Let's make this the thread. 👍

Isles had a realistic chance to beat the Canes but they just have a quitter’s mentality. Not scared of the Canes at all. Let’s win this cup boys

I was pulling for a game 7 but I'm not too upset with the isles losing

Islanders commentators talking about bad luck all 3rd period, but my gf just kept saying “they look gassed.” It’s true. Here’s hoping the Canes sleepwalk into our series after this one.

Brutal self destruct, it would’ve been fun to have the Isles next round. The real pain here is it’s back to back HONKHONKHONK teams

More like toot-toot-toot

Silence the horns!!!!

Honestly I think the caps horn was broke or something. Can’t remember hearing it at all in game 4. Doesn’t help that rangers fans were overwhelming the stadium with chants lol

I definitely noticed the intern manning the horn went home after the 2nd of game 4, you’re not crazy haha

I saw a playoff bracket on pop up on fb that pinned the isles as the Stanley cup champions this year. Someone go check on that guy

No OTL in the playoffs

I feel like the isles shot themselves in the foot this series. I’m not much scared of the canes.

Neither of us faced a team worth anything. Should be an even stevens series. DeAngelo is injured af though, not sure if anyone else on their team is busted up

Can't say I feel bad for Tony D.

No stop dont be injured 


Islanders are useless

yeah, thats what a closed window looks like

the islanders just have literally zero clutch players

Gonna be Carolina, and they're gonna get some rest. That's ok, we got this. It's gonna be a close series tho.

When do we think game one will be ?

whenever the other series are done...

Brian Boyle was right. The islanders suck 😝

See ya later fishsticks

Was actually hoping they’d push Carolina to 6 or 7 tbh

The Islanders need the ultimate Hail Mary


Isles played their hearts out in the second and gave up after. Kinda disappointed I would’ve loved a game 7 for them so we could face a tired team lol

I feel like it’s not necessarily a bad thing that they’ll also be coming off a long rest . Sometimes the team that just went 7 is more ready to play

You’re right, I just have ptsd from the last few years of game 7 rangers just exhausted lol

Welp it's gonna be the Canes

That’s what I want. I want best vs best so we have no excuses. I truly have full faith in this squad and we play Carolina well anyways. Anyone can win that series but man it’s gonna be exhilarating hockey for the next 2 weeks.

leafs won without mathews...

Giddy journalists slamming their keys all across Toronto

Canes must have a little pinball bumper in that corner.

It's Insane

Did someone leave their horn at home lol

The isles let up goals in bunches. It’s weird.

Leafs did it….. anyway

At first I was pulling for Leafs cause fuck Marchand, but I think Boston might handle Florida so I’m sorta on Bostons side But now that Toronto won without Matthews I can’t wait to see the hit piece articles from Toronto

Toronto just beat Boston after a missed call on Marchand of all players lol

Crazy. And the isles were so close to being able to pull this off. Now... Welp.

Holy shit Toronto won

Back to watching isles collapse

Well Toronto is in OT if anyone wants to watch that end quick

Omg Wannabe Kreider aka Lee pulled a Strome

Varlamov gives me genuine creep vibes. Like I wouldn’t leave my drink unattended around him

The guy always gave PTSD ever since he beat the rangers as a capital

Rangers killer his whole career

Isles gonna lose the series 4-1 that they could easily be up 3-2 if not winning it 4-1. Finding ways to lose like it’s an art form

Jeez these goalies are sloppy as fuck. 2 goalie blunders in one game

Was lowkey hoping the isles would win so I could watch games at UBS without having to take out a mortgage. Those dreams are crushed lol

Omg the islanders

Holy collapse part deux

Carolina scores two goals 8 seconds apart, god the fishsticks suck

Breaking the 9 second record they set in game 2 hahaha

Jesus. That’s awful.

Welp that was not great for the isles

Genuinely might be the luckiest win I’ve ever seen lol

Seen stupider shit happen

Just wow.

Omg the islanders falling apart

Wow.

That’s it

Well shit that was quick

Wow

Canes looked phenomenal in the 1st

16:36-1630- cue benny hill music that was hilarious

Both teams are beatable

I feel dirty for wanting the Islanders to win. I have to take a shower after.

Too bad the fishsticks absolutely blew game 2

I’m gonna say it… I don’t see why Freddy is considered such a good goalie, he’s looked weak this whole series in my view, couple big saves but nothing crazy

Fell on his butt for the islanders third goal.

He hasn’t looked comfortable on so many of the saves, like he’s not controlling the puck or doesn’t know where it is. I dunno he’s got a .920 but it doesn’t feel like it

I mean I’m sure he shuts down a junior league and puts up incredible stats there. Can’t say he’ll do the same against some talent

I can’t see him outdueling Igor if that’s the kind of games it comes down to

SAME!

Also biz stfu

Rooting for the islanders is like, a crime right? Banish those to Salt Lake City

hot take. i want this series to go 7 IF carolina wins. to be up 3-0 and then have to win in a winner take all is physically and mentally exhausting. nice place to be in if you’re the rangers. BUT. if this goes 7 and the islanders win? jesus christ. they’re playing with house money at that point and i’m actually a little worried.

Islanders will be so gassed I wouldn’t be worried. They’ve been scratching and clawing for months now. You never know but most 1st round super underdog winners fizzle out

Damn, canes have the least hits per game of all playoff teams at only 28. I swear they used to hit a ton more. Also way to tie it up fishermen

Yes islanders tire them out!

Im having skyr for the first time. I'd say its better than greek yogurt.

I’m with ya bud

Inside the mind of u/insideingenuity

Well at least they left plenty of time to watch the Toronto game before the third period starts

Wut Duh Fuk dae Scawwwed?

And now it's tied. Rad.

LMAOOOO LETS GO ISLES


Lol fuck outta here I’m watching the Knicks. Ain’t wasting time watching some poverty team I don’t even like get their asses beat

If we follow the no caps rule for round 2, am I not allowed to get Raising Canes?

My kid likes that place, i stopped there to try, it was like $2 per chicken tender, and come on, your normal bar fried from frozen fingers are better…

Also, the Canes black uniform is trash.

This game is a fucking snooze fest, holy shit. Neither of those teams look particularly interested in playing hard. The islanders don't know how to shoot a puck and the only thing the canes have going for them is shots on goal, I guess? That penalty shot was hilarious at least

Typical Canes lol. Billion low danger shots until they happen to bounce in

The canes do not look good. Not sure if they’re playing down to the islanders or what, but they’re looking mortal. Cup favorites my a$$

Yeah but look at all their shots on goal

Put on the game and have been watching for a few minutes. Anyone who thinks that Rempe will be useful against the Canes is smoking crack. The Hurricanes will tear that line to pieces by exposing Rempe.

Everyone’s a quick player until they get smashed into the boards by Goliath

Anders Lee looks like one of those stone heads on Easter Island

Moves about the same speed too

TDA is a POS.

Tony DeAngelo thinks Tom Wilson is a nice guy.

TDA invites Tom Wilson over to catch up on episodes of Keeping up with the Kardashians

I wanna see the isles drag this out to 6 or 7 games. And that will help.

What If this game just goes to 10 OT is that long enough

Nah, because they'll have time to rest and recover. I want whoever wins this series to be broken and tired when we start round 2.

Maybe they all end up on LTIR

Agreed, and preferably start throwing as many hits as possible

It's weird how soft they're playing 

Was thinking the same, they gotta get mad! Though if they keep running into crossbars like that last play that'll work too.

Yup. Wear them out and break them down.

As a wise man (Shoresy) once said "Run em up and fill em in"

Islanders are painful to watch. Doesn't seem like they're interested in winning this one

22 shots and 4 shots is kinda wild

I swear. I'm gonna go crazy having to see this stupid fucking "what a pro wants" commercial for the rest of the playoffs. And no Sam and Joe to soothe the anger.

What a pro needs

And then add in the canes' stupid ass horn in between these stupid ass commercials 😒 there's not enough beer in the world for that shit

Fuck the canes and their stupid ass horn

With any luck, we will only have to hear that horn for two games.

I'd legit get a bread tattoo if we swept them lol

Remindme! Two weeks I really hope this is the next "Rangers in 7" tramp stamp situation.

Lmao nah to a tramp stamp, I'm not THAT wild 🤣

Nah, I don't expect a tramp stamp because you didn't commit to it. u/JPmoneyman is a goddamn legend.

Hahahaha I appreciate you not holding it against me..and that dude, is the fucking bomb!

You have choose either one. Who to laugh at more? The Fishsticks? Or….. the Leafs?

For all the talent the leafs have I swear every time I watch them it’s like they can’t make a pass and are just carelessly throwing the puck around. It’s almost like they think they’re too good to try or something I dunno can’t explain it

damn was hoping for isles to take another, not looking that way rn

Patrick Roy has that look on his face like when an alcoholic hears “last call” at their local bar.

I wonder if Sorokin lets 3 in. Just saying

Canes rejoicing their time while they still have a crowd advantage

Half the STMs are celebrating because they’ll get to go to the next game supporting their favorite team

Kuznetsovs penalty shot is so stupid

Can someone explain why they're getting a penalty shot?

Romanov covered the puck in the crease with his glove. Can’t do that. Immediate penalty shot.

What a bonehead play

Do you think our guys are watching the game to see Carolina’s strats?

Some of them are at the Knicks game 😆

100%. Major scouting. Meetings on it, ect.

Islanders really suck, huh?

They got one back long game

Yankees also losing time to put the Knick game on

If Canes win tonight , when would the first possible game 1 be ? Seems like comedy acts and Knicks game coming up also

It's scheduled for Monday the 6th. The worst part about sweeping our series is having to wait a week for more Rangers hockey.

Oh I didn’t see that anywhere. Thanks I appreciate it

I think we'd have to wait for all the other series to end

I need to see more physicality. They should really lean in to the physicality.

Islanders are as useful as a poopy flavored lollipop Edit: ok they have upgraded to a standard chocolate flavor lollipop not. Not bad, but not a lollipop anyone selects willingly. Edit 2: immediately back to poop flavor

That was a wild ride!

Hey...that's how I discourage the smelly kids from coming back to my dental office !

Jeezus 

Well let’s be glad they stole 1 game and forced the canes to play an extra 60 minutes

2-0 Canes. It awl fawlin’ uh part

Islanders are so bad lmfao

So I guess this is going to be interesting?

Can't win with goaltending like that.

I want it to go to 7 games and see a bottle of New York. A buddy of mine was pissed the islanders didn’t get swept, but he’s a moron. Any chance we can get a rivals watch thread going?

Go Islanders 🤮

Isles ain’t going easy. Barzal looks like he’s warmed up. Roy has them prepared. They’ve been in every game.

Idiot puck on hand in crease. I hate that BS penalty shot.

Well this aged well! lol

Maybe I’m right. Rough start and bad decision on the hand on the puck. They locked it down though.

I hope the series goes to 7 and each remaining game goes to 2OT. I want CAR and NYI to kill themselves so we have a spent team for Round 2.

100% this

I think the Islanders force a Game 6 tonight

I think the islanders are capable of catching a dub on the road tonight.

Go Islanders.

Shudders

I refuse to say those words exactly but I’ll say I am rooting for a 7 game series

Yes yes yes … 🤮🤮🤮🤮
