Another come back to tie it late, and another OT loss. Painful. Too many mistakes not clearing the puck out.
Have to get game 6 tomorrow.
I dont see how this team can beat TB, but they showed me they can end Phillys season.

Tough loss after another late comeback. That's twice now this series the Flyers beat us in OT. Both their wins. If it's me I come back with Griese in game 6 and Valamov in game 7. (pardon my spelling) I have confidence in both goalies. Barzel left game 5 with an injury hope he's ok, that would be a major loss.
The Isles seem to own the 2nd half of the games just need to hold our own in first half instead of coming from behind.
I also don't know if they can beat T.B. but they can certainly beat Philly. Go Isles will be watching game 6. Only missed the first game vs Washington.

Another tough loss in OT. We should have won this one. Outplayed them, outhustled them, and boy oh boy outshot them. But once again (3rd time) didn't outscore them in OT. Varmalov didn't look bad could have played better but he needs to have a real good game tonight in game 7. Of course.
We can't be careless with the puck in our end. This game should be like an old time Islander-Flyer game. I love the way the Isles forecheck. 7pm tonight I will be watching and rooting this team home. Go Isles !

I would go with Greiss tonight Varmolov wasn't really that sharp in game 6 in which we should've one

Griess first playoff shutout. The Isles just dominated they played great. 4-0 win one of the goals an open netter but a just a dominating performance.
Griess was a lot more solid even though the Isles defense held Phillly to 19 shots I believe it was. Varmalov was shakey in game 6.
Monday night I believe game 1 vs T.B. I think Griess deserves the start. Boy this team looks tough.

This series is over...
No way do you win 4 out of the next 5, after losing the way they did tonight.

This series is over... No way do you win 4 out of the next 5, after losing the way they did tonight. That was way worse than the way Game 1 came down. More than any other sport, hockey teams rebound from improbable circumstances pretty frequently. If they lose Game 3 I would agree, but we will see.

It was a great ride, but TB is just too much. I still have hope unless they lose game 3. They had so many opportunites to put it in the net in game 2 and missed. Not due to the Lightning, but just misfiring. Open nets.
Must win time.

Not due to the Lightning, but just misfiring. Open nets. Must win time. I didn’t see that. What made the loss tough was they played well enough to win easily. Misfortune and overmatched are 2 separate things. I actually expect an Isles win in Game 3.

Lightning are the best team in the league, and the Isles went toe to toe with them. Im proud of my Isles even though losing is for losers.
The biggest takeaway from the past 2 years is Barry Trotz is the real deal. The Isles were awful and just traded their superstar when he came in. Took them to the Semi's last year, to the Conf finals this year. Next year, its time for the cup. He got these guys overachieving and thats what it is all about. Its a solid very young team.
This latest Yankee surge couldnt have come at a better time. Switching focus.
See ya next year Isles!
