Heart of a Champion sure thing EB ,,, but how about that saying about the wolf on the hill not being as hungry as those wolves climbing that hill yada yada ... we got a few good teams that are very cup starved wouldn’t you say ... anyways we shall find out soon enough as we are approaching the business end of the playoffs....

If the Islanders get through the Bruins do you think they got it in them to come up with that “ tremendous “ effort as you put it ? ... this Cassidy guy thinks the Islanders have got the zebras on their side ... maybe that can tilt the balance a bit

COL is now in big trouble...and playing the 6th game in VEGAS will b big challenge...... Yes i picked COL all the way...BUT back then the HABS were not in the cards .....woud b amazing to watch HABS and ex-NORDIQUES.....and AVS wearing----as they did during the season---the NORDIQUES jersey when playing in Montréal....wow..

and it would b great also to watch PRICE playing FLEURY and MAX..,,..in this case would b easier for me to fav. MONTREAL.

Can we be seeing this again, this time in Long Island? NYI has Trotz, and Boston doesn't!!!!!!!!!

Yeah!...and that scmuck Bettman - or should I say Buttman - has his fuckin' shnoz so far up the NY Islanders ass that the shit is coming out of his own ass!
Buttman is obviously pro-NY since the schmuck is from NY City!...Buttman obviously fixed the 2020 draft lottery that was "given" to the pussy NY Rangers!...so now he has an alibi if he can do whatever it takes to make the NY Islangers NHL Stanley Cup champs!...

But like the old axiom, "what comes around, goes around!"

Sharkman,

I look at the NY Islanders and I think they are quite arguably the least talented team overall that is left in the playoffs, possibly even including Montreal. The reason they are good is they are well coached and do the little things well, not because they are talented. Boston, TB, Colorado, Vegas, are all more talented than NYI, and Montreal is possibly as well.

 

[sharkman]

Not a lot of people here or in the playoff prediction thread have picked TB to repeat.........but I say......never underestimate the heart of a champion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course Buttman is going to to his utmost to keep the Stanley Cup from coming back to Canada!...Canada should consider to keep the border shut for a much longer period of time just to keep you Yankees high and dry!...then you can go complain to Buttman, RIP Eipstein and Biden!

 

[Cap'tain Fantastic]

Boston behind 1-4 with 20 minutes left! Going to watch the 3rd, nothing better than witnessing the Bruins getting their ass kicked!

 

[EagerBeaver]

It has to be upsetting to the Bruins that they are going down in flames to a team that is less talented, but that is what is happening. They have been badly outcoached, out-goalied and out-played by NYI. Bettman had nothing to do with this outcome, but Trotz did.

***BYE BYE BRUINS***

 

[Cap'tain Fantastic]

Of course its Trotz, and he's not done yet!

 

[sharkman]

... Bettman had nothing to do with this outcome, but Trotz did.

Don't think you understood fuck all, I am inferring that Bettman has his shnoz up the NY teams' asses and that he's playing favoritism!

Same situation in the NBA where that other scmuck from Long Island Adam Silver is directing trades and signings to the Brooklyn Nets and eventually the Knicks!

 

[EagerBeaver]

The NYI has no high priced free agents on their team, in fact the only one like that they had in the last 10 years, John Tavares, left NYC and signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Since Tavares left the NYI, they actually got better. That doesn't usually happen with a franchise player.

 

[gaby]

well.,.bye bye MARCHAND--BERGERON PASTRNAK....décevant mais une autre preuve que les équipes qui ne reposent que sur 2-3- superstars ne vont pas loin en série.....après les OILERS et les LEAFS maintenant les BRUINS vont jouer au golf...

Les équipes avec de la profondeur, un bon gardien, un coach éveillé et un esprit d'équipe solide vont toujours causer des surprises dans les playoffs.....let's see if tonight VEGAS--COL the same pattern--la même recette will prevail.....

 

[EagerBeaver]

Trotz has won 5 playoff series since leaving the Caps for the Islanders; since Trotz left, the Capitals have won 0 playoff series:

Barry Trotz has now won five playoff series with the Islanders since leaving the Capitals. Washington has won zero.

On the three-year anniversary of the Capitals swimming in fountains, former Caps' head coach Barry Trotz advanced to the 2021 Eastern Conference…

If Barry had been behind the Leafs bench they would have won a cup already...... the man is a very good coach and is tough as nails .... below is a clip of him taking a puck to the head and he didn’t even bat an eyelid ... rumours circulating that the puck was split in half upon impact ..... Tampa Bay better be ready

 

[EagerBeaver]

It's the battle of the Russian goalies today and the best Russian goalie win - but I hope it's Varlamov!

Best Russian Goalie today was:

NY Rangers hire Gerard Gallant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rangers hire Gallant as new coach, source says

The New York Rangers have an agreement to make Gerard Gallant their new head coach, a source confirmed to ESPN.

[gaby]

Great....good news.....i will now become a fan .....lolllll......GALLANT can't have a better challenge...

 

[No_Church_InThe_Wild]

Great hire for the NYRangers ... I’m pretty sure they will become a contender soon

looking forward to the beginning of the series tonight...Vegas a favourite although anything can happen ... but it’s always easier to upset a heavy favourite in the first rounds of the playoffs...once a team like the Habs comes back from the dead like they did with the Leafs and then sweeps their next opponent then the league takes notice ... they now know they are dangerous and can do plenty of damage and will play them differently....

 

[gaby]

VEGAS - in their Circus--played a perfect game....tous leurs défenseurs ont performé....puissants , habiles et rapides...et FLEURY again did very well......MAIS les HABS peuvent s'ajuster ----l'ont déjà fait---et rebondir ....doivent mettre MARC-ANDRÉ sous pression continuellement....et oui il est humain et peut être vulnérable avec du trafic constant dans sa zone ,
