I feel like this game will be ugly for either team.

1. Islanders tear us apart after having 8 months of rest while we had one day.

2. We are feeling good and in the groove while the islanders come out slow and out of sync because they were off for 11 days.  

Agree with a comment I saw on the Islanders reddit that they needed to survive the first period when they'll probably be sloppy and the Canes will have their legs, or what's left of them. Best case, the Canes will need to get a couple fast and then hang on for two periods with dead legs.

Most likely. Could get surprised though. Hopefully Rod had the guys essentially on bed rest yesterday and treated them all to massages. Just gotta find ways to beat the feeling of pure death those last 3 games surely made you feel. 

Islanders could be sloppy, but I doubt it. I think they'll be really focused from the jump. We'll see in a few hours though

o-bitchken. having said that. i don't think we win tonight unless islanders come out flat footed. they've had too much time off, we need some more time after game 7. now having said that, we win in 5-6 games. then beat boston in 7.

2 and a half hrs till puck drop. Can't wait. I hope we can win one of these away games. Need to get this series over with quick in our favor.

Here's hoping Svech comes back by game 3. The Islanders may have the best defense in these playoffs. Trotz doesn't bs with defensive hockey. I'm way too nervous about tired legs right now.

I will try and get to a NYI game, since I will be working in NJ. 

Let me know if you happen to go Sunday. Just got tickets and driving down there from Boston

Ticket prices for games 3 and 4 are already stupid, even at face value.

What are they? For reference I just got tickets for Sunday in NY upper level by our end first row for $167 including stubhub fees. I didn’t think that was too bad for a second round game. Our home tickets way more?

Will do. Not sure I can swing it because I am driving from MN starting tomorrow morning.

Lets go!

Wow, I really like this camera angle.

[Mother Grabber]

the good thing is that we know if we go down 0-2 to start, they are just getting warmed up

It's nice playing an opponent that isn't dirty.

They changed the camera angle. I liked it the way it was. Could see everything.
