Islanders

The Islanders still managed to impose a fight on Tampa in the semifinals, but the fifth meeting finally determined the favorite. The Islanders unexpectedly suffered a crushing defeat with a score of 0:8. First of all, it is worth noting the not the best game of the goalkeeper Varlamov, who had to be replaced in the first period. But his teammate Sorokin also failed to save the club from failure. Remarkably, the team could not even score, as there were quite a few chances.

Few expected such a weak game from New York, since before that the team was practically not inferior to its opponent.

Tampa Bay

This is not to say that Tampa looked head and shoulders above their opponent in the semi-finals. Although the club initially acted as the favorite, the Lightning had a hard time earning victories.

But in the fifth meeting, the team showed what fans expect from it, defeating the Islanders (8:0). It is not easy to single out any of the players, since almost the entire squad distinguished themselves, but nevertheless Kucherov, Stemkos and Killiron showed themselves best of all. Also, one cannot ignore the goalkeeper Vasilevsky, who deflected all the shots, thereby completing the "cracker".
