Lightning are 11-0 after losing the last 2 postseasons.

Just an interesting stat I read.

[lakerboy]

20-6 last two years in playoffs vs everyone not named islanders. Dominant.

6-4 vs Islanders. I'm on the islanders. Sure they might lose but I can't pass those odds up.

[navyblue81]

TB just simply the better team, IMO. Going with them tonight.

[Unrivaled]

Is Tampa the better team? Better goalie and players yes but Islanders play great as a collective team.

Since 2000 only a max of one of the two conference final matchups have come back from 2-1 in the series. I’m on Tampa here because if they lose I can chase with Montreal tomorrow at a great price

I would say so. Stanley Cup champs, Kucherov + Stamkos. Watching this series thus far, thry look better from my eye. Very nearly pulled off a great comeback the other night. Isles solid team, I just think TB better.

Stamkos has one assist in the series.

Stamkos has one assist in the series.

But he’s still Stamkos. He’s the most talented player out on the ice with the exception of Kucherov. Just his presence out there is huge.

It’s really not. They won a cup without him. They learned how to truly win in the playoffs without him. They realized they didn’t need to rely on his shot.

[Kindred]

That means they are due to lose two in a row

I think you’re question has been answered.

[Goat Milk]

You're welcome.

One game though.

[navyblue81]

One game though.

Well they’re 6-0 in their last six postseason series. I don’t think they’ve gone seven games in any of them, and they destroyed Carolina and Florida who I thought were both better than NYI. Yeah it’s one game. It’s also three in five games and I can’t see them losing the last two the way they’ve played the last two periods now. They’re just better, IMO.
