\n Barry Trotz\u2019s team led the playoff series<\/a> three games to one, before Alain Vigneault\u2019s squad stormed back to win the next three, including the decisive Game 7.<\/p>\n

The 2015 second-round series between Vigneault\u2019s Rangers and Trotz\u2019s Capitals has played out similarly this summer in each coach\u2019s current gig, with Vigneault\u2019s Flyers overcoming a 3-1 series hole against Trotz\u2019s Islanders with back-to-back overtime victories to force a seventh game Saturday in the Toronto bubble with a trip<\/a> to the Eastern Conference Finals for the taking.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s probably a lot of similarities,\u201d Trotz said Friday on a Zoom call, the morning after Philadelphia\u2019s 5-4 double-OT win evened the series. \u201cThere were games [in 2015] where we played very, very well and didn\u2019t get a victory\u2026 sort of what you\u2019re seeing in [this year\u2019s] playoffs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed, Vigneault\u2019s Blueshirts won the final three games after dropping three of the first four in the 2015 Metropolitan Division final, featuring overtime winners by Ryan McDonagh in Game 5 and Derek Stepan in Game 7. The Flyers actually have posted all three of their wins in this series in extra time, including Ivan Provorov\u2019s double-OT tally in Game 6.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe outcome is the same in the sense that one moves on and the other team doesn\u2019t play anymore,\u201d Vigneault said of Saturday\u2019s series finale. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot at stake, obviously a lot of pressure. But it\u2019s an enjoyable, or should be an enjoyable moment, for players and coaches. You get yourself ready and lay on the line what you have.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis next one is gonna be interesting. We played five periods of hockey, we\u2019ve been playing a lot of hockey, both teams, physical hockey, and I feel like we\u2019re that toy growing up that you keep punching in the face and keeps getting back up. We were down 3-1, and we\u2019re still there. We gave ourselves a chance and we\u2019ll get ready for [Saturday], work hard and enjoy the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Islanders, who haven\u2019t been to a conference final since 1993, when the East still was known as the Wales Conference, talked Friday about a need to clean the slate and focus solely on their next performance.<\/p>\n

Asked if he has a \u201cspecial message\u201d for his players, Trotz replied: \u201cYeah, I will, but I\u2019m not going to tell you. It\u2019s for the players.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me personally, it\u2019s what you play for. These moments are fun,\u201d said veteran defenseman Andy Greene. \u201cYou shouldn\u2019t be nervous, and I know that\u2019s easier said than done, but you go out there and trust everything you\u2019ve done throughout the year and throughout the series. Just trust yourself as a hockey player and it comes down to just believing in yourself and waiting for the opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Greene app<\/a>eared in two Game 7s in 14 seasons as a member of the Devils, losing in 2009 to Carolina and defeating Florida in 2012.<\/p>\n

The Islanders also dropped a seventh game to Trotz\u2019s Capitals in the first round of the 2015 playoffs. They have squandered a multitude of scoring opportunities in each overtime defeat to the Flyers, including a breakaway chance Thursday by Brock Nelson that was denied by goalie Carter Hart.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re gonna have some ups and downs, but it\u2019s kind of what you want as players. You gotta win a game,\u201d Nelson said. \u201cWhatever\u2019s happened in the past is done, and it\u2019s about one game and getting ready for that.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t sit and look back. Would I like to have the overtime shot back? Sure. But we\u2019re here tied up at three now headed into Game 7. \u2026 It\u2019s been some time since that Game 7 in Washington, but it\u2019s fun and it\u2019s an opportunity that you cherish and you want to make the most of it. You\u2019re playing to move on and I think that\u2019s all that needs to be said. There\u2019s a lot of guys that would be happy to be where we are right now and just have to try to take advantage of it.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
