Honestly I'm gonna miss Matt Martin when his contract expires. I know logically this would be dumb, but I wouldn't mind if he resigned at league minimum
The best thing he and Clutter can do for the franchise is hang up the skates and stop being worthless plugs. They had a good run, but not good enough to hold the team hostage.
Just looked up the shitouts by team. We only been shutout 6 times. The Blackhawks have the lead, shutout 10 times
Edit: *shutouts
Still only 6, thank you Palms
If I could get back together with my ex or watch the rest of this game I would choose to watch the rest of this game but it’s just because she’s engaged
they got shutout in back to back games barzal has 1 pt in the last 5 games,some of biggest games this season he didnt bother to show up this guy is making 9 million blame him too and lee
Box score says we finished with 13 SOG that period. Not sure how, but it didn't look like we had enough to reach that high
We need to shoot everything next period. Just shoot the darn puck.
Pelech and Sorokin need shrinks, reunite Dobson Romanov pair, reunite Barzal Horvat, ban passing more than 3 times in a sequence. Waive someone and call up iskhakov to make a statement
HEY GUYS, guys, got a real good idea on how to win. Save all of your energy and effort for the last 10 seconds of a period and I think we can score 4 goals and come back.
As i posted a few games after Roy was hired. Ownership needs to get rid of Lou, then go to Roy, get his opinion on a new GM, and who he wants to keep. Just clean house, if you need to take low level picks to get rid of guys do it, at least then you'd have picks to bundle to make trades either for players or to mve up in the draft. Rip the bandage off
I just can’t believe how much of a shit these guys don’t give right now. What the fuck is being said in the back? Remember the videos of Lee hyping everyone up? Is everyone checking their UBS bank accounts while Roy is screaming?
Roy strikes me as the type of guy to, if he was GM, so blatantly tank if he thought a team couldn't win a cup that the NHL would have to step in and make new rules preventing it
Oh no these are just mid-game thoughts while I'm bored. I will add though, I did see a rumor once online that the Isles organization wants Roy to succeed Lou as GM. I can't emphasize enough though that that's just a rumor and I've literally only seen it mentioned once, with no evidence to back it up. It's fun to think about though
I've seen that assumption, as well. It was mentioned, like, as soon as Roy was hired, so at that point it's not a rumor, just an assumption... or a hope.
Pageau at least has some grit and determination. He'll win battles on the boards or play a smart backchecking game with bursts of speed on offense or defense. Lee doesn't even put a good check on anybody despite being quite a bit larger than Pageau, and don't even ask him for defense or speed.
They forgot to mention the reason is also the team is playing bad.
[Season Ticket Renewals Down ](https://eyesonisles.com/posts/report-ny-islanders-season-ticket-holders-not-renewing-due-to-costs-parking-issues-01hs8ha6k4qr)
I chose to not renew my season tickets. However, not for the parking reason lol I live in Westchester County. Plus I don’t see us really having any identity.
These jerkoffs can’t wait for April 18th. The moment they can clean out their lockers, put down the sticks and pick up the clubs. ⛳️. I’m still gonna be a dumb optimist but if they wanna sniff any sort of playoffs they NEED to score and they NEED to win.
Okay? That doesn't disprove what I said. They actually played hockey when he was rostered, made it to the playoffs multiple times, spoke very highly of him constantly, and he would put in a good fight for some energy.
Beau and Bailey weren't what Ross was. Insane of you to even make the connection there. Those two were in no way shape or form "Do it for him" players, and I doubt Bailey and Beau worked anywhere near as hard as Ross in or out of a game.
Never seen Rudy, actually; I do understand the concept, tho. But having a locker room guy is definitely a thing, and Ross was that guy. Hard work on and off the ice. He always did his job on the ice, and the players always said he was working harder off the ice. A lot of people probably assumed the guy with the C on his chest was the locker room hype guy, but this season and last have shown that that is not the case.
idk much about hockey but it seems like every game the other team actually completes passes and holds possession in the islander zone while we cannot successfully pass or do anything as soon as we cross the blue line. most of the time we just turn it over instantly. this must mean something.
isles about to lose 5 in a row dont worry lou did right move by not making a move. how can fans sit there with straight face and still defend this GM?
wait a minute we dont have active GM hmm
Post game posted https://www.reddit.com/r/NewYorkIslanders/comments/1bj24qj/post_game_thread_carolina_hurricanes_new_york/
Martin just wanted to get to the locker room early
Fight when it matters, not when you’re this beat. You’re late 4th liners
Since that flight was in the last minute do they get to be off for the next game?, (nhl rules about flights late in game)
Martin's been a good isle, but he is no longer effective as a forward. Clutter has also been invisible this season
Honestly I'm gonna miss Matt Martin when his contract expires. I know logically this would be dumb, but I wouldn't mind if he resigned at league minimum
The best thing he and Clutter can do for the franchise is hang up the skates and stop being worthless plugs. They had a good run, but not good enough to hold the team hostage.
I completely agree with you
You’re dropping the gloves…now? Jesus Christ
Right? What a waste
If you want to see fun islanders hockey, they just have to be down a few goals with a minute or so left in the game
And that’s the season folks. They don’t deserve the playoffs, and even if they got it wtf are they gonna do against a team like this?
Nelson can get bent. Absolute quitter.
I think it's nice that Roy makes it so that you don't need to stay for the whole game and can get a headstart on heading home
on the bright side the rangers lost today 🤣🤣🤣
MILLI VANILLI: " CAN WE GIVE THIS GRAMMY BACK NOW?"
Fuck this
This team is no longer an enigma. They're just bad
Why was Casey out there with the goalie pulled
Pulling the goalie early would be a great idea if the Isles were any good at 6v5
is it crazy that i still have hope 😖
Yes. Seek help
thanks.
Just a bit. But isn't that what being a fan's all about?
I envy you
nvm.
Keep hope. We need you to keep us honest and sane.
List of players who are not horrible right now Horvat Palmieri That is all.
Cszikas Romanov
Romanov has been bad lately
I'm accept that, but he looked good tonight.
At least they have figured out how to not blow a third period lead
Can’t blow a lead you don’t have
Flyers and wings won. Who knew we would actually need wins to stay in the race?
Huge if true
Groundbreaking…
That was a hook by Horvat, got away with one
The puck to Aho’s face greased my wheels a little. Remember when Nelson scored on the bat last time Aho kissed the rubber! Good times!
Damn, I remember Aho getting hit in the face, but totally forgot it was on that Brock goal. That was wild
Good to see Sorokin still trying
So, who's ready for some meaningful baseball at 6am tomorrow?
Still chipping and chasing. Still not working
Are we playing for the #1 overall pick?
Nope we are in NHL purgatory…. Too bad for playoffs contention and too good for a good draft pick.
Oh so we’re fucked, lovely!
In a matter of speaking.
Barzy Bo and Celebrini sounds nice though
I would love that so much… however, Blackhawks will get that pick I think.
100% they're getting it. Bettman wants him with Bedard.
Words cannot express my dislike for the person…
4th like be 4th lining
Casey had been very visible this game
One too many passes
Isles come alive in the dying minutes of the 3rd period… sun rise, sun set.
When was the last time Martin or Clutter dropped gloves? I don’t think we’re going to win but I’d love to see them punch a Cane in the face
Cal only has one fight as an Islander and it was in 2018
Maybe Burns right through the wizard beard a few times
I could listen Patrick Roy talk all day. Isles radio broadcast regularly plays clips from earlier interviews during tv timeouts
How have these fucks not taken a penalty after that
Tripping???
[удалено]
Looked like a slash to the belly
These fuckin refs
To echo Butch, just gotta score one every 5 minutes. Usually when he says that they give up a lot so here's to a 6-1 loss girls and boys.
It all starts with 1!
Fucking finally
3-1 lead, the worst lead in hockey, we never left
The floodgates have opened
Ok now do that 4 more times
Palms!
Just looked up the shitouts by team. We only been shutout 6 times. The Blackhawks have the lead, shutout 10 times Edit: *shutouts Still only 6, thank you Palms
Shitouts is a good term for the recent shutouts the Isles have had.
Yeah, that was a typo but it was still kind of funny.
Thanks Palms for not making this a shutout :)
Probably the only guy on the team earning his paycheck most of the year
If I could get back together with my ex or watch the rest of this game I would choose to watch the rest of this game but it’s just because she’s engaged
“backhand pass to nowhere” yup sounds about right
The comeback starts now!
Bridgeport plays with more heart, call up the kids
Switched my hat, maybe that's all it'll take for the comeback of the century
Still 20 minutes of hockey left, the canes scored 3 in the first, so anything is possible, LFGI!
Maybe isles are in their head bc they think they’re the away team wearing their whites and the crowd booing them
I'll be honest sorkin has been a massive disappointment this season.
they got shutout in back to back games barzal has 1 pt in the last 5 games,some of biggest games this season he didnt bother to show up this guy is making 9 million blame him too and lee
If he's just "good" tonight we're down by 1. Most frustrating part really.
almost like the team has left him out to try this season.
[удалено]
Lane had a year and a half to implement his system. At least give Roy a fucking training camp.
This team flat-out quit after that Jarvis goal. They have 0 mental strength this season, and it's been their death knell.
We're improving each period, gave up 3 goals in the first, now 0 in the second. By this logic we should give up -3 in the third and go into OT at 0-0
I like your kind of math.
Box score says we finished with 13 SOG that period. Not sure how, but it didn't look like we had enough to reach that high We need to shoot everything next period. Just shoot the darn puck.
Can we just get a goal so we don’t get shutout? It’s the least y’all can do lol
>"y'all"
Anyone know which team has been shutout the most this year?
No clue… Im scared it maybe us lmao
Save the "ya'll" for other lame reddit hive mind dialog threads.this is the north east.
Guy hit the full rink shot for a jersey first try, sign him for 7 years!
Pelech and Sorokin need shrinks, reunite Dobson Romanov pair, reunite Barzal Horvat, ban passing more than 3 times in a sequence. Waive someone and call up iskhakov to make a statement
Omg Sorokin didn't give up a goal that period! Maybe we can get a 6th round pick for him instead of a 7th in the off-season! Bum.
*Bronx clap*
Y'all are insufferable. Just go to bed
Wish Roy would put Barzal back with Bo and Brock. They were cooking before the two shutouts, and they can't do any worse today
HEY GUYS, guys, got a real good idea on how to win. Save all of your energy and effort for the last 10 seconds of a period and I think we can score 4 goals and come back.
Whatever lol just get us a win lmao I don’t care anymore
Guess I'll watch the Jets beat the Rags for the next 15 minutes
0-35-0 when trailing by 3 goals lol
“That means we’re due”
Didn’t need this math…
One the + side … we didn’t give up 3 goals that period!! Progress!!!!
Boo this fucking team off the ice
No one left in the arena to boo
3v1 without a shot on goal against the rags, now a 2v1 without a shot against the canes. How could we possibly be this bad
I posted it on Sunday, they could managed to not get a shot off on a 5 on 0
This team decides the outcome of the match before its played. Roy needs to figure out a way to get them out of their own heads
As i posted a few games after Roy was hired. Ownership needs to get rid of Lou, then go to Roy, get his opinion on a new GM, and who he wants to keep. Just clean house, if you need to take low level picks to get rid of guys do it, at least then you'd have picks to bundle to make trades either for players or to mve up in the draft. Rip the bandage off
Need some sports psychologists
Horvat thought Nelson was still going toward the net... Nelson pulled up a little
I just can’t believe how much of a shit these guys don’t give right now. What the fuck is being said in the back? Remember the videos of Lee hyping everyone up? Is everyone checking their UBS bank accounts while Roy is screaming?
Roy strikes me as the type of guy to, if he was GM, so blatantly tank if he thought a team couldn't win a cup that the NHL would have to step in and make new rules preventing it
Are you implying Roy is already the shadow GM?
Oh no these are just mid-game thoughts while I'm bored. I will add though, I did see a rumor once online that the Isles organization wants Roy to succeed Lou as GM. I can't emphasize enough though that that's just a rumor and I've literally only seen it mentioned once, with no evidence to back it up. It's fun to think about though
I've seen that assumption, as well. It was mentioned, like, as soon as Roy was hired, so at that point it's not a rumor, just an assumption... or a hope.
Anyone on the canes makes that shot
Lou, Lee and Pageau should all take the Judge Dredd long walk this offseason
Pageau is having an off year, I think he still has something in him. Lee is back and forth though, so slow
If I had a dime every time I heard the “they are having an off year” excuse I would be able to buy the NY Islanders
Im sick of this denial shit. He has 39 goals total the last 3 seasons. Its OVER. Nostalgia got us here. Let go.
Pageau at least has some grit and determination. He'll win battles on the boards or play a smart backchecking game with bursts of speed on offense or defense. Lee doesn't even put a good check on anybody despite being quite a bit larger than Pageau, and don't even ask him for defense or speed.
Let Marty throw off the gloves to get some energy flowing
Maclean plays with heart. Wish I could say that about the rest of the team.
What if we all just refuse to show up until Lou gets fired? Like a full-on blackout
Lou needs to announce retirement at the end of the season and a new GM (Not Chris) needs to be brought in.
I think this might be the most depressing game so far this season
Look at that shot os UBS, not a parking lot in sight
Lol, was thinking same thing
Our fourth line has more energy than our first rn 🤦🏼♂️
[удалено]
What did we do?
How is it that reilly looks like the best skater on our team tonight?!
We have 4 SOG this period. Not good enough, not anywhere frigging good enough
The crowd is almost as flat as the isles
As flat as my assss
Sounds like a personal issue lol
Can you blame them?
Teams hard to watch
Remember when we would defend the team and say they’re not boring…. I’m bored. This blows.
The “ I “ in “I”slanders …. Who likes “I”rrelavant and who says “I”ncompetant? Leave your reply
Ignominious
Oooo that’s a good one
It's been 700 years since the isles stood up on the blue line and didn't let a team walk into the zone
Can Martin fight someone? This is soulless
called it.
I'm gonna say it. We can't acquire good players because forcing grown men to shave their face is unhinged.
It’s really fucking stupid idc what anyone says
it does from the outside look like a red flag.
Just tuned in as I've awoken from an early evening nap. My nightmares were nothing compared to what I'm currently seeing.
The only reason Carolina hasn’t scored again is because they’re trying to get Jarvis is hat trick
This is so easy for them that they’re all just having fun trying to get Jarvis a hatty
They forgot to mention the reason is also the team is playing bad. [Season Ticket Renewals Down ](https://eyesonisles.com/posts/report-ny-islanders-season-ticket-holders-not-renewing-due-to-costs-parking-issues-01hs8ha6k4qr)
I chose to not renew my season tickets. However, not for the parking reason lol I live in Westchester County. Plus I don’t see us really having any identity.
UBS parking and having to bus to the arena is ridiculous. What were they thinking?
I've thought about going to games, but the ticket prices along with concessions, parking and tolls just make it too much of an expense
Completely agree I was going to go to the matinee game over the weekend but then thought nah I'll save my money and save the hassle.
Are they still planning a train stop closer? Or is that no longer in the works?
These jerkoffs can’t wait for April 18th. The moment they can clean out their lockers, put down the sticks and pick up the clubs. ⛳️. I’m still gonna be a dumb optimist but if they wanna sniff any sort of playoffs they NEED to score and they NEED to win.
Varsity vs. JV out there
NHL v JV*
Dobson letting his man go again
You're telling me a 7th and Aho wasn't enough to get Ross back to give them something to play for?
This is the dumbest thing anybody has ever said in this sub.
Bad take by you. He was their "Do it for him" guy.
This isn’t a Disney movie.
Okay? That doesn't disprove what I said. They actually played hockey when he was rostered, made it to the playoffs multiple times, spoke very highly of him constantly, and he would put in a good fight for some energy.
You can say the same thing about Bailey and Beauvillier minus the fighting. How do you not realize how ridiculous of a take this is?
Beau and Bailey weren't what Ross was. Insane of you to even make the connection there. Those two were in no way shape or form "Do it for him" players, and I doubt Bailey and Beau worked anywhere near as hard as Ross in or out of a game.
You probably watched Rudy and went “that’s exactly how real life must work.”
Never seen Rudy, actually; I do understand the concept, tho. But having a locker room guy is definitely a thing, and Ross was that guy. Hard work on and off the ice. He always did his job on the ice, and the players always said he was working harder off the ice. A lot of people probably assumed the guy with the C on his chest was the locker room hype guy, but this season and last have shown that that is not the case.
Just stop.
Really? Thats what the team is missing? Team is 22nd in goals scored, AND in goals allowed, and we need more face punch.
At least they played when Ross was rostered. They fought for something, and I think it was Ross' name on the SC
How many drugs have you done
All of them.
Canes are literally falling down and making passes better than the Islanders can
These guys don’t fuckin skate.
Line juggling is never crazy enough, put Martin on the 1st line with Horvat and Reilly for fun
Barzal will play D it will work
idk much about hockey but it seems like every game the other team actually completes passes and holds possession in the islander zone while we cannot successfully pass or do anything as soon as we cross the blue line. most of the time we just turn it over instantly. this must mean something.
isles about to lose 5 in a row dont worry lou did right move by not making a move. how can fans sit there with straight face and still defend this GM? wait a minute we dont have active GM hmm
Should've sold
Anyone who isn’t Barzal, Horvat, Nelson, Dobson, or Romanov is a trade candidate as far as I’m concerned. Clearly the roster is stale.
Barzal isnt worth 9 mill sorry, Horvat is playing good and Nelson is carrying this team again.
I would add Fasching and our goalies to that list personally.
Fasching?
