Inspired by @jahnyc Zep: Achilles Last Stand

Yeesh - looked like my Isles were headed for another loss, instead they set a record for quickest 4 goals in Stanley Cup playoff history.

@ExiledInIllinois File this one under ambiguous. For the record I always thought Bow Wow's "I Want Candy" was referring to men in general. On the other hand I think Tuesday refers to a woman not the day of the week.

Not too many layups 22 pages in, I feel shame that I never thought of Layla.

Just saw a crazy stat: Isles have played 23 straight playoff games without having a lead after the first period. That's gotta include at least one or two series wins.

Unless I'm mistaken this is the Devils first trip to the playoffs in awhile. It doesn't surprise me when a team gets over-whelmed in their first playoff appearance and that may be happening to the Devils. Doesn't happen to every team - Vegas pretty much blew that up their first year in the league. But it doesn't bode well for the Devils that they got over-whelmed on home ice. In hindsight they'd have been better off playing the first two on the road. Meanwhile, take nothing away from the Rangers who look like a legit Cup contenders.

Perhaps the Bills would have a Lombardi if Damar's 2022 contract had included that clause. Should all players contracts include that stipulation?

Go Isles anyone? Best as I can tell not a popular sentiment around here. I'm surprised they made the post-season - had a very strong last third of the season despite missing a top play maker for most of it. IMO, they're capable of beating any playoff team in a 7 game series - but not capable of winning 4 straight series. With that said, when I look at the Canes I see a better version of the Islanders. I doubt we make it past them. This may sound crazy, but part of me wanted the Bruins in round 1. Past that series all I care about is the Rangers getting knocked out. They are legit contenders and went all in at the trade line - in that respect they remind me of the '94 team.

Completely off topic but I'm vacationing in that area this summer so if you have any tips on things to do or to avoid I'd appreciate it - feel free to PM.
