Roy sucks
Let's go Islanders! Great show, Gil!
I understand this team is the 5th oldest team in league. These are the oldest teams in the league, Wash. Minn. Pitts. Winnipeg and the oldest Edmonton. What do they all have in common. They all can go deep in the playoffs. The reason I brought this up is even if your team is old, if you have skilled players on the team you can win games. This team is talentless and unartful and that is the reason we are not going to the playoffs.
I think its just they didn't play anyone tough enough I don't see Gatcomb or Zeeker fighting and Lee rarely fights and hit his yearly quota last week. Ironically think JGP would fight before most of that lineup.
Preach brother Gil! Did anyone stand up for rookies Isahia George or Tsyplikov or many other incidents? Nope. I have never bought this is high character locker room. If they were they would defend each other & give consistent effort. They might be nice, harmless, weak men but not high-character. Lou is only GM to set as soft roster, other organizations were loading up. Wyatt Newpower, first year AHL Isle is only legit fighter in organization. Probably not making big club next year. Could have traded for Xhekaj (Mon) and/or Oliver (CBJ). Try to get Leonard from Caps & I am fine with Barzy for Brady Tkchuck trade.
Yes Gil we need youth asap. Finely and Cole are going to be solid! We just need to offload these guys in there 30s in the summer offseason

We Should have kept Ross Johnson
I've seen it too many times , the isles dont stick up for their teammates. No enforcer ! There has to be consequences ! Good job Gil ! LGI !
That's what you get for keeping Martin out of the lineup!
Gil – Its called swiss cheese. We have holes everywhere. This team is full of talk with ZERO back up. We don’t stick up for each other. Same thing happened with George with Domi. We can’t score. Power play is horrible. You don’t need any skill to stick up for a teammate. As a fan of 40 years I’m getting very frustrated and tired of watching this and keep listening to all the BS talk from the coach, players and GM. This team is NOT fun to watch. We need an enforcer. Period. Get Tanner Jeannot. We are going to have young players coming up – there better be a guy who is going to protect them.
By the way we don’t want to make the playoffs. None of the fans want to crawl in and then get blown out the first round. We want LOU to be forced to make some moves and that starts with his belief in the players out the window. He would have kept this exact team together. Its outrageous. Not one hockey mind in america thinks this is a playoff team – one that can go deep. I hope we lose every game the rest of the year.
Lou has to go
Good 🌄, Gil. How are you? This is the 2nd ⏲️ that the Islanders failed to have a teammates back when it counted. 1st, it was Isiah George, now, it's Adam Boquist. The Islanders of old would be go after that Fiallo with blood in their eyes, short of dropping their gloves, inciting a possible bench clearing brawl. They had Jethro, a reluctant enforcer, but an enforcer nevertheless. They need a big brother. Yes, they getting beat down in LA, but they still could've stood up for Boquist. Who are the Islanders play against Edmonton Friday 🌙, or even for the rest of the season for that matter. They could Scott Perunovich, or Mike Reilly, but can his ❤ can take it. I'd go with Romanov. We'll 👀 what the Islanders are going to do. Yes, they need, youth, speed, physical, and experience. I knew there was some tension between Lou Lamoriello and Patrick Roy. Keep Patrick Roy, and drop Lou Lamoriello faster than a bad habit. Cole Eisernman is doing fine at BOSTON UNIVERSITY. He scored 20 goals, and so is Quinn Finley at the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN. He scored 20 goals, and 20 assists for 40 points. Finley should stay in 🏫 for more conditioning, or until he declares a major, whichever comes 1st, AND THAT GOES FOR EISERNMAN, TOO. HAPPY 🎂, Paul Cruise. He scored a 2 goals in win against the 🐧. Hear from you later, Gil, but before I go, I must say these things, 1. It was good to know that the Islanders are the 1st and only the based in the 🇺🇸 to win the Stanley Cup 3×. Of course, we all know they'd do it again next year. 2. I always said that on The 🌙 Before 🎄 Eve Game that on Trots 2nd goal, there was some revenge leading up to it because Boss was on a breakaway, and would've scored if it weren't for Talifous, and adding insult to injury, Bruce Hood didn't make a call. We'll, after play went back into the Islander end, Trots put one of those Trots type into hits on Talifous as if to "THAT WAS FOR BOSS," and the rest rest is history. They could've gone after Fiallo, but they could've been clean about it. One more thing, Good SQUAD SHOW Podcast. Now, LET'S GO ISLANDERS.
it was a clean hit…but yes, need a response…softest islanders team in memory
How many times has Sorokin been wacked in the crease after he covers up the puck.
No muscle on this team..
