Same lineup for the Islanders (with Evgeni Nabokov starting again). Buffalo has lost defenseman Brayden McNabb to a possible concussion, so they've called up Joe Finley.

He definitely held his own
Finley seemed upset in the box, probably not what he wanted. He wanted an overwhelming win to boost his team, and didn’t get it, because Martin hung in there.
So
apparently Buffalo is a team we have more juice than?
Refs bailed us out on two too many mens and that “backcheck” by Streit after the terrible zone entry. Very sloppy few minutes.
Was wondering the same
It’s like a make-up game.

For a minute
I thought he was hurt too. As they pulled away to the Buffalo scorer, he went down in mental agony, but you couldn’t tell that at the time. And then Howie or Butch said Nabakov "hurt himself (and I’m thinking “seriously, again?”) … last game playing the puck poorly."

Is Myers really this unspectacular?
I thought he was supposed to be an amazing defenseman. He’s OK (I’d take him over 2/3 of our defense), but I thought he was supposed to be amazing. He seems very underwhelming to me.
I think he's still young and inconsistent
When he’s using his reach smartly, that alone makes forecheckers melt away and opens up passing lanes.

Or even if Peter is right, can he just ad lib and go with the moment?
Rather than, “but you screwed up my follow up that it was against Monday’s opponent, who most of us hope you don’t play because it’s time for Poulin.”
Lighthouse Hockey: A flute with no holes is not a flute. A Dane with no holes is Frans Nielsen.
He started the interview putting thoughts in his head...
“I know you’re thinking about those thar helped you along the way”…“You’re goal tending coach, I know you’re thinking about him”…How the fuck does he know wtf Nabby was thinking…Maybe he was just happy he got his 300th win for the guys because they deserved it…Maybe he was thinking, “thank god we won after that give away goal I did”…
Why not just ask him…“So, what are you thinking at this moment, after you’re 300th win”? I wonder if the Isles would hire just anybody…I’ll apply for bug eyes job…
Just like the hurry-up faceoffs leave little time for color commentary
These interviews leave little room for good Q&As. I don’t get why they don’t make them thought-provoking rather than “How about that? How about that? Mkay good.”

How do find we find out who is right?
My guess is Peter Pan is wrong.

Nabby's probably thinking
shut up, i know what im talking about
islanders hockey, making a sane person go insane during finals week
I have been asking for our goalies to steal some games...
after the 2nd period it looks like Nabs is trying to steal one from us…Thanks, Nabby…
Nabokov:
“I sat out last year but even I know Deb is better than you”

I really want to know why Jaffe was replaced with an inferior analyst...
I guess Isles fans don’t deserve top notch coverage…
Nino looked great too
Great effort all around – 2 ES goals, millions of chances, aggressive, effective forecheck. Either that, or Bufallo is really sucky.
Lighthouse Hockey. Where Islanders fans come to panic with punctuation.

Nino is starting to make a difference with the few minutes he plays...
Not sure why people are so quick to judge this kid…Lets see how he progresses before demoting him, jeesh..

Please.

I think he grew up an Isles fan, dude
I don’t think he’s bashing him, he’s saying what 90% of the people say here when Ricky does the same stuff. You need to play the puck better.
The way he talks, he acts like everything he says is gospel.
Guy gets a milestone and the first thing you do is bash him?
On a NY channel? Uh uh.

So much fun when they win
It’s gonna be great when they win more often, and it’s coming. You can see it. Fill in some of the holes on D, and let some of the young-ins grow a little. Good times coming up. Now please let these good times be on L.I.
have any of you heard about a possible staios to edmonton trade rumor
because apparently they were false

Hadn’t heard, but that’d be hilarious.

The Steve Staios to Edmonton rumours that have been out there today? Told it is NOT happening.

Wasn't it a wierd feeling when the Isles scored a go ahead goal in the 3rd?
There have been very few of those this year…
It was good to see Cappy get mad when his Capt was getting disrespected by the refs...
Streit isn’t that type of player to do such a thing in the first place…

1979-80

May 24, 1980: Tonelli to Nystrom. At long last, the steady build of the New York Islanders from expansion doormat to surprise semifinalist to annual contender reaches the promised land: Buoyed by a late season trade for Butch Goring that gave the team the depth up the middle GM Bill Torrey had been seeking, the Islanders knock off the Philadelphia Flyers in six games.
The victory justified the faith in coach Al Arbour who guided them from their second season to their first Stanley Cup seven seasons later. The Islanders would not be the first expansion team to win the Stanley Cup, but they would be the only one capable of a dynasty.

May 21, 1981: This time it was much easier. After falling to "only" 91 points in the 1979-80 season, the Islanders returned to their division title tradition, piling up 110 points -- a whole 13 points over second-place Philadelphia.
Between the quarterfinals (where they beat the upstart Oilers in six games) and the finals, the Islanders reeled off eight consecutive wins -- with a four-game sweep of archrival Rangers in between. As they defeated the Minnesota North Stars in five games for their second Cup, their goal difference in the final was a combined +10.

May 16, 1982: Another year, another landslide title. The Islanders won the Patrick Division by a whopping 26 points over the second-place Rangers, and were seven points clear of their nearest competition for the President's Trophy, the still-not-quite-ripe Edmonton Oilers.
A first-round scare against the Pittsburgh Penguins turned in the Isles' favor thanks to John Tonelli's heroics, and a true dynasty was on its way: Past the Rangers in six games, then an eight-game sweep of the Quebec Nordiques and Vancouver Canucks to run away with the Stanley Cup.
1982-83

May 17, 1983: Not so fast, whipper-snappers. The Edmonton Oilers' steadily rising challenge for league supremacy took them all the way to the finals for the first time, where the New York Islanders summarily dispatched them in a four-game sweep. For the Islanders, the Dynasty was secured. For the Oilers, it was a powerful lesson in where talent ends and the demands of playoff hockey begin.
Four years, four Cups, 16 consecutive playoff series wins (a record that would grow to 19 until the rematch with the Oilers the following year). Mike Bossy scored 60 goals yet again, and Wayne Gretzky became acquainted with Billy Smith's crease.
