The New York Islanders put on an embarrassing performance in their 7-0 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins at home.
The Islanders didn’t skate, didn’t execute, didn’t play defense and their passing was off. Almost nothing went right for this team.
We discuss how they can respond to this poor performance and what’s next for this team.
Plus, we have our weekly Farm Report on all things Bridgeport Islanders.
All this and more on today’s Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.

Ummmm what was that???!!
Back to their old self. Weak D, and invisible fowards. Good luck Friday night
Totally unprepared to play. I can't remember the last time I walked out of an Islander game after 2 periods. I wonder if Wahly wants to play here. He's on a "prove it to me " deal and yet flubs every opportunity. I'm ready to throw in the towel on him. Tonight he was a -3. The players in the post game thought they played well in the first. They had FOUR shots on goal.
On a side note, the Islanders organization sees fit to celebrate Pride Night each year, yet there was not one Christmas song played during the entire month of December, not even the "secular" holiday songs like "Walking in a Winter Wonderland". Unacceptable.
Hi Gil, I only started watching in the 2 nd period 😊it was hard to believe that they played that bad in the 2 nd period. That’s why I don’t have season seats 😊 I did wear my UConn sweatshirt today. The walk thru with the Seaford house went well. Very happy for my daughter and son in law 🎉it’s a beautiful brand new house 🏡 in the inside 🎉 heading back tomorrow for the closing and we need to clean 🧼 it up 🆙 Gil they were do for a bad one and hopefully Friday they will be better 🎉let’s go islanders ❤❤❤❤ i just watched a video of Julius Erving doctor J it was very good!
HOLY SHIT isles got their asses handed to them. Hopefully this wakes the delusional up fooled by this recent win surge. Isles are nowhere near contender and will be dispatched of quickly if they get into playoffs.
Regardless of if isles showed up or not this game just showed how flawed isles are. Got whooped 5×5 by a highly skilled pen team. Special teams played no part in game with no s t goals. I'm just surprised letang with 6 pts. pens didn't score a few pp goals for good measure. TELLING STAT-Letang, +6. His partner petterson +5. Isles top fwds. 13, 14, -3. Top d man 8, -4. jpg isles top d center -3.
Isles are such a weak 5×5 team with recent goals surge only because of improved pp throwing in 2 goals per game. And this game shows isles really need 3 and 6 back in line up. Teams will expose undermanned d eventually. Sorokin had no chance, was best just to get him out early this game. Anyone that can find one bright spot in this disaster i'd like to hear it. No excuse for this fiasco. Lame-o coach once again to blame, just a one game blip, or are isles heading for a second half tailspin? Re-match in pitt. this weekend will tell more. Isles lose second game to team they beat. This game was a complete mismatch. We'll see if lame-o can get isles to respond after this ass kicking and trip to av's, az., vgk after pitt. Pretty scary what a highly skilled team like pens clicking on all cylinders can do against an old slow ass team like isles. Pens are the team that can still get hot with time to get back in playoff race. This game is proof why lame-0's coaching ability should really be questioned. And jarry now leads nhl with 4 shut outs.
Completely unacceptable and to me again it’s coaching how do not have your players ready to go when every point matters
Not sure what to say after this particular loss….
I took Cizikas' advice and thankfully stayed home for this one.
i said it bfore and i will say it again. ilya sorokin is a shell of what he was last year
I’ve been saying it for 2 months the islanders coaching Staff and Lane Lambert SUCK !!!!
I agree with practices without puck…but if Im coach I did it after the game..Lambert has mo respect from this guy's and he must go…..to bad that we cant bench whole team…..good luck to Walstrom he will shine someplace else belive me
I feel we have seen too many effortless games this season. As for Sorokin, I think something is off with him. He has been average this year and don’t think teams fear him as maybe they once did.on a side note I do feel it was a victory for keeping Sid off the score sheet(I try to find silver lining with horrible lose like this game). As for the offense, would like to see someone with a killer attitude on this team. Forget the selfishness passes and just shot if you have an opportunity. 4-6 shots a period isn’t cutting it.
