Jacksoni 418 Report post Posted April 26, 2016 Tampa got this I think. Unless one of their key players, not counting Stamkos goes down. I'm thinking Bishop, Hedman, Kucherov or midget Tyler Johnson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted April 26, 2016 I can't root for a team that has the ugliest building in hockey history to watch on TV. I want the Islanders (or that Jeep) out of the playoffs ASAP. 1 Jacksoni reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted April 26, 2016 Is it me, or does anyone else find it strange that the Eastern Conference is beginning round 2 of the playoffs when in fact there's game 7 to be played tomorrow night between the Preds/Ducks? I understand much of this has to do with availability of the arenas, and such... Someone mentioned this last night, but I remember this happening before. Maybe I was thinking of the NBA?

I understand much of this has to do with availability of the arenas, and such... Was just about to ask about this. I didn't expect this series to begin what feels like immediately. Almost like a back-to-back for the Islanders. Anyone know why? Edited April 26, 2016 by Jacksoni Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DatsyukianDekes 2,428 Report post Posted April 26, 2016 Don't care for who wins this series. Washington or Pittsburgh will take either of them out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Rick D and NerveDamage reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the Pistons had avoided a sweep by the Cavaliers, it would have conflicted with a Bieber concert in Cleveland scheduled for the same day Game 5 would have been played.

Jacksoni 418 Report post Posted April 27, 2016 NY Islanders grind lines wreaking havoc on Tampa Bay. 1-3 Islanders at the end of the 1st. Beautiful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plopster 136 Report post Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) Told ya the lightning had nothing for the islanders. They barely beat detroit in all but one of their 4 wins. Because Detroit blew chunks on both sides of the special teams. The islanders, sadly, and this is hard to accept as I type it, are a better team than the wings at this point in the season. In fact Im pretty sure this is the first time I have seen the islanders play this well the entire time I have been watching hockey during my life. Damn that salary cap.

Firehawk 305 Report post Posted April 28, 2016 It just goes to show how bad the wings are that the islanders are just handling tampa. So disappointing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plopster 136 Report post Posted April 28, 2016 Exactly. That's my point. That's how far off the wings are. Not the islanders are that good, but Tampa wasn't that good either and they are being exposed by a talented team without stamkos. New York will get smoked by either Washington or pens. Which is why caps must beat the pens. It's like in the nfl. I'm a steelers fan, but i knew they wouldn't beat the pats. So I had to root for the Broncos to beat my team so the team I hate more doesn't win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
