Brock Nelson sort of alluded to it in his media availability yesterday or two days ago, but a Game 7 is kind of what you hope for, all things being equal. Sure, the situation the Islanders find themselves is less than ideal, having led the series 3-1. But if this isn’t enough to raise desperation levels, well, nothing is.
I mentioned it in the comments yesterday, but I feel good about tonight. Win or lose, this team, with three wins in the second round, still has gone further than any team since 1993. Of course, I’d be devastated by a loss, I won’t lie about that.
