GDT: GDT #24 New York Islanders @ Washington Capitals | November 29th | 3:00 PM | F/OTL 5-4

[MJF]

Welp, we haven’t been shut out in a while, so there’s that.

 

[The Real JT]

Dobson needs to move into Boychuk’s basement.

Seidenberg’s. His wife is a smoke show.

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Fourth and fifth goal on Dobber.

Need a “place your bets” chant at UBS next game when we go up 3-1 and puck drops to start the third

I think you’re onto something.

Dobson still plays like a boy. Maybe the missus can make him a man.

 

[scottywiper]

Dobson has one EN goal and a shit tonne of egregious defensive errors this season.
His demise is sad and unexpected
Barely deserves a game right now

Is anyone left there to start a chant?

Plays most minutes on d every night I think.

It’s a heck of a strategy to go to OT all the time and absolutely suck in OT.

The only thing worse than OT? The shootout
Not nearly enough speed or skill on this team
Shootouts since the one man band Frans?

PP can’t even gain the zone without Barzal?
Only one player on the roster that can carry the puck and gain the zone? That’s either criminally bad roster construction or coaching, or both?

 

[Kevin27NYI]

I just moved to Queens and was gonna buy a 10 game package.

Was.

 

[Bones45]

Youngblood

Ms. McGill could teach him a thing or too. Certainly help his scoring.

 

[scottywiper]

It was nice of Dobson to give Chychrun an escort to goal. I mean what the f*** was he doing. And then he limply pokes towards pick at last second.
Nelson looked pretty angry about it too.

Plays most minutes and barely contributes a point. Great

 

[MarsTBOW]

Horvat and Lee both +4

 

[Isles Junkie]

is this the stupidest season we've ever had?

Well. I thought nothing could top the stupidity of last season. And yet here we are!

 

[crashthenet]

Dobson should not be here next year. I don't mean season. I mean January 2025. Atrocious.

Caps are one of the best offensive teams in the league. Why have three suspect defenders in the line-up? George is having his ups and downs as expected but how do we get caught with George, Dobson, Faschng and Martin out there together at the 15 minute mark of the 3rd? Coaches unraveling?

Holmstrom continues to impress.

Wahlstrom as useless as Fasching. Pathetic watching him get run down from behind like a crippled zebra. After Roy's comments I figured he was the scratch. They said it was Martin during the broadcast before JGP went down. Rather have 7 D.

Lee was completely out of gas. Why does he start the OT?

 

[Chockey22]

Glad I missed this one due to work, although it sounds like a lot like the other games I have been able to watch this season.

 

[Throttle]

Nelson looked pretty angry about it too.

Dobson is just weak. Mentally and physically. The way he’s been exposed since the beginning of last season tells me teams know how to play him.

Paying Dobson 70 point player money will be egregious. He’s barely making his coin now. He’s probably cost the Isles 7+ points so far this season. He’s been a routine piece of the never ending losing games when having the lead.

 

[PhysicalGraffiti]

The Dobson downward spiral arc has been extremely sad. It's all the more painful with the expectations after last season

The third period collapses are becoming laughably predictable.

 

[IslesNorway]

The game was lost the five seconds into the third. How on earth is it possible to take such a stupid penalty??

He definitely isn't feeling Roy's system and is second guessing himself a lot

 

[Sparksrus3]

68 days until pitchers and catchers

 

[CupHolders]

is this the stupidest season we've ever had?

With DVR and streaming services I have been able to consistently follow the Isles over the years.

This year I have already missed more games than I have in the past twenty. Even if I can watch it on delay, I often don’t.

I didn’t even bother to see if there was a game last night. Just checked the scores this morning and watched the recap for the laughs.

Since last year I have increasingly become disinterested in the Isles and the NHL in general. Maybe a major change would get me interested again, but I’m not so sure…
