Could be the worst series of 2020 if the Isles/Caps was any indication.

Nothing says quality hockey like trying not to score

Philly forces a game 7. What a terrible series. Can't get into it at all. I think Tampa destroys either one of these teams if Kucherov is ok to play.

I?m a Flyers fan and think it?s terrible. I can?t imagine what it?s like for a non-biased observer. The Flyers have no business going to a game 7 but here we are.
If the Flyers win at least you won?t have to read more articles by Cox about how the Leafs made a mistake choosing Kyle over Lou.

I hope the Flyers win because of that and how the Isles treated Tavares in his return, but I also can't stand how the Isles play.

Yeah. As much as I hate the Flyers (well, mostly, their fanbase - certain individuals, like yourself, excluded), Islanders fans have just become too annoying over the last couple seasons, and having them advance to the 3rd round will just add to that. Flyers fans are who they are, and they've been that way for long enough, with a team that has had some playoff success, that making it through won't really impact their annoyingness.

To be fair, we never should have let Matt Martin go.  Did you know he scored 4 goals this playoffs?

Flyers playing poorly and Isles fans aside, the Isles play such boring hockey and none of their players are interesting. Hoping the Flyers close it out.

I liked Martin as well as Leo. The problem was how Babs used them, especially Leo. How many remember that he had Brown and Leo playing with Matthews against the Bruins in the playoffs? And the Leafs couldn't afford Martin @ 2.5 mill.

Barring a miracle this series is over. Flyers have 9 shots after 2 periods, Isles have 19. Just brutal. Let's go T Bay. Can't stand watching the Isles.

 

[princedpw]

I checked the box score. The islanders have essentially no players I know anything about (save maybe Barzel).  What is hockey? Why does that work?

It's a sad state of affairs when you're reduced to cheering for Tampa. I was seriously Hopi g for at least one of the Avs or Canucks.

Would have liked to see the Avs. I think it would be a better show. After watching Vegas and Van tho, I'm glad Vegas won. They dominated and deserved to advance. As for cheering for Tampa. I like the way they play and they've been a really good team for a long time.
