A 6-5 loss would be extremely refreshing

for anyone else probably….but the isles would be up 5-0 and find a way to lose 6-5

The literally only thing to try is to FIRE THE GM. The last thing you want is the GM who made this mess to have the green like to make more moves.

This is the way.

Barzal - no influence
Horvat - cannot find the net
Dobson - no impact at all
Martin - what the
Reilly - gone backwards
Cholowski - Yuck
Pulock - one of several D men who offered nothing offensively. In fact, it is all of them.
Brock - Brocktober was cancelled

maybe we’ll get a early holiday present.

One spot away from home sweet home

 

[periferal]

just got shutout by Elvis f***ing merzlikins

If the Lynbrook Owls played instead of the Isles tonight they wouldn't score either.

Doesn't mean Elvis f***ing merzlikins is that good.

 

[Chockey22]

I don’t think there’s anything for the coach to call out - I actually think they are playing as well and hard as they can - there is just no offensive talent here. You can yell at guys all day for not scoring, but they’re doing everything but score.

And no I don’t think Lou should be making a trade to try to turn things around. He needs to be fired and let the new GM make trades to revamp/rebuild

@WangMustGo

Not sure if possible, but if so I think it's time to change you handle to a new "must go" candidate...

 

[Green]

And I still won’t go because the price of parking will be 30x the ticket cost.

that's the least of it, it is getting there is such a pain in the ass, people have sucked it up these last few years because it is still a new building and the team had a chance of making the playoffs, but once that chance is gone and the novelty of the new arena is done, Isles will be getting bottom of the league beyond dreadful attendance

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

Losing to the rebuilding Anaheim team 2-1 on home ice and then losing to a rebuilding Columbus team the night after when I'd be pissed as hell 2-0 should lead to a lot of people being fired/traded but we'll do nothing

They are rebuilding and not to be morbid here and hate even having to say this, had their best player pass away in the offseason.

 

[scottywiper]

Not a 5 on 5 goal in 170 minutes too.
Going back to last year, 2 regulation wins in last 15 games?

 

[Top Corner]

Would love to get a show of hands on this, because I honestly think there are some who think, "Lou needs to make a move," without considering it's Malkin who needs to make the move.

There are probably a few stragglers who feel we are 1 player away lol but as a fan base, I think we agree, it’s time Lou hangs it up. If he stays, I’ve always felt we need to roll the dice and pull the trigger on a huge deal that may work or go sideways but we need something different than rolling out primarily the same lineup every year.

 

[chico19341]

Sabres on Friday! Whom hasn’t scored?

 

[DerekKingSnipes]

This has been same game pretty much all ten games, they have really played well enough to win probably all of them but there is no scoring and the PK has been abysmal. I really thought this was going to be a pretty good team but things are going to have to change soon.

Who’s your target GM Perif? because I know we don’t want the nepotism choice.

 

[Nassau Revisited]

Snow and Lou what a combo

 

[periferal]

maybe we’ll get a early holiday present.

Just make sure you get on Santa's lap early and be perfectly f***ing clear what you want. Because I'm here to tell you that there are too many Isles fans whose "holiday present" would be Lou trading next year's 1st for yet another middle-6 forward who won't move the needle towards getting this team closer to a Cup.

 

[Top Corner]

Maybe Lou calls Colorado to talk about grit for skill

Islanders.

Perhaps it’s time for a roster shakeup a bit, they have played overall ok though and really if they could kill a penalty and score twice in most games they’d probably have won 7 or 8 of these games.

As the buffer screams “it’s time!”

You’re not wrong lol.

Every deal that Lou makes only pushes back the timeline of when this team can be Cup contenders again.

Lou is lost. Totally lost. It was Trotz that covered up some big holes not only in the roster, but in the front office as well.

Now Lou is exposed for the average (at best) GM that he is. The only thing that can stop the bleeding is getting him out of the organization entirely. No "advitory" role or anyting - Totally f***ing removed.

Every year the same refrain is “if we just improve to league average at special teams we’ll be fine…”
