Other than Coleman I see no reason to root for them either. You don’t live in the Tri-State area though, where the Islander bandwagon has been annoyingly filling up lately. They gotta go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get hating a team because of the fan base, and like I said, that’s fair, but I just don’t have a problem with any of their players or coaches. I guess for me, outside of the Rags, I hate individual players more than specific teams. And with the rat out now, my biggest grudge is probably with Hedman and Kucherov.

But yeah, for me, the Isles are an annoying nuisance that needs to be dealt with. I’m not keen on seeing Lou win elsewhere, and while I’d be happy for the ex-Devil brigade, seeing another team in the area that’s a rival, that I don’t like, succeed, doesn’t sit well. The local media coverage is also beginning to get on my nerves. Like I said, the Islanders need to go. The only solace in them doing well is that it royally pisses off Rag fans lol.

But I think you have to be local to truly understand it. You can only learn so much on the internet. You have to live it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdgeControl Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 pelech and pulock are getting it done .. two big, heavier defenseman who can take forecheck hits all game long and not get panicked. You need tough dmen to win playoff games. Hockey is still a physical game.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lateralous Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I think I would like to see the Knights sweep the Canadiens so that we can spend the entire summer telling Canada how much the North Division sucks at hockey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't stand this playoff format AT ALL this year. I mean, right now this isn't even the Conference Finals, it's the "third round" or the "semi-finals" as they're calling it, which in any other year is actually the second round, after the first round/quarter-finals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilsfan118 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Vegas is just too good. Habs came out strong and Price played a pretty good game, but man.. if Flower plays as well as he did yesterday for the rest of the series... maybe the Habs will pick off one game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda dig it. Back before the early 80's, you had finals between Montreal and Boston, Montreal vs Rangers, Islanders vs Philly, etc. I wouldn't be against a 1-16 bracket irregardless of conferences/divisions. I always felt like there should always be a good chance that the President's trophy winning team should face the second best team in the regular season in the SCF and not in the second or third rounds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
