After the past couple of years, it's Stanley Cup or bust!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
It's going to be really tough, but hey, it always is a challenge.

Your right, We didn't get the scorer we needed at the trade deadline nothing against the players acquired. But with our captain out we lost a lot of goals. We can't score more than 2 goals a game it seems. And with Valamov hurt that certainly doesn't help. I do like Sorokin though. The other 3 teams in our division are going to be tough series. I loved the Isles run last year I've been waiting decades for it. Not sure we get that close this year.

Down 2-1 into the 3rd.
Pittsburgh playing great defense.
Isles missed some real good opportunities.
Penguins just look better right now. That tipped goal by Crosby was ridiculous.
Need to get Barzal going...

Palmieri! OT winner top shelf!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
2 goals today for Palmieri. Not a bad game to start your Isles playoff career with.

Nothing better than OT scores in the playoffs.

This game gave me aperplexy. The ups and downs were like a nervous elevator. From early in the 2nd period this game had OT written all over it. But when we scored that 3rd goal I thought we broke them. That lasted for 31 seconds.
I was so pleasantly surprised at all the good scoring chances the Isles had. They made plays to achieve them. Sorokin played a hell of a game. Palmieri made me eat my words about a scorer at the trade deadline. Welcome aboard !
You know we swept them last year in the playoff series. The Penguins are a tough out. This series we need to win the OT games. There's probably going to be a number of them.
Go Isles ! Great Win. 1 Down 3 to go.

Best of five with home ice advantage now.

That was a tough loss.
Varlomov looked rusty early. That first goal was awful. He looks like he just lost the puck. A slow floater right above the glove from long range.
I was impressed how he played after the 1st period. The offense just couldn't get going. They had chances but Jarry played great down the stretch.
Series tied 1-1

Yea Jarry was hot had himself a terrific game. Valamov after a shakey start played great but the Isles were already in the hole.
The home ice will help as the home team gets the final matchup on the line change. This will/should help us vs the Crosby line.
Were going to need to score 3 or more goals a game to beat these guys. Keep hitting these guys we seem to be bigger than them. Our defenseman looked great to me. Letty and whoever that #3 is. Physical game.
Go Isles !

Ugh... another floater from the line goes in.
They need to step it up.
At least the place sounds like it's rocking.

Man... they are a day late and a dollar short. 2 games in a row a full step behind everything.
Sloppy passing, nothing connecting, ect.
Worst I have seen them look in a while.

The Isles are finally scoring here in the 3rd game and everytime they tie it up Pittsburgh scores within minutes to take the lead again.
If it's me I'm starting Sorokin in the 4th game. The Isles were hitting and it was effective. Loved the way the Isles kept coming back to tie the game. The Isles have been playing from behind the whole series. Lets take a 2-0 lead after the 1st and lay the wood to them. Things will open up and we'll score 3 more goals. Lets not give up early goals. Especially easy ones we can't afford it.
I had originally said the Isles need 3 goals to win, I fear we need at least 4 goals a game to win.
4th game a must win for Isles. Down 3 games to 1 going back to Pittsburgh with 2 of the final 3 games in Pittsburgh is too much to overcome.

They win the games they need to. They take control of games early. Their division is tough they seem to be so much stronger than Florida. It's been a physical and nasty series from what little I watched of it. Maybe only a period or 2 at a time. Watching the game on Saturday afternoon TB has things well in hand 6-2 lead with 11 minutes left in game.

Just irked they went so passive in the 3rd last game..this could have been a sweep And that has been the issue with this team under Cooper .. Going inexplicably into the doldrums for even a period that cost them a series Up 3-2 vs Washington in 2018 game 6... no show Game 7. No show.. That team should have won a cup Then looking like they wanted to go home after getting up 3-0 vs Columbus game 1 and then getting swept... It's almost like they sometimes don't want to play,this is a team that should have multiple cups and in a dynasty mode by now witb how much and deep their talent has been and a world class goalie Oh yeah it's a nasty series...1st time it's an all Florida series and looks line those old Rangers/Islander Nordique/Canadians turf war series
