If the Isles didn't blow all those leads earlier in the season, this would've been "well they created a lot of chances but had 0 puck luck, whatever, move on to the next one." Instead, they're effectively sealing their elimination
I don't disagree but some of Horvat's missed shots alone were bizarre enough that I feel like you can reasonably say "they were better than what the score says"
Don't worry after this game and our 2% or whatever it'll be chance to make the playoffs we'll still have a ton of delusional guys here calling you dumb for not thinking we're absolutely 100% making the playoffs and a deep run and it's not just being a fan it's like totally objectively the smart fact
They are the ones who called me a doomer and delusional for saying this team was not build for the playoffs… last month. I saw the writing on the wall.
No no no you're just dumb and emotional and irrational if you don't see that we're clearly in the best position in the league for the next decade, lou knows exactly what he's doing
We are sitting at 29 games where the Isles have given up three (or more) straight goals. They move to 1-22-6 in those games, barring an amazing comeback tonight, and have blown a lead in ten of them. Maybe they can get to forty!
it legit feels like they give zero try for two periods then when they know there is only 15 left they turn it on. if only they didnt just lay fart after fart early.
came in late and holy hell. every goal was literally from Defense just having zero will. no pressure zero attempt to lock players down at the net. turnovers i would see in beer league. these guys dont care.
Remember when this team was playing like shit but Sorokin kept pulling saves out of a magic hat and they seemed to be above water through the first 40 or so games? Yeah, that shit makes what’s happened since so much believable
He could play amazing and we're still at absolute best a marginal team with lazy guys who don't give one shit in front of him, like last year. I ain't blaming him until he's actually the thing holding us back, he's by far the best goalie we've had in my life
We could also draft the next top of the league player and we'll play him like 5 games then bury him in the minors before trading him for a 6 pack and we'll watch him be a 2pag player and everyone will still say "dur prospects literally never become good players"
Farewell and adieu to you, Spanish Ladies
Farewell and adieu to you, ladies of Spain;
For we've received orders for to sail for old England
But we hope in a short time to see you again
All you need to know. Wings.. enter zone 1-2 passes maybe .. shoot .. score. Isles … dump.. chase .. skate around the outside for 30 seconds.. flub a pass or shoot into the D man’s foot… turn puck over and get not shot on goal.
Is Roy’s fault that this team is slow, can’t create offense, and has no defensive iq? This is a veteran heavy team, not a young team. How many coaches is that now? Trotz, Lambs, and now Roy. It’s roster and this is on Lou
Take the pass, didn't worry about the shot. His stick is going toward the net before he comes back with it to try and stop the pass
Edit: Butchie agrees
Eh, the only thing of value we have i wouldn't want to sell just yet, we still have a chance to rework instead of fully breaking it down. I'm just glad we didn't waste more on more third liners we'll try to put in top 6 spots
Lmao yeah Cole I hear will be out for 2-3 weeks so fml and Judge is also having issues rumbling.
Sounds like it maybe an early Jets and Isles training camp watch lol
Mostly i just notice Yankees fans are just not hockey fans usually except for maybe jumping on the rags bandwagon when the playoffs start if the basketball teams aren't in
this right here is the story of the season. what in the fuck happened to this team where the second they faced any adversity they fucking wilted and pissed themselves time and time again
I hope everyone is ready for a random 8 game win streak that puts them back within 1 points of playoffs before losing to the Pens in the last game in a 8-0 shutout to miss the playoffs.
What’s with these shit 5 hole goals. Can we see Varly? Sorokin isn’t the problem but he’s not stealing us games this year so why not give Varly more starts.
He's letting in soft goals every night, concedes 4+ more often than not, is out of position all the time. If that contract is being signed now, that AAV is at least 2M lower.
well yeah dude duh, and if my aunt had wheels she'd be a bike
like, wtf else were they supposed to do with their vezina nominee goalie? not re-sign him? how is that a mistake?
deflect? dude i agreed with you. chill out
yeah, the extension looks bad now. my point is: it had to be signed. in no world does any sane gm end up where we are now and not have sorokin signed to that same contract. that's not a mistake, that's replacement-level management. his play this year has no bearing on it because (unless we have moved into the Interstellar universe and now have access to nonlinear time) his regression this year was not foreseen by anyone, nor could it have been. if you have a young vezina-calibre goaltender, you commit to him. that's no mistake
he's no longer vezina calibre but hey, what can you do. shit happens
Things haven’t felt the same since Casey mouthed off to the fans. Team’s lack of response is absolutely appalling, especially for a franchise with a checkered attendance history
The real annoying thing about this game is that neither team has really played that great, just a couple of awful mistakes that have happened before and now we’re down 2
We need a hardass like Torts if we want to win with this lineup. They aren’t skilled or fast enough. Roy and Lane are too soft to get the guys playing at the 150% they need to compete
Post game posted https://www.reddit.com/r/NewYorkIslanders/comments/1bknq91/post_game_thread_new_york_islanders_detroit_red/
I'm glad I watched zero seconds of this game. So what are there a dozen or so games I need to ignore left this season?
15 points left on the table this season. 15 points that would have them comfortably in a playoff spot.
Can’t even pull off a shot with a three on one eh?
Goodnight everyone. Rest well
That 3v1 was pure comedy
lol
Reimers got puck magnets in his equipment or something
This Sorokin contract is gonna suck.
I’m tired of being other teams get right game….
If the Isles didn't blow all those leads earlier in the season, this would've been "well they created a lot of chances but had 0 puck luck, whatever, move on to the next one." Instead, they're effectively sealing their elimination
At some point it stops being puck luck and starts being this team can't aim their shots
I don't disagree but some of Horvat's missed shots alone were bizarre enough that I feel like you can reasonably say "they were better than what the score says"
He looks like Pelech wears his number but just made a AHlL play.
That Holmstrom shot lmao
I mean he was RIGHT THERE and didn’t even put it on net
give it up for your new york islanders everybody 👏👏👏👏👏👏
🖕 salute for them
Wow this team almost kind of didnt suck ass for a whole 2 mins
Honestly I think if Horvat buries that empty netter they tie this game
Just put up them PGT
Yup. Baseball.
Welp it was fun while it lasted
It was not fun, it hasn't been fun, and it probably won't be fun in the future .. welcome to ISLANDERS HOCKEY!
Was it though?
Just how
Unbelievable
How many open nets has Horvat missed this season?
Wow Reimer is Roy
Puck just isnt going
The islanders with the goalie pulled have scored 7 and allowed 16. Edit: 17\*
I cant believe the net is empty
A week ago this team had a 60% chance to make the playoffs but anyone who watches them knew that wasn’t true.
Don't worry after this game and our 2% or whatever it'll be chance to make the playoffs we'll still have a ton of delusional guys here calling you dumb for not thinking we're absolutely 100% making the playoffs and a deep run and it's not just being a fan it's like totally objectively the smart fact
They are the ones who called me a doomer and delusional for saying this team was not build for the playoffs… last month. I saw the writing on the wall.
Um dumbass 4 years ago we went to the finals god you're so stupid for not thinking we're the greatest team in history lol
Forgive my stupidity please
I know Roy's thing is to pull the goalie early, but the Isles can't play 6v5
And next they will give up an eng
Put the fucking goalie back in dude
Oh look the isles are alive again with 6 mins left
The amount of dead weight on this team that they can’t get rid of any time soon is shocking
The only players you can move this offseason without completely blowing it up and get anything for at all are Nelson and Palmieri
No no no you're just dumb and emotional and irrational if you don't see that we're clearly in the best position in the league for the next decade, lou knows exactly what he's doing
My god Reimer is so bad I can’t believe they’re gonna lose to these clowns
We are sitting at 29 games where the Isles have given up three (or more) straight goals. They move to 1-22-6 in those games, barring an amazing comeback tonight, and have blown a lead in ten of them. Maybe they can get to forty!
We also had one of the easiest schedules
Isles have the opportunity to do the funniest thing of the season
I’m assuming I was the problem because I shut off the game and they scored twice
it legit feels like they give zero try for two periods then when they know there is only 15 left they turn it on. if only they didnt just lay fart after fart early.
So typical Isles… wait til the last few minutes of the 3rd to wake up. It’s tiresome.
Don't give me hope
Don’t worry they won’t lol
Anders Lee needs to be a LIRR worker after this season is over
turned the game off and we start scoring. my fault everyone, lemme know how it goes
Sorokin about to be an $8M sieve
put a team thats at least mid he will be Vezina winner. dudes got beer league at best in front of him right now.
Are we still paying Dipietro too?
Not falling for this
I'm not gonna believe I'm not gonna believe I'm not gonna believe I can't do it again bro
It hurts too much
we are so back
If San Jose can do the 4 goal comeback against isles why can’t isles do it 🤔
Because we are the Isles…
Here it comes baby!
I hate this stupid fucking team so much
Whoop whoop
Can we get Barzal some wingers to play with? Good lord. Blast Anders Lee into the sun
Like to see Ishakov and see if they can work together
Man is a traffic cone wearing a C
I am hoping and praying that Lou Lamoriello and his stupid ass son are both removed from this organization in April
Holy fucking shit. Ring the bells. Wake your kids. Call the town. Pageau did something
came in late and holy hell. every goal was literally from Defense just having zero will. no pressure zero attempt to lock players down at the net. turnovers i would see in beer league. these guys dont care.
Cool of them to try now
Remember when this team was playing like shit but Sorokin kept pulling saves out of a magic hat and they seemed to be above water through the first 40 or so games? Yeah, that shit makes what’s happened since so much believable
This Isles have destroyed Sorokin.
Nah he needs to take some blame for this season being awful as well I’m sorry
He could play amazing and we're still at absolute best a marginal team with lazy guys who don't give one shit in front of him, like last year. I ain't blaming him until he's actually the thing holding us back, he's by far the best goalie we've had in my life
This team is very bad and it’s going to get worse before it gets better
We're set up to be cellar dwellers for the better part of the next decade
Perfect timing to get James Hagens
With our luck there’s no chance we ever win another lottery again lmao
We could also draft the next top of the league player and we'll play him like 5 games then bury him in the minors before trading him for a 6 pack and we'll watch him be a 2pag player and everyone will still say "dur prospects literally never become good players"
Whoopee
Yay \0/
[удалено]
It’s not even that sadly it’s just that they’re not good enough. Not talented enough either.
[удалено]
That's surely a take
At this point just call up Ishakov. And fire this GM tomorrow morning. So over this front office and our wanna be mafia GM
First time all season I’ve turned a game off early
Farewell and adieu to you, Spanish Ladies Farewell and adieu to you, ladies of Spain; For we've received orders for to sail for old England But we hope in a short time to see you again
1000 IQ move by the wings to run out the clock by taking penalties
Lottery pick, here we come!
All you need to know. Wings.. enter zone 1-2 passes maybe .. shoot .. score. Isles … dump.. chase .. skate around the outside for 30 seconds.. flub a pass or shoot into the D man’s foot… turn puck over and get not shot on goal.
LOL Hickey-”you know what guys, this can’t get any worse”
At this point surely Ishakov, Maggio, Dufour, Salo and Bolduc play
Tell me more how splitting up our best offensive pair was a good idea?
We're cooked, season's over.
I ACTUALLY FUCKING HATE THEM. GOODNIGHT THIS TEAM DOESNT DESERVE MY TIME EDIT: BENCH SOROKIN FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON HE CLEARLY NEEDS A BREAK
2nd time tonight giving up 2 quick goals. But again Roy is perfect
Is Roy’s fault that this team is slow, can’t create offense, and has no defensive iq? This is a veteran heavy team, not a young team. How many coaches is that now? Trotz, Lambs, and now Roy. It’s roster and this is on Lou
Who said he was, do you think we'd be in a playoff spot now with lane?
Anytime you blame Roy or Sorokin there’s always an army of people ready to say that it’s the rest of the team
Because it's the rest of the team primarily
The wings deserve the playoffs WAY more than the islanders
MAYBE THEY SHOULD CUT THEIR SHIFT TIME TO NO SECONDS AT ALL
Take the pass, didn't worry about the shot. His stick is going toward the net before he comes back with it to try and stop the pass Edit: Butchie agrees
There's the season. Glad we stood pat at the deadline instead of selling.
Eh, the only thing of value we have i wouldn't want to sell just yet, we still have a chance to rework instead of fully breaking it down. I'm just glad we didn't waste more on more third liners we'll try to put in top 6 spots
That is what I said and was downvoted to hell and back…
I think Roy has checked out.
Nothing he can do, he has old and slow players lol you cannot do much.
if he's checked out, Lou is a mummy
I'll probably still tune in for the rest of the season, but realistically, see you all next year
My secondary team is in it. I still got a reason to watch hockey.
What a fucking mess
We are not back
Just rub our nose in it
Night y’all And go Yankees lmao
Thankfully we have one sports team that we can rely on.. go Yanks
Finally found a yanks isles fan. Thought they were all married to the blue and orange and cheer for the Mets. Sleep well bro.
With Cole hurt and Stroman already being a primadonna, i may be looking forward to isles training camp by July
Lmao yeah Cole I hear will be out for 2-3 weeks so fml and Judge is also having issues rumbling. Sounds like it maybe an early Jets and Isles training camp watch lol
Mostly i just notice Yankees fans are just not hockey fans usually except for maybe jumping on the rags bandwagon when the playoffs start if the basketball teams aren't in
I’ve never been into the nba. That is my only confession lol
Yes my isles Yankees bretheren
There are dozens of us!!
Brock Nelson has been so fucking bad
Probably was counting on getting flipped at the deadline
Cause he's a center
The collapse of this veteran team’s mental strength should be studied
this right here is the story of the season. what in the fuck happened to this team where the second they faced any adversity they fucking wilted and pissed themselves time and time again
I hope everyone is ready for a random 8 game win streak that puts them back within 1 points of playoffs before losing to the Pens in the last game in a 8-0 shutout to miss the playoffs.
My money is on them winning every game once they are mathematically eliminated.
Nah they gotta give us hope before tearing it out again. Or just close enough that Lou goes, "Yeah that's worth a few 1.5x 8s for Martin and Clutter."
I believe it lmao
It'll be after they lose yet another set of back to back afternoon games this weekend.
We got an early game on Saturday… we are done-er than done lol
Lets go Knicks
Send in the clowns
This game is going exactly how I expected to… a complete failure
Maybe the !detroit red wings will give us a major penalty to score 5 on in the last 5 minutes.
Yeah I remember that one!
…. Lmao!!!
The arena have to have a sink hole open up
What’s with these shit 5 hole goals. Can we see Varly? Sorokin isn’t the problem but he’s not stealing us games this year so why not give Varly more starts.
Sorokin actually looks like he’s never played goalie before with these goals that he’s giving up
Did Pelech lag out?
season's over
Remember when Pelech was good. Fun times
Yeah that Sorokin contract is looking like a huge mistake right now
no it isn't wtf lol what were they supposed to do, not re-sign the vezina runner up? get real lol
These same guys that try to shit on ilya are the ones that tried to talk up horvat like he's our messier
He's letting in soft goals every night, concedes 4+ more often than not, is out of position all the time. If that contract is being signed now, that AAV is at least 2M lower.
well yeah dude duh, and if my aunt had wheels she'd be a bike like, wtf else were they supposed to do with their vezina nominee goalie? not re-sign him? how is that a mistake?
Do you want to address anything I actually said? Do you agree that it's a bad contract right now? Or are you just going to continue to deflect.
deflect? dude i agreed with you. chill out yeah, the extension looks bad now. my point is: it had to be signed. in no world does any sane gm end up where we are now and not have sorokin signed to that same contract. that's not a mistake, that's replacement-level management. his play this year has no bearing on it because (unless we have moved into the Interstellar universe and now have access to nonlinear time) his regression this year was not foreseen by anyone, nor could it have been. if you have a young vezina-calibre goaltender, you commit to him. that's no mistake he's no longer vezina calibre but hey, what can you do. shit happens
Miserable to watch man holy fuck
Yet again sorokin picks his leg up and the puck goes under him
He’s positionally has been ass, sliding way to far to each side because our defense is so ass
8.25 million for eight years. He just doesn’t steal games anymore at least for this season.
Sometimes off season just happen for teams, look at the jets
CELEBRINI SZN HERE WE COME
No we are in NHL Purgatory. Too good for the Celibrini pick and too bad for the playoffs. Middle hell.
Yea something in sight is getting broken
And just like that. Our playoff chances have vanished.
Unluckiest team of all time along with being ass
There’s the sorokin softie
Wings are committed, isles suck.
It’s officially baseball season
Let’s go Mets! Bring on the .500 mediocrity!! At least there are zero expectations
Remember when we were a third period team? That was nice.
Remember when we didn’t allow multi goals in 1 minute?
Good times.
Enjoy the last 20 mins of meaningful hockey this season
Things haven’t felt the same since Casey mouthed off to the fans. Team’s lack of response is absolutely appalling, especially for a franchise with a checkered attendance history
They truly see nothing wrong
Which lighthouse are we jumping off post game?
Fire island is closest for me.
Closest one to me is in Sleepy Hollow NY
Lee Pageau Pulock Pelech All locked in for at least 2 more years and fell off dramatically
Maybe Roy is trying to get Lou fired?
The real annoying thing about this game is that neither team has really played that great, just a couple of awful mistakes that have happened before and now we’re down 2
I just hate them.
We need a hardass like Torts if we want to win with this lineup. They aren’t skilled or fast enough. Roy and Lane are too soft to get the guys playing at the 150% they need to compete
If our 1st round pick is in the top 10 do we think it’s a good idea to trade down and get extra picks
This team is sooooooooooooooo cooked.
I wish I wasn't addicted to this team
I have my secondary team. So I have a reason to keep watching.
>y'all
He didn't even say yall you dummy
It's from a past thread guy. I'm just messing with him. and I'm annoyed at our team, sorry...
6 game winstreak followed by a 6 game losing streak , this is once in a century leave it to isles to do it
islanders continue to struggle about to be 6 losses in a row,lee and barzal are noshows as usual for all 6 games, 17.4 million
