  1. Actually the Isles have 27 W so if Pittsburgh lost all 4 the Isles would be in.
  2. If the Isles are a bubble team then the Penguins are a bubble team with 4 games in hand that don’t have a legit shot at anything as well. And that’s without factoring in Washington too. You simply can’t have the argument both ways. This is no more a lock for Washington and Pittsburgh, as it is a conclusion to the Islanders season. All 3 are bubble teams with zero guarantees until the end of the season.
  3. Did I say Bo was the difference maker? Point is and always has been, games in hand are meaningless until they’re played. Every team plays 82 games. 4 games ahead is every bit an illusion as 4 games in hand.
  4. Point totals come from games played, not games in hand. Thank you try again.
  5. You have a better shot at beating bottom feeders 3 in a row than elite teams. Why tf is this so hard for you to grasp? It is basic fking common sense.
  6. Once again you cherry pick the saying. Games are played on ice, champ.
  7. Realistic shot at an 8-0 =\= treating it as if they have. Not sure why you cannot comprehend that.
  8. Hoping not Minnesota feels like he wants to be there more than they want him. Unless it’s an expiring deal coming back then I’m underwhelmed
  9. A realistic shot at 8-0 before playing Pittsburgh is not “acting like they have” nice try at putting words in my mouth as usual.
  10. If you don’t think the Islanders have a better shot at making the playoffs than they did last week now with Horvat in the lineup over Beauvillier, you’re flat out delusional.
  11. Treating it as an absolute they won’t make the playoffs is a pointless argument then. Thank you for admit that finally.
  12. They have fine depth scoring, they didn’t have a go to scorer. They have that now. Have they fixed the problem entirely? No but they are substantially closer than they were with Beauvillier.
  13. The best team they play of the 3 is 8 points behind and that's Ottawa. That’s as a legit a shot of going 3-0 in the bext 3 as you’re gonna get in the NHL.
  14. Wow, are you capable of having a discussion without resorting to jumping to extreme conclusions? Did I say Bo is going to score all their goals or that he has to? Also funny enough Pittsburgh has said they’re not all in right now so minor moves at best for them. Washington may make a move like Mantha for Boeser or similar. So far Bo is the best addition and the Isles get a minimum week or two head start with him in their system. And he already looks to be gelling well with Barzal.
  15. A legit shot at an 8-0 run. Yes. I never said the Pens won’t win any of their 4 games. But I’m not writing off any teams immediately below them because FoUr GaMeS iN hAnD either.
  16. And now they have a scorer to go with good defense and a solid goalie. They’re a far more complete team and massively upgraded their roster. Only gave up Beauvillier of their roster to do so and got a huge upgrade in return.
  17. You treat them as they’re already won. They’re not. The Isles next truly difficult game is Feb 18 playing in Boston after playing Pittsburgh the night before. They have a legit shot at an 8-0 run before their next loss.
  18. A little over simplification, the Vegas and Seattle games I went to the crowd was great. The Washington game this year not so much. But that was during a losing streak and Washington steamrolled the Canucks in short order.
  19. NYI are 4-0 their last 4 with Van, Montreal and Ottawa on deck good chance it’s 7-0 by the end of that stretch.
  20. I cringed so hard at all the proposals to move Lu because now we had Eddie Lack
  21. Look at how fast he’s been turned on in this thread alone. Sad.
  22. Nah it’s over, DeNiro has already decided Pittsburgh and Buffalo are going 4-0 with their games in hand. Isles are done. Pitt locked in their spot already.
  23. And games in hand mean nothing until they’re won, not a hard concept.
