Let’s go flyers! But honestly the way that islanders have played so far, they do have a good shot

Tough one. Trotz vs AV. Cant think of a more even match up tbh. Flips coin: Isles in 6.

I believe Philly has the superior roster but the Trotz coaching plays a huge factor.

I take the Isles in 7.

I think this is going to be the toughest series, but possibly the most boring. Two coaches focusing on defense first. Yawn.

Philly in 7. They've turned the corner as a franchise.

I'll say Flyers in 6. They need to be better than they were against Montreal though.

Go Isles, but I'll be pulling the rest of the way for whoever wins this series. I like how one of those 2 will be in the final four, been a while.

Islanders in 6. Would not shock me to see them surprise teams en route to the cup final.

Dallas looked terrible to end the regular season and during the Round Robin, but managed to wake up. I expect the Flyers to do the same. Couturier, Giroux, Konecny, Provorov, all have another gear. The Islanders are playing out of their mind and can only regress.

Hextall and Fletcher have built a powerhouse that will only get better.

If you appreciate hockey analytics, definitely go and read Charlie O'Connor's stuff on the athletic. He uses stats to analyze so many interesting small details; forecheck, breakouts, entries, neutral zone traps, etc. I've stalked the writers for the other playoff teams, and he blows everyone out of the water. (The flames writers in particular rarely mention advanced stats ). He's also quick to point out where advanced stats could be misleading, eg. JvR.

Series preview

https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/...-vs-islanders/
https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/...up-series-pick



Regular-season series: Islanders won 3-0-0 (Flyers 0-2-1).
Games were on October 27, November 16, and February 11.

This is the fifth time the two teams will play each other in the NHL playoffs. The Flyers won the last series in 1987.

Just tuned into the game. Holy. Flyers getting outshot 14-3 with only 4 minutes left in the first period. Crazy
