The New York Islanders didn’t blow a third period lead, but they were still outscored 3-0 in the third period and lost to the Boston Bruins 6-3. We break down some of the good things that happened in this game like Brock Nelson’s three-point night, and discuss where the team struggled in this loss. We also have our hero and goat of the game.
Plus. Patrick Roy had an interesting quote after the game that indicates he may realize this team isn’t talented enough to win consistently right now.
And we discuss how Roy called out Oliver Wahlstrom and whether Wally is running out of chances with the Islanders.
All this and more on today’s Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.
Happy Thanksgiving everybody.

They are terrible..horvat. oliver JG etc no goals
Well at least they keep it fresh in the way they lose that's the only thing that's entertaining
HA HA this is comical, a new way to lose in third. Its like bringing out the kryptonite in the third period to melt superman down. At least it was 3-3 in the third before b's blew isles away. And 30 only 15 saves on 20 shots was horrible. Just shows isles have no chance to w when goalies are off. At least isles didn't give up pk g, didn't score on pp as well. All g's coming from one line-again. Now 4 pts. out in east they say thanksgiving is the line. If you are out of playoffs on turkey day you are fkd. Isles so not a playoff team. Nothing is improving. Teams know isles have no game plan except to give game away in third. Maybe trail going into third and see what happens? nah this lazy cooked team just doesn't have it. No will no care anymore.
A brisk second half tail spin i would welcome. If it rids isles of a louzer gm. Why the fk even bother chasing 8th? b's just showed they are still so much better than isles as isles reel a point ahead of pens for last in division. Please RESIGN NOW louzer before it gets really bad. Give isles fans something to look forward to by leaving NOW. One so called hack says laffs are sniffing around about 29 yet wont id who laffs would send back as laffs don't have much in prospects/picks to give isles. Louzer will be putting up the 'FOR SALE' sign by feb.
And isles CONTINUE TO BLOW THIRD PERIOD LEADS because isles just aren't A GOOD TEAM-period.
Have a happy turkey day gil-all.
Pathetic, sad and unwatchable
So here we are Thanksgiving…The Islanders are drowning and there isn't a life raft in sight. Oliver Wahlstrom is NOT an NHL talent…never was…but on a team that carries as much dead weight as the NY Islanders it really doesn't matter. Lou Lamoriello will continue to do damage to this franchise until ownership wakes up and realizes just how bad things really have become. A happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Gil. 😊
The only constant thing from the time the Islanders lost to TBL in the ECF a few years ago to now is a lack of skilled players to take this team further and the GM who is responsible for making changes to this inadequate roster. Sorry to be redundant, most fans know this. Why wouldn’t the owners make changes accordingly? Could they possibly not see what we all do? Come on Scott and Jon, you don’t need to follow the disaster that Jerry Jones presides over. Oh well, our fate as fans of this team. Happy Thanksgiving everybody, lgi.
PFL! PFL! (Please Fire Lou)
I'm already a depressed Isles fan. PLEASE don't put me thru the pain of watching the old man (who is in his third decade of living on past glory) retrash…um, rebuild this team.
Happy Thanksgiving Gil. Fun game, but obviously not good.
Not sure how owners don't see attendance and performance and let Lou continue. On Wally, I want to see him moved. He needs a reset. The 4th line has 5 points total. Wally can't produce if no one else on his line can either. I'm ready for the off-season
This is 100% on ownership. The fact that Lou is still GM is such a joke. Every other organization would have fired Lou 2-3 years ago.
Elon Musk, please buy the NY islanders.
Happy Thanksgiving Gil and to all! the excuse is; this team has too many good players out on injury. But its the same problem this team does not have enough size and toughness to win. I think they have enough skill they don't have enough players that can change a game with a hit they don't effectively play the body and have defensemen that can hit and yes drop the gloves.
Good 🌄, Gil, how are you? HAPPY 🦃. The Islanders didn't blow a lead, but they didn't have a lead to blow in the first place. They scored a goal in the final minute of the second period to overcome two leads, but once again, they cracked in the 3rd period. I will say this, they stayed with the Bruins. Give it to Brock Nelson for being in on all 3 goals, and Maxim Tsyplakov is playing well. Ilya Sorokin gave up 5 goals on 25 shots, that's no good, NO GOOD AT ALL, and as usual, they left him unprotected, and like I said before, the Islanders need to protect Sorokin before he goes Billy Smith on the opposition, especially when it comes his "spot." The Bruins were slumping badly until last 🌙. After the game, Patrick Roy said that he ❤ the guys, but it's not his fault, LOU LAMORIELLO GAVE HIM THE TEAM TO WORK WITH. He's going to work like a 😈 with them, and keep working them like 🐕. They should ✋️ make mistakes like stupid penalties. Hero, Brock Nelson for being on all goals. 🐐 the defense again. Oliver Wahlstrom's struggling again, and playing on the 4th line isn't helping his cause with a -5. Patrick Roy's been hearing that Wahlstrom's a good finisher, but he has yet to 👀 it. Something tells his days are numbered. He needs to either PUT UP OR SHUT UP. Hear from you later, Gil, and LET'S GO ISLANDERS.
We need draft pick who care for eight playoff spot we going no place…..happy Thanksgiving everyone
man did everyone catch roy's comments after game …"this is the team Lou put in front of me"..either roy or Lou going…they obviously hate each other …happy thanksgiving Gil…thank you for the channel…how many of those goals against was robber on the ice for man…seemed like every one and there were some bad breakdowns by d….why were robber and Romanov behind the net in the trapezoid for god sake
Happy Holiday Gil
The effort is there ! But they cant afford any mistakes . The margin of error is small . Injuries have hurt them as well ! Thanks Gil , Happy Thanksgiving to all ! LGI !
Happy Thanksgiving, Gil! "Paging Jon Ledecky and Scott Malkin……"
Long, long time suffering fan of the Isles (late 70's). Looks like the suffering will continue. The team lacks any identity whatsoever. Is it the players, the coaching? We all know about the management… I recall some people rejoicing when Trotz was fired, wonder how they feel now? Got my hopes up, coming back twice in this game but same old story. Truly disappointing.
Can't have players play this long together and not win it all… These guys are just going through these games like it's a job they hate doing.The owners don't seem to care and the game has past by this GM 10 yrs ago..Your the best Gil but these episodes are a broken record about now and this team is to blame..
Happy Turkey Day Gil! I’m surprised how bad Dobson has looked this year. Major step backwards. He was supposed to be our offensive minded puck carrier. Now he looks more like Mayfield. I guess he needs Chara back to show him how to play again. I hate that I love THIS team so much.
Happy Thanksgiving team! Yesterday, traveled to Portland Maine, so I listened to yesterday's episode on the road. Gil, I was really hopeful for this game against Boston. When, in my eyes, the Islanders were outplaying Boston, I never gave up hope, but outplaying isn't enough. Even going down 2-0, the Islanders showed they were the better team on the ice. The puck has got to make it into the net though. Enough said. We all saw the game, and we know what happened.
Everyone have a great day! Happy Thanksgiving! Stay safe. Have a good nap. See you all again tomorrow! Until then.. Let's Go Islanders!!
IMO Isles regressed from last season and the best case scenario would be to miss the playoffs, get younger, faster, and more skilled. What is the point of chasing a playoff spot in order to play the role of sacrificial lambs in the first round. Anywho wishing all a wonderful Thanksgiving, and hopefully nobody will be reaching into their medicine cabinets for Tums Chewy Bites before bedtime, it's enough that the Islanders consistently give us indigestion on nightly basis
Reminds me before wang came around, we were owned by three or four different companies. One owner really cared the other three could give a crap less. Just saying
“Rebuilding since 1985”
with too much of losing games lately with a GM and ownership not doing anything much it seems to improve the team. Happy Thanksgiving to all, hope things get better for The NY Islanders and for us NY Islanders fans!
We unfortunately are watching the complete collapse of this team, I wish it wasn't so, I have been a fan for a long long time. But facts are facts, even when players return it will not make much difference. Like I have said before please let the rebuild begin, not just a refresh but a rebuild, first to go needs to be Lou.
Time for Lou to retire. Get a new GM to start making line-up changes. Call it a re-tool or rebuild. This team needs a major shake up.
Lou needs to go asap
Happy Thanksgiving Gil, to you, yours and family!! I’d like to see Roy become the Gm—this team will break your heart with or without Barzie and Duc—I’ve never seen a professional team do this in my lifetime—last year and this year it’s sad. Funny, GM’s job seems rock solid. That’s a head scratcher—ty owners!! Enjoy the day boys!!
Happy thanksgiving all !!
OMG im just watching the game now .CANT EVERYONE SEE THAT MAYFIELD IS A TRUE POS .HE SUXKS .HE CRASHED INTO OUR GOALIE AND THATS WHY THE 2ND GOAL WAS SCORED
Update ;
Omg this FUCKING BUM MAYFIELD HIT THE GOALIE AGAIN ON 4TH GOAL WTFFFFFFFFF WHY DONT THE ANNOUNCERS CALL OUT THIS WORTHLESS BUUUUMM
Happy Thanksgiving Gil. Roy is the future. Lou needs to go. We need a younger more dynamic GM to work with Patrick. LGI
I saw Romanov try a lazy chip at the slot and it was blocked and passed and bang it was in the net. There is not enough intensity too many times and it could have happened any time but it is typical.
