Rick Tocchet for coach of the year for a couple of reasons...
1) Very deserving candidate - main reason:)
2) Canucks did ⬇️ ahead of both goalie pull goals today.
Outnumber the defending team on zone entry.

#Isles are the best team in #NHL history when facing elimination.

The #Canes are not practicing today, but Rod Brind'Amour took questions this afternoon -

• Everyone came out of yesterday's Game 4 okay, so he expects to use the same 18 skaters for Game 5.

• He is anticipating Frederik Andersen to be available again on Tuesday, given the day…

Baseball(broadcasting) like it oughta be! #LGM

Marner getting ripped in two countries tonight. The #HockeyNightInCanada crew also not fond of his play...or his behavior. #Leafs #Bruins

It was actually 25 years ago tonight. Dallas (Belfour) swept Edmonton on a Nieuwendyk goal at 17:34 of 3rd OT. #NHL #NHL history

The game you were thinking of would be 2nd - Joe Murphy 10:02 of 3rd OT; also Belfour.

Great Question!

Congratulations Darren R Pang - one of the guys in this picture apparently is a goon.

The Islanders just played a six-minute tribute video to Bob Cole between periods against Carolina in Game 4.

#isles GM Lou Lamoriello is serving as the GM for his 324th time in the #StanleyCup Playoffs , tying Glen Sather's all-time record. Needs a win today to break the record on Tuesday. #NHL #NHL Stats #StanleyCup

Martin had played every Islander playoff game since 2013. Last time #Isles played without him was in 2007: Martin was still 17 years old at the time.

#Isles players update: Iskhakov will play today for Martin (lower body).
