2021 NHL Playoffs

Some anti-Islander sentiment that I find interesting as they’ve been such a disaster over much of the last 30 years until Wang died. Irv notes he’d like to se the Pens beat the Isles, me? I’m of the thought process where the Isles still owe the Leafs one since Lanny MacDonald. (If Isles are looking for that 5th Cup, it’s in 78 or 79, not 84).

I have no idea how anyone under the age of 35 is an Islander fan. There were 3000 people at games for years, no one was there for almost 2 decades.

It's not that I hate the Isle's, I just think this might be Sid's last chance at winning a cup so I'd like to see him win another, unless, of course, he is facing my Leaf's.

Many great players on the Isle's, and I have a soft spot for Jordan Eberle since his World Juniors days.
Imo, he never really lived up to what he was capable of but he is having a great season this year so it is hard to root against him.

Ebs is cool. I think the Isles issue is that Barzal is not a #1 center. There really isn’t a #1 line either. Sort of run two #2 lines out there and two #3 lines out there. Fantastic coach and staff. Goalie coach Lou brought with him from Toronto is probably the best in the game.

Like someone else said, I am rooting against more teams than I am rooting for.

My #1 hope - Is that the Penguins get knocked out of the playoffs no matter who they play.
#2 - The winner of the Carolina / Nashville series wins the cup.
#3 - The winner of the Vegas / Minnesota series wins the cup.
#4 - All the other teams knock each other senseless.

Wish # 1 Comes True!!!!!!!!

It is always a great Stanley Cup playoff when Pittsburgh loses to anybody.

Since the Caps are done I can root for my other team now……Go Avs!!!!

It's sad to watch McDavid waste his prime years in Edmonton. This organization keeps surrounding him with the same crappy players year-after-year and guess what? They still don't get it! They are not going to get anywhere with these guys!

Chiarelli didn't help matters by letting go, trading, not signing some of their previous acquisitions.

Hindsight is 20/20 but I bet if the original core of players in Eberle, Ryan N Hopkins, Hall, etc, were still there, things would be much better.

Chiarelli was a disaster and was kept on too long.

Same with Carey Price in Montreal
