The 5 Hole Playoff Edition: Can't Be Bailed Out

They never said that the day of having your first second round home game in 23 years would be this interesting, but in Islanders Country, it’s almost expected. Leading up to game three tonight, the organization got more than it could ask for in terms of radio, and talk on social media. All talk aside, there was still a massive game to be played in Brooklyn. In another crazy affair, the Isles fell in overtime 5-4. They now trail the series two games to one, with game four Friday night. Top hits from social media can be seen here.

Nice job by Kulemin to nullify the icing. At the very least, #Isles look to have their legs tonight.

#Isles PP looking aggressive — supporting teammates along the walls well.

Somewhere Mr. Bailey is doing his duck call. Josh scores with help from Kule for the 1-0 lead. #isles

If you're Cizikas, why not beat Johnson into a bloody stump there. Don't understand this team sometimes.

High stick, but we just dodged a bullet. #Isles

Great set up, Tavares to Bailey to Okposo. Bishop once again there for the stop. #isles need to start picking some corners.

— Andy Graziano (@tazman19) May 3, 2016

If Bishop wasn't sharp the #Isles are up 6 or more…

#isles looking relentless, but gotta finish some of these chances!

— Terence Boland (@TerenceBoland) May 3, 2016

#isles gonna regret all these missed chances to go up 2-0

— Jordan Greif (@JordanGreif) May 3, 2016

No excuse for failing to clear the puck when you win a short-handed face-off. I blame de Haan for that Lightning goal. #isles

— Shwax (@Shwax) May 3, 2016

Weak clearing attempts = goals against.. #isles

— Sean Cuthbert (@HTW_Sean) May 3, 2016

Failing to clear the zone will be the death of this #isles team. And probably me.

— Kevin Cosgrove (@kcos194) May 3, 2016

Huge buzz kill after an otherwise great period. Need to keep coming in the 2nd, don't get deflated!! #isles

— Islanders Pride (@IslandersPride) May 3, 2016

This team would be so good if each period was 19 minutes… It's fucking maddening. #Isles

— Ethan Greenberg (@Yankeesfan416) May 3, 2016

Need to continue that effort for 2 more periods and the rest will fall into place. #isles #StanleyCup pic.twitter.com/XH2LzBsswG

#Isles are too damn slow on the PP as of late.

— Mike McAvoy (@TheMikeMcAvoy82) May 4, 2016

Man, the #Isles need @rpulock back, like yesterday.

— Brian Compton (@BComptonNHL) May 4, 2016

#isles need to get out of this period not trailing.

FWIW: Shane Prince is a completely different (and better) player when he's on Strome's wing. #Isles

— Rob Gatt (@r_gatt) May 4, 2016

Don't mind the blocks and saves on Bishop's part as long as #isles just keep unloading on him. Shoot. Shoot. Shoot. Shoot da puck.

Horrible and soft call on Cizikas. Could see him pulling up from a bigger hit halfway up the building #Isles

Can we hold Brock Nelson accountable for the like 7 bad games in a row? Or just Strome for 1? #isles

— Potvin's Cups (@PotvinsCupsBlog) May 4, 2016

Brock Nelson shouldn't touch the ice the rest of this game and next game. #isles he's the definition of, "passenger"

— Anthony McCarthy (@Ant_McCarthy) May 4, 2016

great kill now go get it!!!! #Isles #BecauseItsTheCup

Everyone trying to will Bailey into scoring "the hatty" ? #Isles

So nervous I kinda wanna throw up.

Which I feel like is fine considering I'm sitting directly behind Lightning fans. Right? #Isles

Josh Bailey……is that you? #Isles

— Jon (@JonEJet) May 4, 2016

Biggest part of this four-goal performance by #Isles is that John Tavares had nothing to do with it.

Tavares and Okposo shouldn't have been defending to give up that goal. 3rd line should've been out. This shouldn't be going to OT #Isles
