It’s finally over
Nice. Lets never do that again.
Despite putting together a “nice little run,” this coach has still not done shit to fix any of our problems. Every win we have is purely based off of a talented roster. Even in those wins the problems are more than evident and we make 0 fucking changes. Embarrassing Sorokin by leaving him in after a 6 goal period is just the icing on the cake.
The standings right now are a farce. This team is doomed to fail, this is not the structure that contenders play with.
Would have been cool if the Islanders played hockey tonight
Close The Park immediately
Ummmmm….
what a fuckin mess, shit is pathetic. i hope the boys are embarrassed
At least we held Crosby pointless…….amiright??
20 SOG in the 2nd is hard to do.
Did the entire roster forget how to hockey?
can’t wait for the islanders’ first game after the holiday break on january 30th and not a day sooner!
Are we the most inconsistent franchise like ever?
I wouldn’t consider myself much of a hockey expert but it appears that this game was unideal for the Long Islands.
Steelers: 7
Jets: 0
Typing that out was depressing
Fire sparky
Thank god I didn’t pay for tickets tonight
Burn the tapes salt the earth yada yada I’ll see you guys in the same place on Friday
Pens fan here. Rough game for you guys, obviously but just wanted to say respect to all the fans that stuck it out to the end. I always try to stick with the boys through the bad and ugly so it was cool to see.
OH NO! WE SUCK AGAIN!
Had the pleasure of missing this game because I was at the movies. What the fuck happened.
Honestly, losing by a single touchdown is nothing to be ashamed of. But how did the islanders do tonight?
That was one of the games in Islanders history
Lane with a completely uninspiring presser
Call up Rex Ryan to bury a football, then move on to Friday. Sometimes you just play a disaster of a game. Forget about it and get the next one.
I can always tell when the Islanders have lost. My ESPN home page, will show the score of a different game at the top, and if the Islanders win, their score is on top.
I did get a kick out of Butch, Hickey, and whatever his name is, leaning heavily on the “Well, you get a clunker now and then” line heavily as time wound down.
The clock, was turned back 15 years.
The only game worse than this that u have been to was game 7 in 2006

I have no comment on tonight’s game. Good night.
This team can’t handle being down 3 Dmen any longer lmao, hopefully Bolduc is benched for Mayfield on Friday and Pulock isn’t that far from recovery either
Yeah….glad I missed this one.
To borrow a line from Norm Macdonald…
Hey happy birthday, Jesus! I hope you like crap!

Even the T-shirt tosses sucked tonight. Bad night all ways around.
Judging by this sub tonight, the season is over so like who are we getting in the off-season? Any good free agents? Think we can put together a package to land McDavid? Can’t wait till training camp in September 🙏
