Steve tweeted out “The Islanders have the wildest atmosphere in the NHL right now and I don’t think it’s close.”

Should have figured that out on the night Tavares returned to the Island..............but then we were bad and now we're great .............. hmmmmmmmmm

Sorry I am still not OK with that scene. I really hope it doesn't happen again during the finals (yes, I went there!).

I agree with Mark but I also agree with Chris.

[TK27]

He could have been part of something special. What a poor career choice.

We would be out in the first round. His Cap hit would have hurt us as much as the Leafs.................so for that..........thank you for leaving Tavares.

So... Overtime intermission comes... and just as the OT period is abut to start, my son calls me and says.. OK, come pick us up now? (He is at a friends house all he way on the other side of town and he and his friend need a lot home).

So.. Sure, I put the game on my phone (NBCSports APP), place the phone in my dash and "watch" mostly listen. It didn't take long for the winner and I didn't get to see it in real time. So that all said.. boy, we botched about Eberle and Beau in the thread here and who are the 2 that come through? Nice, it's about time they contribute. What a win though - Game 7 here we come.. going to be a tough one and the Islanders are just going to have to leave it all out on the ice - just get to the finals!!

Now, the beer cans? What the hell is up with that? I mean why? I don't think that was cool at all. BUT here is my next rant - listening to the OT Winner as it happens.. the NBC broadcast had nothing for the Isles winning, except for being appalled about the beer cans. Now, I get it, it was a bad look and terribly confusing as to why that was happening but these in-game announces should be ashamed of themselves with the way they are announcing this whole series. They were just as deflated as the Tampa team was over the loss. They had nothing as to how the Islanders won the game and all they could do was go on about the beer cans.

Then it switches to the studio guys - "Let's talk about HOW the Islanders pulled off winning this game". ARE YOU ****ING KIDDING ME???????? Because they are good ****ing team you ****hole ****ing douche bags!!!!
Come on man, how unprofessional can these guys be? I am just so sick of it... I can't stand it. I hope ESPN does a better job at being non-bias.

Well ESPN just hired Messier so don't hold your breath

Nor should there be. That crosscheck happens 100 times a game.

Sorry Joe was never down 3 games to 2 but then guaranteed a win......................so Mess it is lol

True, but was 19 point underdogs, the AFL never won the Super Bowl, the Colts were a superior team but lost to the underdogs NY JETS, and Mess was a hired gun, so it's Joe.

[TK27]

Say it ain't so Joe!

I saw that LFR not to long ago. After calling out the few who through stuff on the ice, I thought he was very complimentary to the majority. The seeds where sown then.

You miss the point of trolling. You take the greatest possible scenario and run with it. He is the missing piece, he would have put us over the top, he would have lead us to a championship and had his number raised up into the rafters with other Islander legends. A statue of him at Belmont Park. Potvin had Bossy, Trottier, Smith, Goring, Gillies, Tonelli and Nystrom but JT did it largely by himself. Yup, if only he stayed but he was a fool for leaving.

Yeah, you ain't gonna win this one, not with this crowd.
