TB ties it up on an iffy goal, but does it really mater? The Isles were clearly better than the Flyers, and the Lightning are clearly better than them.
Best part of the game is obviously that we won. Next best part is the fight in these guys, internally and Mano e Mano. Gonna be a chippy game 4. one more great lesson for this team to have learned; not folding at the biggest moment of the season as the momentum turns against them.
This Islanders team is truly fascinating. They have a soul crushing Game 2 loss, despite outplaying TB, in my opinion. Then have a commanding 3-1 lead last night, blow it, yet keep fighting hard and get the 4-3 win. There is just something about them during this playoff run that makes you believe they have a chance each game. It is impressive. Can't wait for Game 4.
Yes but with the Isles in the final 4 I can say it is deserved. Both he and Trotz have done a great job in just 2 years on the job.
