They seem to think so, as well.

They seem to think so, as well. Islanders - Lightning has actually turned into a real nice playoff series. Nastiness, blood, fights, hatred, Kucherov being a little bitch loser. I wish the West final was half as entertaining. JG Pageau reminds me of Mike Peca. The Islanders seemed like the better team again, outchancing the Bolts, and maybe they should be up in the series, but it's been pretty close the last two games, so a split is not wrong either. Tampa Bay outclassed New York in the first game. I hope it goes seven games. And that Tampa Bay loses in the end.

Injuries will play a major part in the series. Still would like to see the Lightning win if for no other reason than to not slide the NHL back to the Trotz trap. But even he has opened it up more since leaving Nashville.
Interesting that the Islanders lost their best player (or was he?) and didn't miss a beat after making a coaching change. Granted, they have some good young players (and especially some good defensive prospects).
Unless the Hawks can secure a high draft pick in deals involving say a Saad, why move him? To save the money for who? Strome? Kubalik after one season? Now if they bring back a legit top four defenseman (aka not Murphy at the time of the Hjammer trade), different story.

Stars up 3-1. Knights were better at everything except at putting the puck in the net.
How "fun" a Stars - Islanders final would be....

The unofficial heavyweight champ Ross Johnston draws in for the Islanders. Trotz wants to make things uncomfortable for the Bolts.

Isles are game and work harder than anybody, but are totally a systems team. I have loved the nastiness and ill will.

Cirelli wins it.
So it's Stars vs Lightning for the Cup.

It was a decent game one. The Stars way better the first 40 and deserved the W.
Bolts better be more ready Monday. They were buzzing and swarming in the third, but it was too late already.
Lots of hitting, I liked it.
