No desperation, no urgency! Enough said. If the Isles do miraculously qualify for the playoffs, it'll be a quick exit! Changes are needed and I'd start with Anders Lee, penalty Pelech and Soucy!
Seriously. I’m thinking they should pull the goalie in the first period and try to build a lead before the smelling salts wear off. 3/4 of the game was played in their defensive zone.
I know there isn't anyone here who really believed that this team would win tonight. I didnt even give them a 1% chance to win. No heart at all left in this squad. Pretenders!!!
As a Mets fan as well this is giving me PTSD of their collapse last season. Have to win all 4 and with other teams having games in hand I do not feel good about this.
It was six shots through two periods and a portion of the third they didn't even get up to or close to 15 until they were desperate. It was like the two teams were from two different leagues especially through the first 2+ periods they were so much better than us it was ridiculous again it was like we were not even in the same league and we're certainly not in the same class. at times it seemed like the Islanders were a peewee or little league team against the Carolina Hurricanes particularly in the first half of the game. even though it was 2-2 and Roy just sat there and from all indications when they showed him right after TV timeouts because when he doesn't just sit there they show him talking to the team and he was just standing there cool as a cucumber they were out shot 36 to 6 everything's cool. i'm not saying panic but there's a problem that needs to be addressed he can show a little passion like he cares, or at least simply something.
And maybe if he played Shabanov instead of Druonin, Druonin didn't score for 30+ games in a row, maybe win an extra game or two at least if not more and be comfortably in the playoffs. It's not a talent issue it's an idiot coach issue. Again all they have to be is 8 out of 16 in the conference middle of the road they're talented enough to do that. and playing Sorokin 11th start in a row kind of ridiculous kinda not a good idea. I was good with four games in a row I didn't think that that was an issue I thought that that was over blown as a potential issue but there's a middle ground between four in a row and 11 in a row. And then what if we make the playoffs which won't happen but what if he'll be on fumes.
I had a gut feeling that the back to back losses to Ottawa and Montreal was the beginning of the end. In fact, they've been a disaster since that point. After the Flyers game, Anders Lee said "we have to find the energy somehow". I think that says at all. This team is completely out of gas. Of the six teams fighting for the final two playoff slots, over the last 10 games the Islanders are the coldest.
Think roy is making a big mistake by benching duclair. Made a big speech in mid-year, someone always steps up. Duke was big for that, esp when horvat went down. Benching lee barzal duclair was a bad move and then keeping duclair iced out. They also could have won that game and every point is needed right now.
I dread all the articles talking about the character and leadership of Isles. I want a massive roster purge this summer. I said all year its not a playoff team.
I’m glad I decided to check out on the season after last night. On one hand this is personnel related, they just could not lose another defenseman unless it was Mayfield or Soucy, and losing Deangelo was just too much. On the other hand this is a team that had been resilient all season and now appears flat and defeated. The team has given up on Roy, and that isn’t a good thing for him. If Cooper becomes available maybe he’ll be interested in a challenge with an old colleague. It’s not all Roy’s fault but he they have stopped playing for him. If they lose the next 4 there is no way it can be argued it’s all a personnel issue and he would have to go.
Barzal turnover making machine….I watched two periods can't watch no more 5 shot on gol in two periods ? it is not fair that we are still mathematically In hunt…this team needs major cleanup..,…it is impossible to be this bad……let's finish this 4 games and shot light off….🖕to all players… LGI

No fight in this team need a complete overhaul trade barzal this off season
That was unwatchable. Turned it off after 2 period. 4 days off to rest, practice and now have to win all 4 games.
Barzal on the second line has been a disaster
I figured they would lose this game. They only way they make the playoffs is that their competition collapses also.
15 shots…that is all that needs to be said.
Go to the playoffs like this . Not pretty
They tried. All the pieces aren't there yet. 2-3 more years. LGI
Barzal -3..Didnt realize that. He is not helping 1 bit. Vastly overrated.
Went tonight, Gil. Terrible effort!!!!
This is a coaching problem. Team isn’t prepared.

Brutal !

They are not good enough to be in playoffs.
Done ✔️

Just brutal
I'm not feeling LAHKED…:(
They are clearly not responding to Roy.

Embarrassing
15 shots on Goal is Pathetic

Theyve had me believing all season that they will make it. I guess my late nights of watching them is over till next season.
Please Islanders fans can you boycott this few home games ? ❤ PLEASE
