Isles defense not doing much defense.

So true.  Odd man breaks for the Bolts were plentiful in the 1st period.  Kevin Bieksa is doing commentary here in Canada and kept saying the Isles were "cheating" in terms of team defense.  Tampa's alleged "cheating" is much more productive than the Isles' version.

Isles don’t have enough talent to give a half-ass effort against a team like Tampa…..

[spndnchz]

Damn. Make it a game at least Isles 

[Eleven]

I'm missing a stream for this one, but from the score it looks ok.  Every guy who was a boy in 1980 is rejoicing. Let's see 19-0.

Yea, Right after Valarmov …

The good news from an Isles perspective is that it was not the closing game of the series. A game 6 win and this is forgotten. Unlike say... what we did to the Flyers in the '01 quarters. The Flyers have to live with that shameful beatdown forever. Forever.

Ouch!!!! Hella whooped!!!!

MUST WIN!!

GO HABS!!

I watched through the first 4 goals of last night's game. I haven't seen a playoff series where defenders were made to look like pylons, like that, since the Sabres demolished the Flyers and Hatcher was getting his doors blown off. It was astonishing.

The good news from an Aisles perspective is that Vasilevski has gotten a SO in each of Tampa's last win of the past 3 series they were in, so Trotz can use that to say his boys have games 6 & 7 in the bag.

Will be interesting to see if Barzal is available for game 6.  If not, Trotz can use that to his advantage as well in summoning yet another gear for his squad to ramp up.  He has to find something, because Tampa smells blood.

And Lehner DID win it.  He was the reason.  If Vegas is doing this, it is incredibly stupid.

Yeah, he was not watching who was around.

[Wyldnwoody44]

Would be nice to have 2 goalies that can win.... 

[French Collection]

Vegas is obviously a success story but I cannot cheer for them to win a Cup. Expansion teams should have to “suffer” first.

Remember when?  The "three-headed goalie monster" was perceived as a problem.

It was a blessing.

Miller with the Biron backup was solid.

Not as solid as Hasek with Biron, but still.

I said just this when I was with my parents on Sunday!

I can't watch anymore.  It is late.  

On the other hand, I get to be a viking:
