I would just like to take a minute to run through the opponents that the New York Islanders have faced these playoffs.
- They faced the trash Panthers in their play-in series.
- They faced the Washington Capitals who played so poorly and reportedly were so disinterested in actually playing hockey that the coach got fired.
- They barely eked out a 7 game series win against the Flyers, who had just struggled to beat the Canadiens the round before.
- Now the Isles are facing a REAL team and got absolutely destroyed 8-2.
