Sorry not sorry that my new home team has become a hockey powerhouse the past 20 something years I have lived down here the past 15ish years. Biggest fair weather fan bases in all of sports unless it's college football, monster truck rallies or fishing/hunting. Tampa has always supported the team Still holds thr record for largest attendance for an NHL game (game 1 vs Flyers at the old Thunderdome in 1997 with 30K) Even the somewhat lean years their building has been filled.. Now the Panthers..yeah that's a different story |

The football fans are a completely different story it seems...especially after how they were in the NFC championship game 3 years into their existence Definitely seems it's Gators on Saturday and Nascar on Sundays around here..then theu see where the Bucs are once NASCAR season is over |

The Isles played just the way I was hoping. My previous thread on here somewhere after the 3rd game.
I wanted Sorokin to play goal. As a matter of fact if it was me I would play him the rest of this series.
I said the Isles needed to start strong. Not fall behind early. And I even stated that if they could open up a 2-0 lead what a different game it would be.
The isles played great the Nassau crowd showed up and was loud and the isles played off that momentum. It was like the old days. The NY Jets were there in Islander gear yelling and cheering. Well now there's at least one more game at the Coliseum on Wednesday.
Damn the Isles looked good today. Pittsburgh will come at us like all hell broke loose on Monday night. Buckle up that chin strap.

Watching this marathon multi OT game in Nashville..2nd one in 2 days
Nevermind Nashville just ended it
But you had better have 4 good lines come playoff time because if you don't and the other team can you will get fatigued and shot ..

Oh and by far the best post goal chant by the home crowd
It actually starts with the crowd thanking the goalie by name and can tvey have another

I would assume you want Nashville to win and T.B. plays them next rd. Carolina is the stronger team. Ashame about those injuries. Tampa has to make amends for that cheap shot. If not in these playoffs now cause their shorthanded. Next season the first time they play Florida. They need to take Florida's top line down over and over in that first game next year. Or take their best player this series next game tomorrow. This series is too nasty, street rules must apply. |

I was watching that game as well. Boston leading Washington 3 games to 1 is a lot for the Caps to overcome. Those top 4 teams in the East remind me of the NFC East. It's a free for all. |

Boston just scored as I'm talking to you. 3rd goal for a 3-1 lead in 3rd period with 7:27 left in game. Left in series. This series is gonna haunt Washington all summer. |

Guys it's 6:40 Monday night, the pivotal 5th game starts in 20 minutes. My juices are starting to flow. This should be the most physical game of the series.

I dont know how it's not 10-1 Pittsburgh right now.
Their offense is relentless. Non stop aggressiveness. Some incredible saves by Sorokin.
They are definitely playing harder than our guys. 2 different speeds IMO.
Down 2-1 into the third.
Gotta step up.

Only down 1 goal going into the 3rd period. We could still steal this game. the next goal is pivotal. |

Yes! Yes! Yes!
Double OT Josh Bailey!
Glad I stayed up for that one!
Wow. Sorokin gets the BIG W for me. His goalie play tonight was phenomenal. Saved the game.
What was Jarry doing?!?

Sorokin was a magician. 48 saves ! Don't think Jarry seen Bailey. They lost on a brain fart. Had his glove down again. 90% of Islander goals this series are high on his glove side. Pittsburgh outplayed us the whole game. They still had their legs. They were beating us at our own game knocking people around and forechecking. We were slow tonight. No legs we looked tired. Sorokin was unbelievable. |

Pittsburgh outplayed us Monday. They played great, they were the better team. They can't play any better than they did. They look like the stronger team.
And they still didn't win ! And at Home !
We take them out Wednesday night. The Colosseum should be rockin. We got them down after that magnificent performance by Sorokin. We can't let them off the hook, we got em staggerin.
Might give Valamov the start game 6 at home. Not sure if I start Sorokin as hot as he is after that game Monday night. Might give him an extra 2 days to rest. He starts the next game. Game 7 of this series or Game 1 vs Boston.
But I'm leaning toward Sorokin to play the rest of this series 1 game or 2. He hasn't lost to Pittsburgh this series. So far in his NHL career he's 3-0 in the playoffs.
Valamov can open vs Boston or play game 2.

Damn, why does the NBA need so many days off between their games? Should be every other night like the NHL. Knicks are lined up to play tonight and overlap the Isles game.

Sorokin is the hot Goalie you have to go with him....He was outstanding in game 5 no way we win that game without his stout goaltending |
