NHL Set To Resume In Bubble Play Saturday

       Hello there NHL fans, your favorite sports blogger is back from a long hiatus.  Bringing you the latest news from within the NHL postseason bubble.  When the league was forced to pause, back on March 11th, the Islanders and Rangers were both on the outside looking in.  But with the return to play format, which consists of  24 teams, (12 from each conference,) our New York squads find themselves in a position to play in a qualifying round that consists of a best of 5 series which will take place out of Scotia Bank Arena, located in Toronto, Canada. The New York Islanders are currently the #7 seed and are slated to play the #10 seeded Florida Panthers, who the Islanders swept during the regular season.  But the playoffs are a whole different animal, where regular-season numbers go out the window.  At 4pm eastern time this Saturday the Islanders will look to continue that regular-season dominance over their counter-part in the Panthers.  

    As for the #11 seeded Blueshirts, they will be facing off against the #6 seeded Carolina Hurricanes at 12 pm eastern on Saturday as well.  During the regular season, the New York Rangers also completed a 4 game sweep of their qualifying round opponent in the Carolina Hurricanes.  While the matchup does favor the Blueshirts, as avid sports fans would know, nothing comes easy in the post-season.

    Attention all New York hockey fans, we are in for an exciting edge of your seat qualifying round as it pertains to both teams.  So Buckley up! For a big Saturday in the NHL New Yorkers!!!
