Series Thread: Islanders vs Panthers

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Right here as well.

He's doing his part so far. For my money he's been the best player in the post-season thus far along with Kucherov.

There's not enough smoking going on in that pic.

Ah OK.

You gotta be pissed at the NBC network announcers then. I don't recall which one, but one of them was going on and on last game about how Nielsen was going to be a hot commodity come July 1. Like it was a foregone conclusion he would be elsewhere. Seems like a commonly held view that FAs run away from the Isles as soon as they can. Any truth to it? I have no idea.

I think it's fair when a guy is in the postseason with unrestricted free agency pending that you can discuss the potential market for him. And they aren't wrong re: Nielsen. He's going to be one of the top UFA's this year if he does decide to test the market.

I haven't watched very much of this series, but when you're being healthy scratched for Steve Bernier, that's not good.

Isles had better hope this season was just an off year for him. If he struggles again next season this will look absolutely awful on them considering the trade value Strome had just a year ago.

With that save, Luongo just showed why many consider him the greatest goaltender of all time.

Panthers got jobbed. Dude with the puck in the Isles zone with the net empty got tripped. No call.

Then the Isles score ~20 seconds later.



Too bad someone wasn't a quarter inch offside...

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

To be fair, he made the first stop - no one covered the front of the net

@dash would know what I'm referencing with this.

Alright - The next goal goes a long way towards determining who will win this game.

Don't have a horse in this race but that was BS. NHL situational reffing at its absolute worst. Do they understand that not making a call can "affect the game" just as much as making a call?

I don't understand how the league thinks this is the appropriate way to officiate.

 

[esls79]

Wondering what is more frustrating as a fan - a phantom call or a no call?
