Yeah, this is pretty amazing. New Owners, and we make the playoffs 5 times in 6 years. Gotta love Lamoriello and especially Roy. If they can beat the Penguins in the last game, Roy will finish 20-12-5 as Islander’s coach this year.6 years with Lou, 5 playoff spots with 3 different coaches. Pretty solid run for the guy and team.
Mike Reilly is the type of player Sebastian Aho should be btw. I fully hope that the Isles move on from Aho, and make Reilly the full time PP2 QB.I think the two biggest differences this year was firing Lambert and hiring Roy; and picking up Reilly off waivers. He ended up being a very solid pickup.
Ankles, dick... same level.you're only up to your ankles in work.
I wonder if we see some call-ups now that the team is in the playoffs -
I would like to see Hutton, Maggio, Isk, and Dufour.
Some players could use a breather here.
Never thought the Isles would make the playoffs after the horrendous run a couple of weeks ago. Instead they decided to prove people wrong by turning everything around and ending the season with a 8-1-1 run.
I still believe the Isles are built for the playoffs. Let’s see if that actually matters this time!
The Canes can be beaten if you slow them down by being physical. But, the Isles need to be clean and physical, can't take penalties. The other thing is their goalies are vulnerable. Throw lots of pucks at the net.Team getting hot at the right time. I don't like how we matchup against CAR, but if the can pull off a series win, they might go far...........
Bolduc is already on the roster and with Dobson DTD - Hutton could be called.Doubt it.
For the playoffs, I'd expect the roster enhancements to be filled by Gauthier and Kuhlmann up front and Bolduc on the blueline.
The Canes are going to be very tough to beat. Viewing this first round thru the lens of the regular season and this is a slam dunk series win for the Canes.The Canes can be beaten if you slow them down by being physical. But, the Isles need to be clean and physical, can't take penalties. The other thing is their goalies are vulnerable. Throw lots of pucks at the net.
Only 5 points out with a game in hand. Go 9-3-1 the rest of the way and they should make it.
Is that exciting to be the Columbus Blue Jackets?Loyal fan for years, I didn’t expect this team to be good enough to make the playoffs and I was wrong and it comes as a bitter sweet pill because I don’t see them as anything but a team to be on a decline from mediocrity.
I do like the new coach change and hopefully off-season changes that start to move away from an older team to a quicker younger version.
Anyway let’s enjoy some playoff hockey this weekend!
It was pretty clear the Rangers wanted no part of the Isles or Bolts, they played some of the best hockey I’ve seen them play all year the last week. They knew PIT WSH DET were probably sweeps or close to it, PIT due to experience I feel is most likely to give them a series.. They have to now hope the Isles physically beat Carolina up which even in a 5-6 game series the Isles could do.I wasnt going to be able to watch the Isles play the Rangers if thats how it landed, so I'm happy its the Canes....
