No opinion on how good or bad Babcock is as a coach, but Commodore probably needs to move on for his own mental health - this is a pretty bizarre fixation at this point.
Hockey in Brooklyn Friday night. Isles need to weather what could easily be a rusty start, and then hit the gas hard in the second half of the game, since the Canes will be completely gassed.
I was looking forward to discussing Isles-Caps with you guys, but it was not meant to be. Good luck against the Canes. They are a tough group. I think the Caps tired them out for you for Game 1 at least! I wish Barry Trotz good luck and nothing but the best. The Caps couldn't repeat, but maybe he can.
Carolina is a tough team. I expect the Isles to win comfortably in game 1 though. After a tough 7 game series that goes into double OT I can't see the Canes having much in the tank on Friday night. After that I expect close games throughout. My pick Isles in 7.
can't watch ugh,,,,will be on the road,,,post updates guys I will try and find the broad cast somewhere
Not only wasn't that a goalie interference penalty, the Barzal goal should have counted. It was clear that the Carolina defenseman caused the contact with the goalie.
Officiating has been pretty bad in these playoffs. I understand not wanting to affect game too much but they need to just do their jobs.
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK. Clutterbuck with the absolutely brainless drop pass at the blue line and eventually they lose the game.
