goals in game 2 were stoppable, especially looking at what Bishop was stopping.

 Makes that goal called non-goal irrelevant.  Great game indeed. Hopefully they can use it to jettison up the guts to make this one a series. (And ideally take out the Ducks, but I'm not counting on that one)
