ECF Tampa Bay Lightning (2) vs. New York Islanders (6) TB Wins 4-2

[activeStick]

Just turned to the game after the Raptors win and saw a graphic of Tampa's forwards without Point. What happened to him?

[GioforPM]

NYI blew that one big time. Great chance missed by an overpass. Goal against 7.8 secs left.

[JohnnyB]

Wow. 7 seconds left. That's a hard one to lose for the Isles

[dino7c]

lol 3 point blank chances in the last few seconds

[Bankai]

Terrible for the Isles. That hurts for sure

[activeStick]

Ouch. Ya blew it Isles!

[Northendzone]

he left the bench area in the middle of the second and it is not clear why.
Guys on the radio indicated he walked down the tunnel.

Any word on whether Point will be available for Friday’s game?

[Strange Brew]

Just watched a video of Dave Mishkin's call of the winning goal. I can't stand this guy. Let's go Islanders.

But LOL at Espo. Doesn't twitch a muscle.

^^thanks for posting that. I think that’s great for radio, he is like a fan commentating. Certainly it would be over the top for a tv broadcast.

[MrMike]

No Point tonight for Tampa

Yeah he and Espo are quite the pair and they don't pretend to be objective. This was a big goal and Mishkin nearly had a coronary. He treats a lot of goals that way.

I don't know if you've ever listed to college football radio calls in the US. Those can be something else.

[JohnnyB]

Weak play by Vasilevskiy. Basically just gave them a goal.

Sportsnet 650 and 960 are carrying the game.

[hwy19man]

It is 1-1 in the second period.

[CalgaryFan1988]

3-3 in the 3rd. Tying goal was tipped at crossbarish height.

[CalgaryFan1988]

4-3 Isles with 3:25 to go

[Strange Brew]

How does Tampa not score there? 4 Islanders watching the guy in front.

[AC]

So dirty by Kucherov with the extra slash on Pageau with the empty net breakaway.

The hook is one thing, but to then slash him hard in the ankle? POS.

[JohnnyB]

Glad the Isles got the win. That was a dirty play by Kucherov on the EN. Poor sportsmanship.

There were a few dirty hits by the Bolts last game too.
