Pick
I’m rolling with the Hurricanes here. Carolina’s just the better team right now and you’re starting to see with the Islanders their issues magnified and how they’ve ended up in this position. Carolina’s practically swarmed the Islanders over the course of this series and there’s only so much that the Islanders can take before the levee breaks and I think we’re just at the point of no return with the Islanders here. I’ll side with Carolina to close out the series at home.
