Nextmanup Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Last night's Wash vs. CAR game was the least interesting double OT Game 7 you will ever witness. Both teams looked dead and the Caps looked disinterested after a strong start. Looking forward to the Col vs. Bos series which I think will be very good.

Agreed, I didn't stay up until the end but I watched the first 15:00 or so of OT and Carolina was dominating. I saw this a.m. WAS only had 6 SOG through both OTs. That's awful.

SinceThe70s Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Holy crap. Bills make their pick (I'm happy) and I check in on hockey. Still 1-0 Bruins around mid period. Gonna have to catch the end. Life intercedes, I check back soon after and it's 2-1 BJ's. Flip channels in time for the tying goal.

I was actually happy for Lehner’s success earlier In the year, especially after reading the article about his personal struggles, etc. But after his classless comments from a couple months ago, he can go screw himself seven ways to Sunday. I’m no longer a fan of his and I hope he loses every game he plays from now on. Too bad, too, because there’s a lot to like about the Isles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly missed some opportunities but I give a lot of credit to the Hurricanes. They've been stifling us - reminds me of how the Isles have gotten as far as we have, not allowing extended time in the offensive zone. One goal in two home games ain't gonna get it done. Props also to the Canes backup goalie, I thought Mrazek going off would be a turning point in the game. Did anyone see the Isles 'goal' that was called off? I think they said it was because the ref blew the whistle. Probably wouldn't have counted anyway because it sure looked like it was kicked by the back skate. I assume the kicking rule applies even if it's kicked from behind the goal line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebound came right back to him, too close to handle so he kicked it with his back skate as he was going past. Wasn't blatant but it was a kick; almost certainly intending to knock the puck back out in front and instead ended up in the net. It was the right call. I have a buddy who's had NYI seasons as long as I've known him, he's been so fired up this year. Tough to go down 0-2 at home, but if they start getting the bounces this series isn't over. Not that I'm rooting for them really, but they've fallen pretty far down my Eastern Conference hate chart since the 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no doubt a kick that would've been overturned anyway. I'm enjoying the run. After we lost Tavares and replaced with Fillpula, Komarov and Kuhnackl and then brought back Martin hopes weren't high. In a 7 game series the Isles can play with anyone, but I think they lack the offense for a 4 series run to the Cup. Eventually it will catch up with them. Maybe this series, but the team has been resilient and I'm not counting them out yet. What town is your bud from? If he still has seasons at Barclays he's a die-hard's die-hard!

Yeah, that is a somewhat under the radar but very intense rivalry. I'm always impressed that Rangers fan still do the whistle and 'Potvin sucks' chant at MSG. Too bad the Islanders lost '1940' way back in '94. Edited April 29, 2019 by KD in CA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aim higher my friend. The only good thing about Milbury is he went into the stands at Madison Square Garden and beat a Ranger fan with the guys own shoe back in 1979. In 2000 as the Islanders GM with a young Roberto Luongo on the roster Mad Mike decided to draft the immortal Rick DiPietro with the first pick in the draft and then traded away Luongo. In 2001, he traded Zdeno Chara for Alexei Yashin. Luongo and Chara are still playing. Milbury still has a job in hockey. Truth is stranger than fiction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
