That one might have taken a few years off some lives tonight.

Couldn't be happier to see Drouin's performance in the playoffs, not only after getting destroyed on that hit, but also after everything else that's gone down this season. He's emerging as a favorite of mine.

Drouin got absolutely lit up, even I had to give a yell on that one. Props to him for getting back out there, though. He's tough, he's a hockey player!

Drouin's tough as nails. But that was a helluva play by Boyle to seal it.

 

[I Have No Friends :(]

What an incredible game by the Lightning. They just didn't quit and got rewarded with a tough 5-4 win on the road. Love this team! Let's go Lightning! *clap clap clap-clap-clap*

Isles defense blew it..... You can't let a guy just camp-out in the goal mouth!

Go Bolts!

 

[T REX]

Just boys being boys...LOL. Boyle got the last laugh.

That's because he annihilated the guy on him. It left him free.

Hickey embellished something awful.

Regardless, he wasn't standing up. It left Boyle free.

I thought it was a great hit and legal. I'm not sure if you are in agreement or not.

Yeah, it was legal. That's why think it was a great play.it Could've been that the other guy was trying to sell it as an illegal hit. I don't know. But if he wasn't hurt and he was just laying on the ground to try and draw a penalty, then he just cost his team a chance to lead the series.

The Islanders have been very physical this series. Maybe even slightly dirty.

 

[GatorJ]

The Islanders have been dirty in this game. Borderline all series but just dirty in this game. The Lightning are going to have to be overly physical.

 

[Gatordiddy]

Bolts looking like they're getting manhandled - need to toughen up, pass better and get some SOGs

 

[GatorJ]

Lightning are playing physical as hell. Fantastic shot by Kucherov.

 

[GatorJ]

Islanders really laying the wood right now.

 

[GatorJ]

What a shot and what a win!

 

[Captain Sasquatch]

Two straight quick OT wins, I'll take it!

Vinik has done an amazing job putting the pieces together. I live in downtown(ish) Tampa if he does to the downtown what he's done to the Lightning, Tampa is going to rock as a place to live.
