This Isles game going into the 3rd period is as physical a game as the Isles have played in these playoffs. The crowd has been great. Boy do we need this one.
Talk later 3rd period starting.

Glad to see the Lightning show up midway through the 2nd They will nor repeat if they continue to take periods off like this Finish them on Tuesday and rest up Tampa wins the shootout 6-4, 10 goals Wow ! 8 goals in the 2nd period, again Wow ! But now they have a strangle hold on a very good team 3-1. Their not going to lose 3 games in a row. That division their in has 3 of the top teams and they faced both of them in these first 2 rounds and look pretty damn tough to beat. If you ask me today I would think Tampa and Colorado in the finals. Just frustrating the lapses this team has where they look completely disinterested.

What a satisfying win. This was one physically tough game. Everybody is sore after this one.
It keeps us alive and now is a 2 out of 3 series.
Barzal has come alive and boy do we need him. Too many hero's this game to name everybody. When we forecheck like this were on a different level. I knew the crowd would spur them on. You can't help but to get pumped.
We better rest up that Boston Garden is going to be loud and hungry for a victory on Tuesday. They certainly don't want to be down 3-2 and have the Isles a chance to win it in game 6 at home.

Much needed game there.
Islanders hanging tough.
Varlamov with another gem.
Barzal looks to have woken up. Him and Beauvillier are electric when they get going.
Pasternaks missed empty netter cost the Bruins last night dearly.

Vegas is going to beat Colorado Fleury >Greubour... Greubour spends way too much time on the ice to be a cup winning goalie Fatal flaw At least 2 times tonight was down needlessly and was burned

Greubour spends way too much time on the ice to be a cup winning goalie Fatal flaw At least 2 times tonight was down needlessly and was burned These 2 teams fought for 1st place in their division all year. Colorado has never really been tested this year. they seem to win easily. Their not use to be playing from behind. They'll be tough next game back in Denver. Don't know if altitude affects players inside ? Vegas dug deep to come back down 2 games to none. I had it wrong I believe the winner here plays T.B. - Carolina winner. Hmmmm If it's Tampa vs Colorado it should be a beauty. Vegas also for that matter. I think whoever wins Isles vs Boston beats Montreal.

Oh Ok that's what I thought in the first place. But last night on the hockey channel I must have misheard one of the talking heads say he thinks it will be Tampa was waiting in the wings. I thought he was talking about the Col- Vegas winner for the that's the game we were watching. Thanks Big A, got it now.

Lightning/Canes vs Bruins/Islanders Montreal is going to get crushed by the Vegas/Avalanche winner unfortunately Again it's Carey Price carrying a meh team on his back..

Difference between Boston and NY Boston is basically a 1 elite line and elite goalie team
Islanders are kinda balanced between all 4 lines but not really a major difference maker...
1 great line and a goalie has occasionally carried a team to a cup...see Penguins with Crosby and Malkin....
More often than not someone cancels that line out and then it's average vs average..
A team like Tanpa has goal scorers on their top 3 lines and their 4th line as a whole is above average Same with Vegas in a way (though no top like that can match Tampa firepower wise ..the only team that can is Colorado
Will be interesting

Almost missed beginning of game 5 that 6:30 start I was just putting the game on to listen to the pre game crap and low and behold i was watching a hockey game.
Damn Bruins always score first and early. Isles always have to fight from behind. the Isles were lucky the score wasn't 3-0 in the first 5 minutes.
The power play goal in the last minute of the first by Barzal was the only positive play in the 1st period. But the Isles weathered that 1st period attack by Boston. This 2nd period is gonna be for control of this game.
C.mon Islanders. hit em hard and hit em often. Put those rebounds in the net.

Yes! Yes! Yes! 1 more game! Go get it in the Barn! Big A were you white knuckleing it the last half of that 3rd period ? I was. We needed everyone of those 5 goals. Valamov's stats might not look that impressive allowing 4 goals, but he was great he had 40 something saves and a lot from point blank range. The Bruins have found something shooting from the right face off circle in the Isles end. We need to take them out back on Long Island at the Coliseum.

Was that great or what? Totally out played but not out coached... Got to love it WE get only 1 shot on goal during a PP and we get a goal. 3 PP's and 3 goals, unbelievable. I was complaining about our PP just last game. I should complain about it more often. roundabout we got to take them out game 6. Were going to see that Bergeron, Marchand, Pasterneck line with McAvoy every other shift. And bergeron takes every faceoff. Cisekis holds his own against him winning those faceoffs. ( Pardon my spelling of names )

We need to somehow be more aggressive on offense and not lose anything on defense. No hockey coach has figured that out yet. HaHa, lol. I do think we need to come up with some type of scorer next year, plus getting back Anders Lee will help. Back in the Isles hey day when they got Bossy the team went to the next level winning the 4 consecutive cups. But enough about next year for now, we haven't won this series yet. Boston is coming out like a wounded Rhino. Their Bergeron line alone should take 25 shots at Valamov. McAvoy is probably on the ice for 40 minutes out of 60. They will be hitting everything that moves.

The Bergeron line and McAvoy won't come off the ice. It would be nice to keep a lead on these guys and not give up a early goal. God this Isles team has heart. Boston too. What a series. Let's take these bastards out !

Lousy seats in the corner three rows from the roof, but at least I'll be in the Barn which will be a zoo when the puck drops!!

It didn't seem difficult to get regular season tickets, I preferred to sit behind the goal and watch Billy Smith at work.

Lightning halfway home Tell you what This is what,3 straight series they clinched with a shut out When they are on like this they can't be beat They actually play a defensive style neutral zone strangle type system,think uts a left wing lock as Cooper has Detroit ties... All their attack is on counter attacks...notice when they are on they rarely give up goals on the rush? Their issue is when teams dump it in and stay in their zone a bit,they sometimes get undisciplined...

Come on Bolts 1 more period and yall advance They're in control. The Canes goalie must have saved 3-4 wide open shots early in the 3rd period. Oh it's over the Lightning won, now they have to wait and see who they play. looks like last year to me. They've been in charge of both series.

Bruins playing the sloppiest they played all series in that 2nd period. Part of that though was due to the constant pressure the Isles were putting on them. Love this teams determination right now. Keep it up. We dont need another Game 5 3rd period again eating nails. Time to finish these Bitches from Beantown. Lets get an early easy goal to open the 3rd so I can relax a bit!
