NFT: Islanders-Win

NewBlue : 6/13/2021 5:52 pm
Great defense, if you are not certain what defense is in the NHL, watch the Isles play, they prevent their opponents from getting started...stick checks, getting in their way, fore checks and never allowing a 2-1 situation.

They have frustrated their opponents.

also taking care of the puck

1 turnover all game
Road to the Stanley Cup Finals now goes through the Coliseum

I don’t think Tampa was really ready to face an East team today. Isles did a nice job controlling the middle of the ice most of the game.

Expect a rougher go of it for game 2, but if isles can somehow pull that off, this is going to get realllllly interesting
And forcing so many turovers

They work so freakinn hard...very dilligent
They have really been good  
BillT : 6/13/2021 6:01 pm : link
They played really well against the Bruins. And this was a great performance against the reigning champs. They’re really impressive.
The Islanders have a great coach

Sucks to have it spoiled for you, but you should stay off internet sports if you’re taping a game and don’t want to know the outcome. Just basic common sense.
Go Islanders best Gm/HC in Ny

Cousin is big Isles fan. I don't want to ask him, but are they still playing in Brooklyn? I get Brooklyn is technically a part of Long Island, but come on.
The Isles do not play in Brooklyn anymore  
Mike from Ohio : 6/13/2021 7:59 pm : link
They play at the Coliseum in LI, and starting next year their permanent home is on LI.

Great game by the Isles this afternoon. It was the game they wanted to play from the opening faceoff. Great defense and great discipline all game. Varly was stout again,

Will get an increased effort and desperation from Tampa on Tuesday. It will be a much tougher game. But if they can win that one?

LGI!!!

You went to a New York sports message board while you were watching a New York team’s game on delay, and we’re shocked there was a thread giving away the result?

That is your fault, Bill, not the OP’s.

No, it's not a matter of common sense. It's a matter of respecting other people. He could have had the same thread by calling it just Islanders or Islanders-TB. There is no need to put the outcome in the title. If it was a Giants thread on game day, I'd stay away. But I should be able to access this site and avoid clicking on another team's game without being forced to see the outcome.
So people should have the decency to write "spoilers" in

If i don’t watch a game I care about live I stay off the internet (not only this site). You clearly didn’t really care about finding out the result of the game and are basically asking to know the result by even touching your phone/computer.
Hottest team from the east on the Ice right now

There is a huge difference between a movie or TV show (where nobody talks about the ending because people watch it all different times) and a live sporting event. The day after a movie is released, papers don’t write headlines about the outcome. For sports, they do. Not at all the same thing.

I’m sorry the end of the game was ruined for you. I’ve had it happen and it sucks. But when a game is over people should be allowed to discuss the game outside the game thread and without spoilers.

jrapps : 6/14/2021 8:26 am : link
Agree with Mike. After years of having games ruined you learn to control your environment instead of walking into a mine field and getting upset with other people. Watch the game. Don’t browse sports sites.

The point is the Islanders have a certain way they play the game, such discipline and commitment to their way, now who knows what happens the rest of the way but as an Islander fan that was very disappointed the way they played since Lee went down I am pleasantly surprised at how they have regained their footing at the most important time...big kudos to Trotz and company for getting their act together

I couldn't figure out if Tampa was off their game  
truebluelarry : 6/14/2021 11:49 am : link
of if the Islanders were in total control, it was fascinating to watch. I am very disappointed they gave up the shutout at the end, Varlamov certainly eared it.

I expect a big pushback from the Lighting tomorrow. They will be juiced, even if their lame fans aren't (that arena sounded like the bubble tournament from last summer).

This is the same question I have too. How much of this was the Islanders imposing their will defensively, and how much was a sort of flat effort from TB? I think it is likely more the first than the last, as how do you not get up for a home playoff game?

Tuesday Tampa will be energized and hungry. I doubt the Isles can shut them down completely again, but if they can contain them again? This is a very winnable series.
