18 shots on the net quite a battle eh? 😁

Price all the way

Took the lightning an extra 18million over cap to beat the underrated islanders. Imagine if the lightning didn’t cheat?🤷🏼‍♂️

@@linehandibew6205 the Islanders were also "over" the cap.

And it was a shorthanded goal. And, from what the commentator mentioned, the Islanders never allowed a shorthanded goal all season-long, this wholesome season, which was unique amongst all teams, this season.

15 mil over the cap to score one extra goal. Imagine if the isles had an extra McDavid/Matthews/Ovechkin on their team

@@michaelkeller5927 $5 mill is scratched players $10 mill is Kucherov. It's one player stop crying about it

Wellll... "doing their best" in a Game7 ought to have translated into (at least) one goal, thereby tying & matching the Bolts into OT... Alas, the Isles stranded ~~ Tampa MUST eliminate montreal = Grew up during the years M would win 3-4 Cups straight on a regular basis (ugh) ~ Thankfully, Boston, Philly, the Isles & Oilers began to stop the madness = #24andNoMore

2 years in a row to Tampa, that's gotta hurt 😂🤣

not in game 5 😩

2004, 2016, 2020, 2021. Tampa now 4-0 lifetime vs Isles in post season.. THAT is called ownage. Proud my ass, they simply can't beat this Tampa team.

NY Islanders play beautifully.

Aiman---you guys have a great goalie in Varlamov...but our Vasi is hard to best. The Isles didn't give Varlamov any support, or not near as they should've, through the entire series.

Unfortunately this didn't age well. The Islanders missed the playoffs the next season and Trotz got cashiered.

Chicago fan here(part of Original Six)... good luck to the Habs and Bolts. *GO HABS GO*

⚡️GO BOLTS !!⚡️

GO HABS

The play where Goarde scored was terrible d from us, and the giveaway with the spectacular d by Pulock in the 3rd was bad as well. But apart from that, I think the Isles were as solid as Varly. Lightning's lucky we didn't score aswell, we had some awesome chances. Ah well, on to next year!

Is "Islander" really too long a word to use anymore?

This is definitely the kind of series where you feel bad someone ultimately had to lose.

Bolts will most likely sweep us. We had a good run though, Habs made our city proud.

Ima stars fan and honestly stars deserved the win last year with all the injuries they faced being without most of there top 6 players for more then half if not the wholes season and there star goalie I kinda wanna see tampa be swept but at the same time tampa is just a good team but tbh they almost lost to the islanders I wanted Colorado to play them but Vegas ruined that

They cannot unless they wear lightning

@@prestonfields6642 Stars were never a threat. If Tampa is even at 50% for this series, you'll see us lifting another cup. Salty.

Yanni closed the Coliseum so he's my new favorite player. Home ice advantage was a huge factor as it usually is in a game 7.

WADR to Rudy T, I'd say it has more to do with talent than heart. It doesn't hurt when you've been allowed to cheat the salary cap by $18M. Of all the pro sports leagues, the NHL is the only one where the cap actually produces parity, when it's enforced. You have teams like the Oilers with a couple big stars and no depth. You have "one-line teams" like the Bruins or AVs. The TBL have an edge, albeit not a huge one, because they've got both stars and quality depth. When or if they are brought to heel on salary, they'll be just another team in a league where any of 15-20 teams might win in a given year.

@@controlleddemolition9112 The players that put them over the cap are scratch players, and aren't NY over the cap too? It's not cheating when it's not against the rules, you can whine all you want, but that fact doesn't change.

@@donnievick3076 Who is whining? I'm questioning the notion that the TBL have "more heart" than other teams. They have more talent than the Isles, IMO. They might have the most talent in the NHL. As for the notion that it's legal, you might be right. I'm not a lawyer. I will predict, however, that the NHL will close some loopholes on them very soon. As for part of the cap being used up by "scratch players", you could say that about teams that aren't $18M over. Most teams have one or two "bad contracts".

I think the Islanders do have the heart of a champion, they don't quite have the talent though...

@@controlleddemolition9112 When you say teams cheat when they aren't breaking any rules, that sounds like whining to me. If that wasn't your intent, my apologies.

Well you see that's why your wrong.

nobody was watching but the Tampa bay rowdies also got a championship in 2020 just to add to all the Tampa sports hype lol

He was a really good tender for Colorado also. He took a lot of shots there, seemed to have a hard time with the easy ones once in a while...
