    Tampa may need to look for a new head coach...that was a terrible series for them.  After the 1st period of game 1 it really went Columbus's way.  Congrats to Columbus and their 1 or 2 fans here...

    Shittsburgh is gone as well...

    Hell yeah it’s been a long time since I’ve felt this good about the islanders they really played solid hockey, I’m hoping the Caps series goes seven games and someone knocks the shit out of Ovechkin

    They Islanders looked really good in all facets, and I'm looking forward to seeing what they accomplish in this run.

    I just checked and you are right he just signed an extension.  Not much more they can do but get at it again in October.  But that sure sucks, what a great season they had.

    Four years...  
    But yeah, something needs to change.  Perhaps they have too much skill and not enough grinding.  Maybe they don't need the type of production they get from their 3rd and 4th lines, but rather need to beef it up. 
    The loss of Hedman and Stralman really hurt though.  Hedman is clearly their best D and I think Stralman is probably the second best.  Their inability to handle the forecheck and clear the zone was a killer, while giving up 5 PPG.  Not having your best two blueliners is a setback.

    It's one thing to win the President's Trophy with 128 points and the 2nd highest win PCT in NHL history & tied for most wins in NHL history and not win the cup or even make the finals, its a whole other level of embarrassing to lose in the first round...but to get swept in the first round...that really takes the cake. Wow.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    Bye bye Penguins!  One pick right on my bracket so far.  Absolutely crazy about Tampa.  I didn't have them going all the way but I did have them in the ECF.
    Star Lake 00 / Pittsburgh 03 / State College 03 / Bristow 03 / Cleveland 06 / Camden II 06 / DC 08 / Pittsburgh 13 / Baltimore 13 / Charlottesville 13 / Cincinnati 14 / St. Paul 14 / Hampton 16 / Wrigley I 16 / Wrigley II 16 / Baltimore 20 / Camden 22 / Baltimore 24 / Raleigh I 25 / Raleigh II 25 / Pittsburgh I 25

    Go Leafs Go!
    Truly believe this series is going 7. If the Leafs can beat Boston this round and with Tampa now out. The 2nd round would have the Leafs playing the Islanders. Couldn't have asked for a better story line in playoffs.
    Its anybody's cup now that Tampa is gone.

    I did not realize Hedman was out.  That's a big blow.  It would have been the equivalent of Detroit not having Lidstrom.  In today's NHL you need production from the 3rd and 4th lines...so yes adding toughness goes a long way, I still think those grinders have to be capable of scoring and being responsible.  I'd probably give it a go with said lineup 1 more year.  Detroit in the early '90s had trouble getting over the hump, I think it was when they added Shanahan that got them over the hump a bit.  Tampa should be able to compete for a while.

    someone needs to step in and nix the Barclays playoff games and keep them in Nassau, a team this hot, with a great crowd behind them could make magic.....Barclays diminished their chances

    losing was stunning.  getting swept had to be about a million to one odds.  absolutely crazy.
