How ironic. Hide until you win. Like all "real" Tampa fans across all their sports lol
God bless you for thinking otherwise.
Ill take the split in the first 2. Isles need to sharpen their swords though. Tampa came out like a bunch of goons after their coach called them to. They are nasty on the power play. I said it earlier, the Islanders can not get baited into penalties or they will lose.
Lightning are obviously the better team when the Isles are missing Lee, Wahlstrom and Boychuck. Losing all 3 of them hurts bad. They need to get another big game from Varlamov in game 3 to have a chance to win this series.

Don't be an A hole I said before this series started I was not going to be around the past few days and you can check around here that I didn't post at all I didn't see the game at all so 9 couldn't comment on it And I only had time to breathe only a few hours ago to even post about last night when I was actually there in person (mainly because my gf snuck across the border to hang and I hadn't seen her in over a month) And again I didn't see any of game one to comment on difference between the 2 games But from what people were saying they were a bit listless in game one and Cooer called them out on it There was no goonery at all,both sides were very chippy as can be expected in a playoff series that have 2 physical teams

Im not a big fan of Trotz complaining about the Lightning's 3rd goal when they had 6 skaters on the ice. I mean, it sucks and shouldn't have counted and he certainly is right, but the Isles also got gifted a PP on which they scored immediately too. The Isles still had to actually score their goal however after the fact, while the Lightning scored as the penalty occurred, so there is a slight difference, but still. Those were 2 bad calls.
Hopefully they can rebound tonight and stay out of the damn penalty box. They have to play physical tonight for 3 periods but smart.

Isles lose a tough one at home. Tampa is a faster team, their passing is crisp. We played them tough defensively we played good enough to win. Can't sustain any offense though the last half of the game we had nice momentum just couldn't put it in the net.
Well game #4 is now a must win.

How come a full capacity crowd doesn't have to wear masks. People right next to each other yelling. The players don't have to wear masks, but yet the coaches are made to wear masks.
The consessionaires, The announcers, the police, the maitenence people, nobody wearing masks.
It's ridicules that the coaches are wearing them. Then they take them off as their walking to the clubhouse between periods. LOL

Disclaimer Yes I was driving and trying to watch...my Verizon signal was iffy in Ontario so watching this game after the 1st goal was like in the 80s trying to watch an Islander or Mets game on Sportschannel scrambled and trying to interpret the game center stats as they happened Islanders had a chance early in the 3rd as Tanpa went into one of their sleepwalking sloppy phases (turnovers in their own end,ect) I thought for sure they were going to choke Tampa gives opposing teams a window it seems every few games like this and often it's where they lose games .. After about the 11 minute mark they broke out of those doldrums and played the way they do usually in the 3rd to close out a playoff game ... Tell you what Varlomov is very close to being a top 5 goalie in tbe league..that goalie academy in Moscow is churning out more talent these days than tbe one in Quebec used go (Rangers also have a guy from there) Like I said Tampa is very content playing low scoring defensive type games against teams that also play this style...especially on the road Interesting that the 2nd like (Stamkos,Kikorn)has been MIA this entire series... Kilorn is their clutch playoff scorer,he gets the big goals in big spots (reminds me a lot of Tonelli,always that back breaker) Palmeri seems to in my eyes the best player on tbe ice for NY,Vasilevsky has saved their assws for them against him so far

Vegas has no buisness losing to this team yet here we are with them down 2-1 I mean for the most part most cup winners often face a major "uh oh" moment (Rangers dow 3-2 to NJ and down 2-0 witb 6 minutes left in the 2nd game 6 in NJ couldn't be more "uh oh in 1994)
but Price is playing on a level that the all time greats have in playoff runs (Billy Smith and Patrick Roy in Colorado were the 2 goalies that carried their teams on their back on a cup run ..Smith in 1983 especially because that Islander team seemed ripe to go down a few times)
Huge game tonight

Way to give up Tampa ... If they choke this series away Cooper needs to be fired immediately.. Another year this team underachieves against a team they should not be losing a series to
Done for the night

God Almighty ! We almost give this one away and a spectacular play by both McDonugh of T.B. and Pullock of the Isles in the last second of the game.
WOW ! Give me a heart attack why don't you ? Pullock saved the series for us.
We haven't had the lead yet these playoffs at the end of the 1st period. We definitely own the 2nd period of almost every game. We have scored 4 goals in the first 3 games and 3 goals in the 2nd period tonight. The 3rd periods are a coronary on ice.
OK 2 out of 3 with only 1 game at home. Go get em Isles, Go get em ! In the history of the Islanders they have never lost a playoff game after leading 3-0. And a playoff team shouldn't. And we haven't.
I don't know if I can see any more games at least thru this series, I am really going to miss watching them. Am going to Tennessee for a week. Root them home for me guys. Root Them Home.

What a great play; this is terrific series. If you have a TV subscription for this, there should be an app you can use to get the games. I think they're on the NBC Sports app.

I didn't bother to watch the 3rd..apparently Tampa decided to show up in the 3rd.
That 2nd period was inexcusable for them,could cost them this series And Cooper has to go if it does

Wow.
Pullock...
That would have been a brutal goal to give up. Probably saved the series for the Isles for the time being.
Great game.
And then the ending to the Nets-Bucks game in OT.
Great night for intense playoff games.

You aren't doing yourself any favors about what I said earlier about Tampa "fans" gl. You are proving me right. That was a great ending you missed. Sure you were on the wrong side of it, but great game none the less. Series ties at 2. This is where we were last year. Time to rewrite the story in 2021. Go Isles

Go Isles Dude your not qualified to judge what kind of fan I am Because a mod is lurking in this thread I can't rip you to shreds like I should unfortunately I have gone to multiple games when I could every year since I moved there in 2002 even when they had lean years,and near sold out games even in down years prove my point this fan base is one of the leagues best...unlike your fan base that was MIA to tbe point they almost moved to Hartford and they called that building the mausoleum.. You are coming off like the condescending pompous idiot your fan base is famous for,which is why I put much of it in the same category as Dallas Cowhumper fans Hey I'm part of this great fanbase and Islander fans are awesome....I'm 30 miles south of Tampa and they were selling after market tickets for less than face value for games 1 and 2

Lightning fans are willing to wait even till midway through the 1st period of games The only teams that fans make money on are the Canadians and Maple Leafs (season ticket holders always sell their seats when those 2 teams come in,especially if it's in the winter.(it's litterally a Habs home game every time...and a lot of French being spoken ...very polite group I might add that actually sing our national anthem along with theirs out of respect)

I still can’t believe how the game ended!!! I wish I was there last night, but I’ll be there on Wednesday night… I just hope my anti-vaxxer friend tests negative again

I actually watch games down here from our corporate box and we have to either show a Vax card or get tested to sit in our box..
