Ryan McDonagh Was rock solid on Defense. Reminds me of the way he played with the NY Rangers during those magical playoff runs 2013-2014, 2014-2015... To fellow Rangers fans out there, I remember Ryan McDonagh playing game 7 for the Rangers blocking shots with a fractured foot against these same Lighting team under Cooper game 7 at the garden. I am very happy for him. Go win another Cup.
What a series by the isles. Gotta hand it to them, they definitely gave us a run for our money! They played fantastic. Can’t wait to see the battle between Vasy and Price!
2 best goalies in the league
@@joegoodman6787 Price is lookin superb in the playoff
Price all the way
Took the lightning an extra 18million over cap to beat the underrated islanders. Imagine if the lightning didn’t cheat?🤷🏼♂️
@@linehandibew6205 the Islanders were also "over" the cap.
The Islanders gave it quite a battle & Respect To Tampa for fending them off.
When they show them on the bench, they look like they are falling asleep. Or ready to surrender
18 shots on net
@@groovygrover190 They're watching the game...
18 shots on the net quite a battle eh? 😁
@@thexgamingchannel9771 The Islanders play a more defensive game. We were completely in the battle, the goal was a rare slip-up that will haunt those three isles for a while...
That was the most entertaining 1-0 game of all time
It's incredible there was only one goal in that game.
And it was a shorthanded goal. And, from what the commentator mentioned, the Islanders never allowed a shorthanded goal all season-long, this wholesome season, which was unique amongst all teams, this season.
15 mil over the cap to score one extra goal. Imagine if the isles had an extra McDavid/Matthews/Ovechkin on their team
@@michaelkeller5927 $5 mill is scratched players $10 mill is Kucherov. It's one player stop crying about it
@@michaelkeller5927 LTIR, scratched players and retained salaries. Educate yourself crybaby.
@@michaelkeller5927 imagine if they had six of them plus a young Bobby Orr and tackling were allowed...and they played underwater!
What a game by Varlamov, sadly his team could’nt beat Vasi, i dont blame them tho Vasi have been amazing per usual
Aiman---you guys have a great goalie in Varlamov...but our Vasi is hard to best. The Isles didn't give Varlamov any support, or not near as they should've, through the entire series.
There’s no question the islanders did their best and I’m proud of them.
Wellll... "doing their best" in a Game7 ought to have translated into (at least) one goal, thereby tying & matching the Bolts into OT... Alas, the Isles stranded ~~ Tampa MUST eliminate montreal = Grew up during the years M would win 3-4 Cups straight on a regular basis (ugh) ~ Thankfully, Boston, Philly, the Isles & Oilers began to stop the madness = #24andNoMore
2 years in a row to Tampa, that's gotta hurt 😂🤣
not in game 5 😩
2004, 2016, 2020, 2021. Tampa now 4-0 lifetime vs Isles in post season.. THAT is called ownage. Proud my ass, they simply can't beat this Tampa team.
NY Islanders play beautifully.
Congrats to the Tampa Bay lighting team and fans on a well deserved trip to the finals again⚡️The islanders played a well fought series and have a bright future under Barry Trotz coaching. Can’t wait to see them play next year.
Unfortunately this didn't age well. The Islanders missed the playoffs the next season and Trotz got cashiered.
The isles were so fun to watch during these playoffs. This was a fantastic series, both teams were excellent.
Talk about a David vs. Goliath Stanley cup final.
Tampa Bay, the defending Stanley cup champions.
Montreal, the 18th seed team.
This will be the ultimate test for the Habs.
This is going to be one hell of a playoff series.
Bolts will most likely sweep us. We had a good run though, Habs made our city proud.
@@jdbrisebois8732 wtf kinda belief in your team is this .
🎶 scabs are getting swept 🎶

@@mr.ilikespam6081 lightning in 6 is realistic . If Florida can take two games off them so can the red hot habs
Not a fan of any of the final 4 teams. But so much respect to all these guys. Good luck Montreal and Tampa!
Chicago fan here(part of Original Six)... good luck to the Habs and Bolts. *GO HABS GO*
⚡️GO BOLTS !!⚡️
GO HABS
This was a great series!
You can tell both teams were real hungry the way they both battled... something that lacked in other playoff series.
Varly played so well it just ended badly for the isles.
The play where Goarde scored was terrible d from us, and the giveaway with the spectacular d by Pulock in the 3rd was bad as well. But apart from that, I think the Isles were as solid as Varly. Lightning's lucky we didn't score aswell, we had some awesome chances. Ah well, on to next year!
Is "Islander" really too long a word to use anymore?
This is definitely the kind of series where you feel bad someone ultimately had to lose.
Great clips and excellent coverage. I had to work tonight and had no access to the game whatsoever. I feel like I just watched as much Game 7 excitement as I can. Love my Tampa Bay Lightning getting to the Cup finals for the 2nd year in a row. #GoBolts
Tampa Bay is the US capital for professional sports: Super Bowl for the Buccaneers, AL champion Rays leading the AL West and Lightning on their way to a back to back Stanley Cup.
What a patient play by McDonough in own end finding killer to cirelli to gourde.
The Islanders and Tampa Bay really played a beautiful hockey game recently. So professional.
Both Goalies were phenomenal.
I might be a Pens fan - but mostly I'm a fan of great hockey... the last 4 teams are all a step above where we need to be right now and have set the bar so high. It's hard to rout against the Isles and Habs bc of how hard they play. Fantastic games to watch - just hope the Cup FInals can live up to the expectations set by the Conf Finals. Congrats to the Isles on a great season - Congrats to the Lightning (further legitimizing their win last season)
Respect for islands, great serie
I know his father. We were neighbors in Tyumen, Russia. Andrey Vasilevsky and his brother ran on roller skates when they were two years old. Who would have thought). His father was also a goalkeeper. Respect! And if he reed this, hello from SOKRAT👋
Тампу с победой!!! Вася ты лучший 💪🔥🔥Молодцы они сделали это!!!
Жаль что это был не финал. Обе команды достойны играть в финале.
Thank you New York Ilanders. for a truly remarkable Season. Heads high you guys tried, and that's all we can ask for.
Isles put up one hell of a battle, now it's up to Montreal to give me the satisfaction I'm looking for in seeing Tampa lose.
Right there with you
Don't much like the 18 million over the salary cap.
Want to see them go down!
@@louismeloche3857 Loser!!!
AHAAHAHAHAH LOSER
Totally got that satisfaction didn't ya?
Красавчики !!! Молодцы !!! 💪💪💪💪
Super effort by both teams in many categories and aspects of play. The difference maker in this game had to be the shot blocking performance of TBL defense especially McDonough and Cernak and also TBL forwards. The blocked shots also helped create offensive rushes for TBL and reduced time in the offensive zone for NY Jslanders.
Hell of a performance Islanders. Nothing to hang your heads about. I was rooting for a Habs vs Isles final series, but to no avail. Let's go Habs! Go get that Cup.
Tampa vs Montreal. You tell someone this final match up ten years ago ? They would think you just smoked some crack.
Maybe 20 or 25 years ago, when Tampa Bay was still somehow in the Western Conference.
@@StukInBuf Tampa has been in the Eastern conference their whole existence, I’m pretty certain.
@@GWh135 Tampa was in the Campbell (Western) Conference in their first year of 1992-93

Tell them that the Islanders made it to the conference finals two years in a row and see the reaction then.
*"How did Garth Snow manage to do that? How is that even possible..."*
@@ElmerFudd16 Fair enough sir! you are correct
Both series this year were fantastic! Stanley Cup should be epic 🙏
I feel so bad for those NYI guys ..
Thanks for nice series 👍🏻
Wow, Islanders are incredible! What a team!
Both goalies did fantastic!
Proud of you Ilanders my home town team always.
Достойнейшая игра вратарей!
I love that the Tampa fans get to watch their team live this year on the way to the cup! For them last year must have felt like a parent missing their child's wedding. This year they get to make up for it. Go Bolts!
Go habs goooo

I hope they lose every game on home ice, just to piss off their awful fan base.
Well played to both teams. Good luck Tampa... hope u guys can figure and defeat Price in the finals!
Feels odd how there’s two eastern conference teams in the finals. Can’t wait to watch it tho🥶🥶
That reminds me of 40 or so years ago... Isles/Flyers(1980)... Flyers/Sabres(1975)... Habs/Rangers(1979)... battling for the Stanley Cup.
Would have like to see the Islanders go to the final but what a great series.
Tampa had 5 straight series clinching shutouts. From beating Dallas 2-0 in game 6 in 2020 to Montreal in game 5! What an unbelievable stat that will probably never be beaten!
WOWsa!! What a game 7---Congrats to the Bolts and good luck defending the Cup against the Habs--Habs are super hungry for that title, so the Bolts better bring the "A" game every night if they want to keep the Cup. The Playoffs this season have been really enjoyable to watch and looking foward to the Finals.
Gotta love the novelty of two division rivals meeting in a Stanley Cup Final since the border situation messed up all the divisions this year. I think it'll be a good series tho. I like the Lightning to repeat but it wouldn't shock me one bit if Price steals the show and brings the cup back to Montreal for the first time since 1993.
Agreed. The hab are counting on Price to deliver. Kinda hope he doesnt.
Not appearing in these highlights: Barclay Goodrow and Alex Killorn keeping the puck away from 4 Islanders for a ridiculous amount of time as precious seconds burned away late in the 3rd. Nothing that shows up on the stat sheet, but it was A-grade quality dirty work.
Тот случай, когда вратарь больше, чем полкоманды! Спасибо обоим голкиперам.
Tampa has become the sports mecca of the USA in the last year. Lightning, Rays and Bucs. You better cherish this period, Tampa sports fans.
nobody was watching but the Tampa bay rowdies also got a championship in 2020 just to add to all the Tampa sports hype lol
Best video I've ever seen 2021, from mtl; see you in the finals!
Lightening with two shut out wins against the Isles. Should be quite a series coming up against the Habs.
They are gonna destroy the habs

Here’s hoping every Canadiens fan living in Florida fill as many seats in Tampa’s barn.
Ima stars fan and honestly stars deserved the win last year with all the injuries they faced being without most of there top 6 players for more then half if not the wholes season and there star goalie I kinda wanna see tampa be swept but at the same time tampa is just a good team but tbh they almost lost to the islanders I wanted Colorado to play them but Vegas ruined that
They cannot unless they wear lightning
@@prestonfields6642 stop crying over last year injuries are a part of the playoffs even healthy you wouldn’t have beaten the lightning get ready for BACK 2 BACK LIGHTNING CHAMPIONSHIPS. Lightning in 5
We don't have a barn. We have an arena.

damn, what a game. just in case you thought stanley cup champs last year was a fluke, lightning are back baby. that roar as time ran out gave me chills... game 7 shut out by vasilevskiy... dude was awesome. varlamov played a heck of game too, lighting were relentless on goal.
some people were calling them the covid champions.
@@nathanielduncan4692 if TBL wins the cup in reality not a 82 game season, so not legit winners. St Louis blues were the last time to win a legit cup.

Yeah, back with their $100 million team, showing everyone who's boss by bending the rules more than anyone else. What a championship team 🤣
Супер серия и супер игра вратарей, Варламов и Сорокин - Вы супер вратари Спасибо! В финале болеем за Тампу с другим супер вратарём и игроками! Вася вперёд!!!
The battle of worthy rivals! Thanks Islanders for great playing, you were worthy to play in the final!.Good luck, Tampa!
You're a Class Act, my friend---SPASIBA!!
Only game I watch from both team and I feel like the Canadiens have better transition than the Islanders. Gonna be one epic Stanley Cup final for sure!
Great Series!!!!
Varlomov made sure his team was still in the game, but Vasilevskiy stole this game
I mean, he only had to defend, like 20 shots.

I hate the lil guy Hate Bolts. Perry and company will kill them.
@@BigEightiesNewWave I would have said the same thing last year bc i'm a Stars fan and Tampa is my second favorite team. Love Gourde and his work ethic
Yanni closed the Coliseum so he's my new favorite player. Home ice advantage was a huge factor as it usually is in a game 7.
Respect to the Isles, but The Bolts are the Team to beat defending Champs for a reason. Like Rudy T said. "Don't ever underestimate the heart of a Champion!"
WADR to Rudy T, I'd say it has more to do with talent than heart. It doesn't hurt when you've been allowed to cheat the salary cap by $18M. Of all the pro sports leagues, the NHL is the only one where the cap actually produces parity, when it's enforced. You have teams like the Oilers with a couple big stars and no depth. You have "one-line teams" like the Bruins or AVs. The TBL have an edge, albeit not a huge one, because they've got both stars and quality depth. When or if they are brought to heel on salary, they'll be just another team in a league where any of 15-20 teams might win in a given year.
@@controlleddemolition9112 The players that put them over the cap are scratch players, and aren't NY over the cap too? It's not cheating when it's not against the rules, you can whine all you want, but that fact doesn't change.
@@donnievick3076 Who is whining? I'm questioning the notion that the TBL have "more heart" than other teams. They have more talent than the Isles, IMO. They might have the most talent in the NHL.
As for the notion that it's legal, you might be right. I'm not a lawyer. I will predict, however, that the NHL will close some loopholes on them very soon. As for part of the cap being used up by "scratch players", you could say that about teams that aren't $18M over. Most teams have one or two "bad contracts".
I think the Islanders do have the heart of a champion, they don't quite have the talent though...
@@controlleddemolition9112 When you say teams cheat when they aren't breaking any rules, that sounds like whining to me. If that wasn't your intent, my apologies.
Not one short handed goal all playoffs... and then let in one and thet was the way they proven to be beat... a Cinderella story at it's finest to get Tampa another shot at the Cup... love it !!!
I also want Montreal to win
Well you see that's why your wrong.

As a fellow Oilers dynasty fan born much later and in England, gotta give credit where its due for my fellow Cup dynasty team, the Islanders. Gave Tampa a run for its money and improved by one game to game 7 from the previous year...
The both teams is best!
Этого следовало ожидать! Вася красаУчеГГ! Сэмэн тоже! Классная серия!
Болеем дальше!
idk why but I find it so funny theyres a highlight from 19 sec down to 5 sec....then theres a cut....then a highlight from 3 sec to game over
Finally! As a pens fan glad to see a high octane offense do what it’s supposed to do. And the goalie hold up his end. Lol shout to the Isles for battling so far. I absolutely hate that stupid trap scheme but it does work. Game should’ve been 3-0 in the first. But as the isles always seem to do. They hang around and I thought they were going to possibly tie it as they have before. But Lightning played as they should the more talented better team won. Same can’t be said in the other series. But still respect the Isles I didn’t expect them to get outta the first round and they made a hell of a run.
YOU'VE BEEN,

18 million over cap and you call that thunderstruck? lol
@@zagorakis88 1. It’s legal. 2 the islanders are also millions over cap 3. Find something else to complain about instead of admitting the lighting are a better team then yours

Those Isles gave us a hell of a challenge. Respect

Montreal is kinda scary, I have seen lesser teams hoist the cup off the back of a red hot goalie. No doubt price is hot to drag that team this far, should be interesting.
This is true, but Vasy hs arguably been even better then price this playoffs.. it’s definitely gonna be an insane series!

They have no heart. Montreal will win. Isles vs Habs was the series everybody wanted.
@@tactlessbeast6737 absolutely not. I wanted Vegas Tampa. I don’t feel like Canadiens or Isles deserved to be there. They aren’t the most talented teams. Isles play that bullshit trap slowing down the game clogging it up because they can’t skate with high octane teams. At this point I would rather the Bolts repeat because the Canadiens had enough success back in the day. Hopefully they dominate they clearly have the most talent. I’m not a underdog rooting person when it’s the Canadiens. Getting a weak division and probably the easiest path. Isles had easily the toughest path but that trap game is boring to watch. That’s why I didn’t wanna see more of those series.
@@tactlessbeast6737 you totally right about heart though absolutely need heart. That’s why the best team doesn’t always win. When it comes to talent on paper.

On paper Tampa has the edge but Price has the ability to will Montreal to victory as we've seen many times so far this postseason so I think it'll be a good one either way.
Price thrives under pressure i think it will go to 7 this year
@@coreyrowe4119 Yah, lets not forget that Vegas, Toronto and Winnipeg were better on paper too.
Welp....considering what USUALLY happens when the Habs beat the Leafs in the playoffs, I'm not too optimistic for Tampa's future. Here's to breaking the trend. Go Bolts.
Got the final I wanted of the last 4. But it’s crazy the islanders pushed them to 7 cause the Lightning are so dangerous on offense. Go Lightning in the final!
