I don't really understand *that* side of the internet. I've come across YouTube clips before of a certain podcast with an unfortunate name, who apparently travels in the same circles as this Megan person, that I've found funny, but I don't know if me saying I found these clips funny puts me on list. Again, I don't really understand that side of the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramerica Industries Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Without Stamkos and either Kucherov or Point this postseason, the Lightning have scored seven goals from open play (plus one direct from a face off win) in about 278 minutes of play. Just not enough players who can score. It's painful. They've lost both games Point missed in this series, and if he can't go in Game 6, the Lightning are ed. Islanders win this if it goes 7, I can pretty much guarantee that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not nearly as pessimistic as you, though, as you said, the scoring has been lacking if either Point and Kuch are off along with Stamkos. Cirelli's been terrible in the bubble and I miss back when Tyler Johnson was any good. That said, if Point plays either game three or game five, this series is more-than-likely wrapped up already. Even without Point it felt like the Lightning controlled that game and I think the Islanders need to play substantially better to win two more. Just sucks that when Point is in the depth feels like such a strength and when he's out, nobody can get anything done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Point goes on Thursday, I think they'll be fine. Without him, I can't expect many goals. And their Game 7 history at this stage of the playoffs gives me no hope if it goes there. Lightning are 2-8 in their history when they've had a chance to clinch the Conference Finals. It's a dismal, ugly record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tp49 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 The Islanders looked gassed tonight. Glad they won as they've now gone farther than the '93 team and that the CF t-shirt I ordered arrived today so it's still somewhat relevant. They need to not be so afraid to shoot, play more physically and drive the net more. One period at a time, one game at a time. Us against the world!

People said "Just wait until Tampa Bay wins" last year, too. They didn't win. Overestimating Tampa and underestimating the opposing team is a really stupid combo of errors to make twice in a row. Coming off a 2OT heartbreaker is going to suck, especially since the Isles now have a real spark of hope that they can tie the series. And hope is something you don't want to be giving a team like the Islanders at a point like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm not holding my breath since all I want to see is the Islanders get eliminated. If not, maybe I can turn my head to Dallas and excuse the fact they beat Vegas in five games.

The_Admiral Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 The Islanders' ragtag Non-Tavares gang all running the Trotz system and winning it all would be the weirdest possible finish to the bubble Cup, so it's the one we must get. Also, I really don't want to have to start hearing about the Hall of Fame case for Jamie Benn. I can't stress that enough. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tavares must have been crying in his sleep right now after falling from playoff contention with Toronto. He probably wishes he would have stay with the Isles.
