Seeing how many weight this series on Holtby, im once again suspicious on letting him go on agency. Can we really be comfortable next season saying that we can win anyone as long as Samsonov is playing as good as he can be?
Anyways. Islanders. Not sure how this will play out. Our system was created by the Wizard of TrOz, and now the apprentice will Have to take head on against the beast. Heavy game vs heavy game. Islanders will rally on winning this one for Barry. They will be all fired up. And they know their defence. And they know our ”secrets”. Its going to be tough to score on them. Fortunately they dont have our talent so if we play our A game they wont be scoring all that much either. But its harder to sell this series in our locker room than in the opponents, so we might be in for a long and frusfrating series.
I still take Islanders over the Canes. They will play us with our own style and we just need to be better at that. May the best team win. May it be us.
