2021 NHL Playoffs

[DelPen]

15 shots after 45 minutes, not acceptable for Vegas.

I guess 16 shots after 50 was a good start

[DelPen]

Montreal should not have won game 3. Vegas should not have won game 4.

My only dog in this series is Fleury. If he’s not playing I don’t care.

Tampa and Montreal are both really good at clearing the crease. It's no coincidence they are in the final 4. I just can't understand why the Penguins ignore opposing players who setup in front of the net, not only do they not clear the crease they insist on fronting the player.

[KG]

Total domination by Tampa so far. Isles have given up like 9 2 on 1’s so far.

I don’t want to see Tampa repeat, but they are looking like the class of the league.

Pens really need a strange in strategy. Their style clearly doesn’t equate to playoff success the last several seasons now.

They need a few physical players and they also need to have the fight to go to the net. Smaller players still can be tough to play against.

I agree. They need more size and a change in defensive philosophy. You don't need to be big up front if you have a tenacious forecheck which we lack

[DelPen]

Isles are a **** disgrace

Isles are a **** disgrace

This game is a little different than game 5 against the Pens and Bruins. Tampa took it to them.

Hopefully Tampa wraps it up Wednesday. We all know the Isles won’t go away easy.

[Southern Fan]

So how does Barzal get tossed for that cross check when Guentzel and Crosby got ten times worse than that in the first round?

[DelPen]

Seems like when Gallagher does the stupid crap the Habs don’t win. He’s doing the stupid crap tonight.

[DelPen]

Why would they just not have the linesman go to the room early to get stiches? They do this all the time in the regular season? Is there a playoff rule that says they need 4 officials at all times?

[murphydump55]

Fleury beaten glove side.

[brwi]

This series looks like the Stars-Vegas last year in the bubble where the Knights offense dries up against a lesser but defensively strong opponent.

[DelPen]

Stone with a horrible turnover then a lazy back check. Two goals a result of absolutely incompetent back checking and then the 2nd goal was just no one covering Staal.

[thehockeyguru]

Less than 5 minutes in and I've seen 3 Islanders penalties and not one call.

“Old school playoff hockey” insert eye roll

[DelPen]

I really want the last game in this dump to be filled with disappointment for the home fans.

[KG]

It’s amazing how the refs call absolutely nothing but will call a BS trip to negate a power play.

The league really needs to stop. Yes it’s the hardest trophy to win in sports doesn’t mean you need to skate through quicksand!

[DelPen]

So they call Barzal falling over a player who is literally just skating to the puck a penalty but don’t call a blatant and vicious cross check away from the play where the ref is also literally looking right at it an nothing else.

**** this league.

[brwi]

I don't see the Isles coming back from 2-0 midway through the game.

What about 2-1 with 25 to go?

LOL....I'm surprised Eberle got that much on that backhander, kudos to him because the Isles looked about done and suddenly right back in it.

[KG]

Lamoriello winning GM of the year award (which is based on regular season) is a joke.

Isles finished in 4th place and all he did was trade a first round pick for Palmieri and Zajac. Both were duds in the regular season.

This team is all about Trotz and system.
