hahahahahaha, so true



21. Asked one Eastern Conference coach how the Islanders could beat Pittsburgh. His reply: "The Penguins are the most physical team in the Eastern Conference, hard to play against, with good speed. It's incredible how hard everyone plays. If you are not willing to stand up…it is tough on you. Pittsburgh really imposes their will on you in the first five-to-seven minutes in their own building. The Islanders do have good puck-moving defencemen. If those 'D' can get the puck before the forecheck, that's how they can play with them."



The Cole's Notes summary of their conversation:

Elliotte: "How can the Islanders beat Pittsburgh?"

Scout: "Pittsburgh is amaaaaazing."

Elliotte: "…"

Scout: "…I guess they could be quick with their breakouts? Then they could at least play with them."

Welp, that series is over.
