Series Thread: First Round - New York Islanders vs Pittsburgh Penguins

[dare2be]

And we’re tied.

It was at this point I stopped watching.

I’ll say it again, I’m getting too old for this shit.

And this is why. I just knew.

When the Islanders win, their radio PXB guy sounds like he’s on helium.

Went back and watched the highlights and yep;.........

87 - 1 goal in 5 games
59 - 0 goals in 5 games
42 - 1 goal in 5 games
16 - 1 goal in 5 games
19 - 0 goals in 5 games

If the Pens don't set the tone in the first 3 minutes tonight then I'm turning it off. If 87-71-58 don't come out hair on fire then I'll save myself the pain.

To Jarry's defense if Matheson and Malkin are your only two outlets you would shit the bed also.

And oh btw....I am still laughing at this.

pretty much says it all right there

Is it just me? I had difficulty watching that video as it seemed to stop and start repeatedly as in it was quite Jarry-ing.

Too many players that they relied on in the season have ghosted in the playoffs... Should be due for a shakeup in the offseason

yep, I don't even know what they could get for them, but it's time to part ways with both McCann and Malkin at a minimum. On defense, they're just screwed. No one is taking Letang or Matheson. God willing they may get Seattle to take one in the expansion draft, but I doubt it.

Crazy to think if it weren't for Fuck Jeff Carter of all people, a guy I initially couldn't understand why they brought in, they would be on the golf course already.

Zucker is another guy that's proven to be a failed experiment as well.

If they can get Seattle to take Matheson or Pettersson that is a huge win for Hextall.

They are screwed with Letang.

Falls in like with the likes of Perron and Pearson. Can’t say bad on Galchenyuk he was just awful to begin with.

yeah, I'm just not there's anything there to induce to Seattle to do it.

Yeah they are barren of tradable talent. And giving away Poulin, Legare or PO would be awful at this point.

yep, those were the only three I could even think of, and to me they should be non-starters.

which means you'd need to look at the current NHL roster and who there really would move the needle? Guentzel? Rust? Kapanen? doubtful. Marino? again when there is so little in the way of D talent to begin with, he should also be a non-starter IMO
