    I skipped angry and settled fully into depression.

    Terrible loss but I'm glad it didn't go into double overtime or later and exhaust everyone. Just come back strong and even up the series.

    Bolts are a very tough road team, they killed the Rangers at the Garden last year in the eastern conference Final last year

    That was a bad loss for the isles, they just don't have the skilled depth players to shift the momentum their way.

    I like the team that Yzerman has put together. It's amazing what he had done with that team, he has not been their GM for that long and he quickly turned them around.

    The team is a reflection of a GM that had so much success as a player and was coached by one of the greates coaches of all time.

    He knows what kind of players it takes to win, star players and good role players.

    I will be shocked if isles win, Tampa is hitting their stride right now.

    Not being a drag, I just watch every game and this feeling of impending doom just hangs over me.

    Piece of shit building with a car in the $300 seats and the boards and glass system falling apart after one season. If there's a game in Brooklyn next week it will be in a fog bank on slushy ice. Makes the Coliseum look like the Taj Mahal.

    Game 3 was a terrible loss tonight was just a bad loss,,,,,,91 can't do it alone even though he tries,,,and Greiss played well enough to get a win,,,,,again the supporting cast just ain't there,,,too bad

    It's over, the lack of good offensive role players and good coaching has come back to hurt this team. Tampa is just the better team!

    Very frustrating to watch this team with little depth and offensive talent,,especially in a big spot,,sadly Cappy goes no where when we all know he is horrendous

    this is all kinds of pathetic

    Tavares with more penalties (2 minors at once in the first period) than shot attempts, to go with a -2 rating

    Tough way to go out, but still successful getting to the 2nd round and defeating the Panthers. I am sure Isles fans would agree that beating the Pens or Caps in the ECF would have been unlikely anyway. The future seems bright to me. Just build around 91.

    I'm not upset, just depressed that the fans have been clamoring for a coaching change and some help for 91, for quite some time now and guess what? None of it has happened.

    Snow will do nothing again, I have no trust in him to get rid of the dead weight and bring in quality depth players and a true coach that can develope these young players like Strome and Brock and Lee.

    Don't be surprised to see Ryan Strome ask to be traded, I'm convinced that Hamonic wants to be traded not because personal reasons, but he does not want to play for Capuano anymore.

    Go Caps!

    This was predictable,,sad if your an isles fan but very predictable,,,this team was good enough/ lucky enough to win a series but the talent and depth is so noticeable and frustrating for fans like myself to watch .
    Tavares has no one to play with,,a shame ,feel bad for JT the guy would put up stupid numbers if he played with someone / anyone ! I always like Okposso but I have seen enough, he can go in F A,,,,Brock Nelson is so soft it's sickening,,,I get ill watching Nelson on thd ice,,goodbye,,,,Kulmenin,,c ya,,,Bailey thanks for the 2 goals in game 3 bye bye,,,Ryan Strom scratched every other night,good bye,,,,thr 4 th line is great for energy but you can't count on them to score goals, sorry ,,the kids Quine and Prince were brought up 10 games ago to show you how badly this team lacked talent and depth,,,,,and honestly they should not have been here yet but there was little choice ,,ps Bernier = please,,,
    The coach and Gm should both be gone but for you Isles haters rejoice as the GM and Coach will be back and that's sad for us fans of the team,,,,,well nice year,,,,nice win over the panthers as they clearly were the better team but we were lucky to get by them,,,,if things stay as is this team will be moved to another state in 4 years and that's my feelings on this,,rant over
