What a gut punch
Sit Engvall, let Wahlstrom play out of the all star break at this point
That was the most “islanders” game i have ever seen.
Get ready to speak healthy scratch, Engvall.
How do you not pull a goalie after letting 3 goals in in the first 13 mins…
staple engvall to the locker room, wake me up after the all star break. fucking sold.
I’ll die in this hill- we need to ice the puck more
…until we learn how to not shit ourselves in the d zone
All engvall apologists can fuck off 🖕🏻
I’m going to have a real fucking hard time forgiving Engvall for this one.
Put Engvall ON waivers, nobody will claim his pathetic non-physical pussy ass but it’s worth a shot because he is DOGSHIT
Engvall on a 7 year deal is an absolute travesty
This is a deeply unserious hockey team
Doesn’t get worse than that. No words can explain how pathetic the giveaways are. Minor leagues baby.
Yeah bad turnover and I’m tired of Engvall, but how many games are we just gonna watch our goaltending get thoroughly outplayed? We’re paying them 1/8 of our cap, they should be making saves once in a while. Our goaltending has been a complete disaster all season.
what the fuck
Only 6 more years of those garbage turnovers. One thing Lane was right about
Nobody, and I mean nobody, breaks a losing streak like the New York Islanders.
Screw cap hit or whatever. Engvall is useless. Guys like that become a cancer on the team
Get anders Lee off the first line, dude is trash
No more moral victories.
See y’all next season.
But realistically I’ll be back before then bc fuck this team
I’m very big now can’t take the stress of this season
This was a normal islanders game 10 years ago
That was one of the most brutal turnovers I’ve seen in a long long time. Just a dagger.
BOOOOOO
Season is truly slipping away and no one to blame but ourselves. Getting very close to talking about moral victories and compete level szn.
Habs fan here, that Gallagher hit is totally unacceptable and should be a suspension. Feeling sorry for Pelech!
Just how do they always find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?
The amount of blown or almost blown points in the last 3 minutes of the a game is unreal.
Whether it’s Nashville, or the Devils, or now Montreal how many times are they just not gonna flip the puck out of the zone in those crunch moments and instead give up a backbreaking turn over that immediately become a goal.
The consistency of screwing up the last 3 min of the third period is jaw dropping.
I would not only cut engvall, but buy him a bus ticket to grt home. Dont even let him on plane.3 stars when win. Should have three poop emojis when lose. He would get all three tonight
bUt iT KeEpS tHe CaP HiT lOw
Engvall doesn’t do nearly enough good things for any of us to forgive him for that. He’s garbage, such an unremarkable player
Lou signed two of the worst players in the entire league to 6 year deals. Mayfield and Engvall shouldn’t even be on an NHL roster. #NeverForget
Mudder fucker
Waive Engvall for all I care
Now pelech is gonna have a concussion knowing our shit luck
Anyway I hope Pelech is OK and doesn’t rush back. It’s not worth it. Prioritize his health
prépare-toi à apprendre le chinois, mon pote
Anyone saying the reason Varly shouldn’t have been pulled in the first is because of Sorokin needing a break, with a literal 2 week All Star break in a couple days is ridiculous.
I got downvoted to hell when I said how fucking awful the Mayfield and Engvall contracts were when they signed… now everyone wants to fire them into the sun
Does anyone know what the return policy is on Engvall? As long as we kept the receipt?
God grant me the serenity to accept this team for what it is,
The courage to watch a game from start to finish
And the wisdom to not expect them to win
Habs fan coming to say that the Habs sub thought the Gally hit was a low class BS move. He’s an embarrassment. Hope your dude is okay
Sometimes you have to lose 4-3 to break up all the 5-4 losses.
All star break cant come soon enough for this team
