Well I'm glad someone quoted that so I could enjoy it. I'm sure YOU are a big fan. But the fan base of Tampa sports in general is bottom of the heap. I'm glad you enjoyed it and your reply pretty much reinforce what I think of you Notice tbe radio silence when I brought up how your team almost moved to Hartford because of indifference.... Radio silence? OK. I actually used to enjoy the days of the Whalers. And don't get it construed, I never once said the Isles have a massive fan base. They are the only pro sports team on LI for a reason. I know it's very limited. I rather enjoy it. It's not the Giants or Yankees. Tampa fan bases are awful for an actual city. Bottom of the barrel level support for pro teams. That was the whole point I brought up earlier. Florida in general is like that.

Awful officiating in this game Lets let the players mug one another and have players guess what they can get away with them escalate

The league should be embarrassed by the officiating...or lack of,last night Hell all 4 teams left their fans have a legitimate gripe about the officiating in these series as a whole Unfortunate because up until these 2 series the officiating for the past 2 or so years has probably been the most consistent and best out of tbe 4 major sports So far it hasn't cost any team......yet... I understand that maybe the league has sent a memo out to let things go a bit,but when a virtual fist fight breaks out in front of 2 refs next to the goal while playing is happening at the opposite end of the ice and all that's done is its broken up and they are told to not do it again,embarrassing
And because I have to tell a certain unamed moron my whereabouts because my random will be questioned if I'm not participating in this thread I'm going to be on a plane to Dubai tonight so I'm not only going to .it's the game but not be able to comment if Tampa chokes again tonight......(because I have a life )

That flight sucked...got at most a 2 hour nap..luckily its 6:05 PM here so I'm about to crash for 10 hours
So WTF happened,did NY miss the plane ? Guess there really isn't anything to talk about as i watched the recap and that is all I need to know how it went.
Going to be interesting how NY responds on Wed.

What a great game. Man, Barzal is some player.
Brutal giveaway in front of the net ends it. Game 7!
Great stuff.

Great win in OT.
All comes down to one game.
Glad to see them bounce back after that brutal loss in game 5.
I heard the Lightning are undefeated after a loss though this playoff run. Something like 7-0. 2-0 in this series.
Wont be easy.
Go Isles.

Textbook example on how to give away a series you were in control of Self inflicted wounds cost this team on a regularbasis I've seen this movie before with Tampa,it never ends well
Should be interesting
On another note this shoot I was flown out here has been a complete disaster The person who flew all of us out here is in panic mode because the ENTITE wardrobe line we were supposed to shoot never arrived (she lives in Dubai)and might not get there till later today W2 all fly out Saturday
Heat isn't any worse than Vegas this time of year but seemingly more suffocating at night
I'll combine all of this in one post but I'm assuming tbe TSA style of molesting pitchsrs is going well ?

I’d share photos from the game, but Photobucket’s new format is confusing and I don’t know how to share.

I'm having a hard time understanding how a team can look so superior in basic puck handling in one game, then look rather flat and outmatched in the next. There is certainly enough time between periods to sort things out.

Welcome to my world as a fan of this team They probably have had the most talented team in the league since 2015 and only one cup to show for it last year It's like they decide to stop playing for stretches of games and it costs them series And bow probably without Kucherov it's not looking good at all It's 100% coaching I repeat if they choke this series away Cooper has to go Speaking of choke jobs,Vegas .. Honestly also I don't want to face Montreal with how well Price is playing..

Watched the last 5 minutes tick down on my game cast on my phone (pure torture )
WTF did they play the entire 3rd period in the neutral zone?
Looking at the stats seems like Varlomov stood on his head to even keep it close
Did Kucherov play?
Great series..
Vasilevsky vs Price
Off to a beach shoot at 7am Dubai time (90 degrees)

Great series. Good for hockey.

Well that sucked.
They did better than I thought they would in the playoffs given the injuries (Lee, Boychuck, Wahlstrom) but still sucks.
Oh well

Now Isles fans know the pain us Rangers fans endured in the early and mid 2010’s.
Tough series. You got a great coach.

I just got back missed the last 3 games. Seen the OT goal in game 6. What a terrible pass by Tampa. I was the only person cheering in the restaurant / bar in Nashville. Just seen the score of the 8-0 in game 5. That must have been a tough one to sit through.
Only seen the score of the last game on a scroll at the bottom of the screen. The last I seen was 1-0 with about 10 minutes left in the game.
What a tough series. We took the best team in hockey to game 7 right to the end. Tampa beats Montreal hot goalie or not imo.
We need that big scorer somehow during the off season and we win the cup next year. Similar to when Bossy was brought up to the championship Islander teams of decades ago. With a big scorer and the return of Lee we'll be ready immediately.

Seems everyone is not respecting Montreal here (not here but media) Just like they did vs Vegas.
We just saw how Tampa while the better team still played long stretches of games completely inept in their own end and costing them games
And Price has been unbelievable,playing like someone who thinks he will never get this shot ever again
If Tampa plays tbe way they did games 5 and 7 they can't be beat.
