Isles full value for the series win. Underrated, solid team. Getting guys like Zajac and Palmieri has solidified a deep team. Not a lot of star power but all around very good squad, should give Tampa a good challenge.

Love the strong defense, smart plays, and work ethic. No true top guy or superstar, just four solid lines and three solid D pairings where someone different steps up each game/series. Trotz and Lou have done a great job changing the team culture.
Don't know if they can beat Tampa but I hope they do.

Wonder what Toronto would be like if they hadn’t shoved Lou aside.
Good for the Islanders, they're a good team. Looks like the pandemic is over there for sure with that sold out crowd.
Maybe they'll beat Tamp Bay this year, they have to be real contenders to win it all being this close now.
Should be an interesting off-season for the Bruins with free agents like Taylor Hall, David Krejci and Tuukka Rask. Not exactly young players anymore.
Anybody who says coaching doesn’t matter needs to look at the New York Islanders.
That’s not the greatest roster in the world (there are some contracts I don’t love on that team) but you have 20 guys that know their role and all pull in the same direction every night.
