Lifelong diehard Islanders fan who was in grade school during the Dynasty in the 80's (STILL the last North American sports team in the four majors to win 4 consecutive Championships in a row), so had to comment on this thread.
That was such a thrilling ride and it sucks so much that the Islanders were not able to dethrone the Lightning (the Lightning are going to finish off Montreal in 5 games max). Had they won Game 7, there is not a doubt in my mind the Islanders were going to beat the Canadiens and win the Stanley Cup (kinda like when the Chiefs lost the AFC Championship Game to the Patriots when we all know they would've rolled the Rams in that Super Bowl) I have been privileged to be at Kauffman Stadium for the Wild Card Game and Games 6/7 of the 2014 World Series and at Arrowhead Stadium for the AFC Championship Game against the Titans. Believe me when I say this, that Islanders crowd at the now closed down Nassau Coliseum was every bit as rabid, every bit as intense and every bit as united and as together as those insane crowds in Kansas City. Thanks to my friend who works in a high powered position for the Islanders, I was able to go with my son (and sometimes another person) to Games 4 & 6 of the Penguins series, Games 3, 4 & 6 of the Bruins series and Games 3, 4 & 6 of the Lightning series. It was so special and amazing, most especially the Pulock save to preserve the Game 4 win and the amazing comeback with the Beau OT winner to win Game 6 to force Game 7. Hate that the season is over and the Coli did not get one last Stanley Cup to close out the Barn, but the UBS Arena right by Belmont Park is going to be one amazing and incredible new state of the art building worth going to - so hopefully they christen the new digs with the Stanley Cup they came oh so close to this year (and last year as well when you think about it) We'll be back |

That game 4 would have been incredible. No idea what their offseason looks like, but as-is right now, they just need some firepower... they're definitely close to getting over the hump. |

That slash should have been an intent to injure call and an automatic suspension, even if only for a game or two... but, it's a small penalty in a game that's already over and a $5k fine. I'm sure they've learned their lesson. |

NFL players get testy at the end of lopsided games sometimes too. Pushing and shoving etc. But, no one is diving at a players knees to do harm. |

I have been speared in the nuts more than any human should ever endure , but 90% of the time no penalty was called at most they got 2 , intent to injure should be enforced more often , but there are probably 5-10 of those a game. If you punch the guy in the face during play it is a penalty but after the whitsle you could do it 10 times without getting 1 call , makes no sense. |

Habs deserved better after period, allowing a goal with 0.3 on the clock after dominating the period is a killer, not sure they are coming back from that.
