Regardless of outcome, which is 5-3. This team has serious problems, they have a zero Home Ice Advantage. You lead a game 3-0 do you think the Panthers are going to take the L?????
The Panthers win on physicality! Our we getting the message. They simply turn up the physicality and the Islanders shrink. This was a critical game. Sad watch they run roughshod all over the Islanders at HOME! Tuchuck smacks Varley around and guys stand around lol ! I don’t think the fans should care anymore, the team doesn’t take it too hard. Fellas got a tee time tomorrow. F**k this team!
