All I can do is laugh... Crosby is good but 60 I'm what 20 some games in playoffs??? When he can't even pull that in the regular season against a bad Atlantic division. Crosby is one of the best current players in the NHL but seriously lol

Please off the top of your head name the Islanders D... And then name the islanders dman you would honestly want in our top 4??? Streit (old)... Hamonic... Yes but he is probably the only one... Vis, no thinks almost all isles fans were shredding him.  Then look at their goaltending, Nabby has always been a playoff choke artist and once again failed... There's a reason we wanted him as a backup and sharks didnt want him lol. Capuano can't coach to save his life and I'm sorry a team consisting of Crosby, Mallkn, Neal, Iginla. Kunitz, Letang, Fluery, Morrow. Took 6 games, 2 Ot's (which one was hand fed to the Pens) to bounce Tavares, and ummmm Moulson, okposo, Nielsen??? Lol

Ps... I hate myself for feeding the self proclaimed non troll unless he says tbh, tbqh and so on lol

Please keep up the pressure....

This was mentioned, but the fact that 5 rookies were on the ice is a coaching faux pas. This isn't the fab 5 we're talking about.

That rookie line also won us game 2 and 4... They have has all 5 rookies out there numerous times...

Our D has cost us another game that we played well enough to win. Has Smith had a single good game in the NHL? He's a waste of space might as well be playing for the ducks. But keep giving him to 4 minutes

Who else deserves it... Quincey? Lashoff? Our D hasn't been strong all season. We have 2-3 rookie D in a night and Kindl who is basically a rookie with the lack of minutes he played last season. It's called growing pains. We can't pull a random top 4 dman out of a hat. The only Way the kids learn how to play the game is by throwing them on the ice..

I know people were expecting smith to show up, throw up 30+ points and be decent in our own zone as well but I promise you. If we give up on him. We will regret it... Just like with kindl and big rig... Weird how after a couple season we start praising these guys... D develop later is a common thing. We don't have the luxury of drafting the Seth jones, PK subbans, mike greens...

3 things I liked:
Watching Nyquist's confidence and his overall game grow more and more.
I think Big E is really rounding into a very solid defenseman.
Jiri Hudler or Robert Lang didn't take any hooking penalties.

But Hudler and Lang are still lazy and suck...

We will win game 6!!! Abby will be back and the Guys will be flying at home.... Then game 7 is a coin flip... But it will go 7... I still have faith...


I'm sick of hearing that the series is over after EVERY loss... It's gets old

I don't care who, I don't care how. All I care about is that it ends up behind hiller.... I would love a quick game 1 routine

Look for a tight game with a flukey Detroit goal and Detroit winning in OT

I'd happily take a more lopsided victory though...

 

Please can we win one in regulation haha, my hair is already gray enough.

These anti Howard threads are getting old fast...

I'm not going to repeat what everyone said about how he is the reason we are in playoffs no matter how painfully obvious it is. Howard is our only goalie and if people honestly think Gus can steal us a playoff game this fan base is crazier then I thought.

You can't steal a game when your offen gives you no support, and your defense doesn't give you much support. We re down 2-1 in this series because in our two loses we have combined for 1 goal not because Howard can't stop the puck.

 
Who is blaming this game on Howard?

I don't know about blaming it but are saying her can't steal us a game (even though we didn't even score a goal)

I still laugh at the fact that people always point out Howard's contract. I'm sorry but in the NHL you get paid when your contract is up and around UFA time. Please name other goalies around the league that make less then him, have gone through UFA and haven't had a bad/terrible year in the past 3-4 years... There won't e many... Howard's numbers are close to top 10 in the league for his past 4 years

The goalies that are up there with him just have been paid yet (rask), had a bad year or so and got shipped to another team (Anderson) came out of the wood works out of no where (bobrosky). Yes is 5 million a hefty price to pay a goalie yes, but unless you want to deal with what Philly has been dealing with (and they still pay 5 million) I'm happy paying Howard what he deserves to make sure our goalie is solid for the next hand ful of years.

Where's the bs from the band wagoners now?????

Still the same series 1-1 baby back to the D!!!! Doesn't matter the damn score! Wooooo go home bailers and staybthere

4-1 or 5-4....

Doesn't make a damn difference!!!

Woooooooooo!

That last goal was Emmertons man. We have OT to fix this mistake. It doesn't matter if it was 4-1 or 5-4... A win is a win.... Go home with this series split.... Finish it right

#91 - Fedorov.... Wore it my entire career, except College. Regret not wearing it there but didn't want to wear that high of a number.

I want to know where NBC is going to put the Wings/Ducks game.  Directv just blacked it out on FoxD.  Damn them ALL!!!  And the Blues game is not over yet either.  SOMEBODY BETTER FIGURE THIS s*** OUT!

NHL NETWORK....
