[-Vintage Canuck-]

The pressure is on Varlamov to keep it scoreless, which is why the Islanders need another goal to give them some comfort.

And just like that, there is that goal the Islanders needed.

Kidnap Trotz?

Yea right. Would love to bring him in but I don’t think he’s going anywhere.

 

Pretty special to see all his teams buy in. Players sacrificing individual stats in order to play the right way. The Isles are just getting it right now.

That one did slip through Vaselinevskiy.

[Hairy Kneel]

Pull the goalie! 

[DS4quality]

These two are so closely matched

Islanders showing you don't need elite talent or the best players, but you need the right ones who are willing to commit to playing a team system.

4 lines and 6ds and solid goaltending.

 

Over top line stars and flash and dash.

 

Colorado found that out too.

 

Vegas just worked them.

The Lightning have spent more time in the Islanders in the last few minutes, but they haven't been able to get that goal to cut the lead.

Yep. The Blue Jackets proved that too.

 

The Lightning can be shut down with all four lines playing the same way.
