GDT: #22| New York Islanders @ Philadelphia Flyers| November 24th | 4:00 PM | F/OTW 5-4

[Benedict Kovalchuk]

NBC broadcast calling Clutterbuck out MVP for tonight, says it all doesn't it?

 

[13th Floor]

Come on. Let's get a PP goal before the period.

 

[SI90]

Amazing how good this team can look and then how PATHETIC they can look. Is there another team that is more Jekyll & Hyde in the NHL than the Isles?

It’s pretty crazy. Jekyll & Hyde is 100%

 

[Big L]

What’s with JT? Had a stretch of a few great games, sandwiched by invisibility.

Yeah - I wish Nelson, Beau, Chimera, Ladd, etc were also sandwiches. Instead they're just one thin slice of Spam.

The problem is that other teams know how to shut down JT...The Flyers are doing a great job at keeping our top 3 silent. We need to change up the lines and mess around with their plans

 

[BelovedIsles]

Yep I’ll echo that. He has had a few points sprinkled in; he looks slightly better than he did to start the year. Eg giving up on plays, losing pucks, less sharp. He’s not controlling play like he did for that two week stretch.

That said he made an amazing play Weds that will buy him some avg playing time from me.

 

[SI90]

Damn!! f*** shit

 

[Benedict Kovalchuk]

Well, that was sure a brutal period wasn't it?

 

[islesfan186]

Need a big 3rd. That whole period was just gross

 

[periferal]

Given the 2nd I'll just settle for any 3rd.

 

[BrockLobster]

Not their best period of the season...

 

[ekill08x]

It's like the same things plague this team every single night and if the offense isn't clicking we don't have a chance

 

[periferal]

I would trade a lot of prospects/picks for a top pair/puck-moving D-man who can control play. That would change so much with this team. To me easily the most glaring need.

 

[Groin Of Bates]

So are we blaming Greiss at all today or is it still all Halak's fault?

Couldn't agree more we don't have a single top pairing defender on this team.

 

[Kevin27NYI]

We can still come back

 

[IslesNorway]

Isles have looked so sloppy tonight. Better tighten up in the 3rd

 

[Benedict Kovalchuk]

For me, it's Nabokov's fault.

 

[periferal]

This is one of those games that would be such an unnecessary loss assuming it happens. The Isles brought all of it on themselves. If they play tighter, smarter, and with more effort they'd be winning.

 

[Satan'sIsland81]

It is getting to the point where our goaltending situation is going to have to be addressed. I dont care what anyone says, we are legitimately at a point where this is an otherwise elite team that being held back by our goalies. Greiss has been horrendous today, I dont care what any of you say. It does not matter what kind of goals they are or what someone else did, you simply CANNOT allow 4 goals on 17 shots. That is not NHL caliber, let alone for a team that is otherwise proving it can score with anybody. Greiss has allowed at least 3 goals in just about every game, this guy is not a number 1 for a contending team.

 

[BillD]

29% on face offs tonight.
And now 5 straight periods without a shot on F'ers. Is Couturier that good a defensive center?
Wake up JT.

 

[SI90]

Ladd pissed. Wants blood. Anyone’s blood.

 

[Satan'sIsland81]

We have Thomas Sieve Greiss and Jaro cant stop a beach ball Halak and you guys are worried about JT? The second leading goal scorer in the NHL? Are you people that clueless?

 

[PWJunior]

Ridiculous, Manning needs an ass beating.
