The New York Islanders had a rough first period but played well the rest of the way before falling to the Los Angeles Kings 3-1. While the loss was disappointing and the team failed to bury some good chances, we explain why this is a loss the Islanders can build on. If they play this way every game, they will win more games than they’ll lose.
We have our hero and goat of the game plus injury updates on Anthony Duclair, Adam Pelech and Scott Mayfield.
Plus, we have our weekly Farm Report on all things Bridgeport Islanders after the Isles AHL affiliate suffered through another difficult week.
All this and more on today’s Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.

Too much to expect isles to run off 5 game winning streak with no sot w's. Isles just beaten by a better team in first in pacific. Only 20 sog-tuff this lousy offense to score with only 20 sog. Tuff to w with only 1 g with g coming from the usual combo of 29, 21, 27 line. At least sp. teams were perfect. Now back to back hawk games. And 29 not playing well. May not have the tdl interest hoped for. The held on to 29 too long syndrome louzer gm's have. And farm report is too depressing. Just ahl'ers with fringe nhl hopes is it. Just hope eisermann keeps scoring at bu.
Also lw j. nuermi has 4 g 10 a 14 pts. in 25 g getting third line minutes on loaded london ohl team.
Gil,I’ll tell u one thing. We don’t need Reilly anymore,we have cholowski and his +12. Everyone knew Hutton was a better clone of mayfield just three years younger and better in every faucet of the game. Of course except for senile Lou who gave smiley seven years. It’s nice to see guys who were buried in the ahl finally given a chance and play pretty well. We can look to Boston with wotherspoon too.
I will believe in team whan I see that Lou is gone otherwise you giving yourself lots of stress and nobody need that…….Lee is good now so now is time to let him go in few weeks he will be dead cold… LGI
The 3rd period was best offensive push I've seen all year ! First period not so much ! But maybe confidence boost !
The 2 game winning streak is over lol , the Kings are on the Grind, I watch the 1st and the Kings where in the islanders Ozone way too long and to much for me, I stopped watching, same old story, can’t imagine the frustration Patrick Roy goes through, thanks Gil !!!
Well said Anders Lee has stepped it up !
loss is a loss…not much time (at least for this season) to build on losses..we need to string together five wins in a row or so for me to even poke my head out…if it wasn't for the rangers melting down then we wouldnt even be thinking a playoff spot possible here…rough game for George…rough game for wally…the other thing Gil is im not sure what im even rooting for you…agree with you if barzie , duke back shot to win playing like that…but am I even rooting for us to make playoffs and give Lou vindication to quadruple down on this squad..I feel as sad as it is we need to tank..also not to be lost is that we always seem to play backup goalies and still find way to lose
Good 🌄 Gil, how are you? The Islanders' baby winning streak is over, but the Islanders gave them a hard ⏲️. They fell behind early, but they went toe to toe and stayed with them. They had their chances, but they held them off. Anders Lee got the only goal. He's looking great so far, and he's 34 years old, and he's living up to the Captaincy. You're right, Gil, they can't say when the Duke and Barzy to come back, they need to step up until. They can build on last 🌙 loss. The Islanders lost Scott Mayfield to an illness. Hopefully, he'll be ready for tomorrow's game against Chicago. I hope Varly's ready, too. Hero, Anders Lee, and Ilya Sorokin. 🐐, Isiah George for making some ugly mistakes, and Patrick Roy gave him the rest of the 🌙 off. I still have to remember he's only 20 years old. Alexander Romanov threw a monster hit. Anthony DuClair skated in the morning team practice. Bridgeport is looking more and more like the parent club every day. Sorry to say it, but it's true. HAPPY 🎂, JP PARISIE. He wore #12 when Duane Sutter was still in Juniors. He scored the goal that made Islander Ranger rivalry what it is today. RIP, JP 1941-2015. Hear from you later, Gil, but before I go, 2 things. 1. I listened to that game on YouTube, and 2. I 👀 2 periods of game 2 of the quarterfinals between the Islanders and The Bruins. The Bruins thought they were run the Islanders out of Boston, let alone Boston Garden. They had the game on Ch. 9, and it also on a tape delay. The Bruins still had their big bad reputation; however, as we know, THE JOKE WAS ON THEM. Now, LET'S GO ISLANDERS.
Good morning team! Gil, I have to admit. To me, the Islanders looked like they held their own against the Kings. This team seems to love ringing the post and crossbar. I couple of lucky bounces of the puck, and who knows. Sorokin certainly played well enough the win, or at the very least, squeak out a point in this one. Alas, they did lose the game. A loss is a loss. We have to pick up the pieces and play the next game. Thank you for what you do, Sir. Looking forward to the show tomorrow. Everyone, have a great day! See you all again tomorrow. Until then.. Let's Go Islanders!!
Gm Gil. They lost to a faster and more skilled team. The Kings were unrelenting in their pressure and play a type of hockey the Isles are not able to match. What bothers me is that when this same roster shows up next year they will struggle that much more. Again, the Isles were unable to put more than 1 goal on the board. years from now no one will remember the effort. They will remember the score.
LA sports fan who saw the Dodgers play at CitiField and will see the Rams come to MetLife later this month. Kings 👑 @Islanders 🏝 last night was very entertaining, tough test for LA's 6th straight win, memorable 1st time at UBS arena, recommend the kosher tenders and fries 👍🏼
Back in the '80's we used to chant "Shoot the puck Barry" at the Rangers Captain … well, we need to bring that back for this team … We are a pass first, shoot third team … that, my friends, is coaching … when Dennis Cholowski passed the puck on an open shot break my entire section screamed … want to know why we don't score? Mr. Gretzky said it best .. "You don't score on 100% of the shots you don't take!" SHOOT THE PUCK!!!!
Romanov is a beast. Love him. Loved the hit.
Everyone was all over Lee last year. Fans asking to trade him. Kudos to Lee with the solid season.
Lou has to go and get a GM who will make trades for skilled fast and younger players Bottom line!
Like i said in my last comment I hoped for a point in this game. Did not like the match up. I am good with last nights result. Need to get minimum 3 points against the Hawks. LGI
