GDT #38 New York Islanders @ Toronto Maple Leafs | December 31st | 1:00 PM | F/3-1 L

[GOLFWANG]

Trade expiring contracts, get whoever is hurt healthy play whoever wants to hustle and play and make the team next season

 

[Zeeker]

The regulation loss is fine, but at this point even if we do sell Nelson, the price is going down game by game

Gotta love how somehow the Leafs do nothing wrong all game. 4 penalties to 1 despite us controlling possession for a good portion of the game.

yawn.

 

[The Real JT]

Saw last 6 minutes. Pretty sure this is a AHL team.

Well we don’t have one of those so it fills a need I guess.

 

[SRBisles]

Leaving the net empty there is idiotic

 

[Arsenalogist24]

Nelson, I’m sorry but all I can think is he’s checked out. Knows the move is on

 

[MJF]

Oy Patrick!

Listening to the game on TSN 1050 with the Isles firing blanks in the third was quite a pain, now officially another loss.

Hopefully 2025 gets better for the Isles, with the Leafs coming up in 2 days at Elmont.

Happy New Year Everyone

Leaving the net empty there is idiotic

If they lose the draw, the game is over anyway. At least it made the last few seconds interesting.

 

[Chockey22]

Leaving the net empty there is idiotic

But maybe he'll be our new GM with such out of the box thinking

 

[Satan'sIsland81]

Shorthanded for 4 of the last 5 minutes of the game and we still could have tied it if Nelson buried a breakaway.

 

[duster19]

Maybe pull the goalie again. Works everytime. Roy fast becoming a very stubborn coach that does not appear to know how to get the most out of this roster. Has an idea how things should go and does it regardless of outcome.

 

[MJF]

We did some good things out there.

 

[scottywiper]

Funny how they've scored 4 EN goals in two games they were no chance of winning. And not looked likely outside of that.

 

[duster19]

Shorthanded for 4 of the last 5 minutes of the game and we still could have tied it if Nelson buried a breakaway.

It’s pathetic. These guys have no idea how to win. Veterans too. They make the dumbest mistakes. There absolutely had to be a message sent to this roster. It is a horrible culture in the room. These guys are so comfortable. Like Adam Pelech should never see the ice again. He’s been brutal for years now. Just keeps getting pumped out there. That play he made in the 3rd and to take that penalty is inexcusable. But when you flick pucks up the middle of the ice in double OT to lose a series and there are 0 consequences what can you expect.

And that is Brocknever 2024

Guess we are rebuilding like you all want, this positive always bullshit is what rebuilding teams do.

 

[Green]

By the team NYI re-tools and is ready to contend Sorokin with have 1-2 years left. They’d be better off trading him now for a bigger haul to jump start the re-tool.

What should happen but of course isn't

He once was that two years ago you can say, I don’t know what happened since

He got his pay day

 

[Arsenalogist24]

Yeah I really don’t know what to say to that face off before the ENG. Maybe one last F U Lou before the new year

 

[MJF]

Guess we are rebuilding like you all want, this positive always bullshit is what rebuilding teams do.

What exactly do you want out of this bunch? They’re no good.

 

[Big L]

These guys are dumb. They do some really stupid shit quite often. They’re just not smart players.

 

[MJF]

Isles have lost 10 more games than they’ve won. They’re probably the same distance from last in the league as they are from the last wild card spot. Why would anyone not want to re-something this team, starting with relieving the GM tonight so his replacement could have a chance to make the kind of changes he wants by the TDL?

 

[gordie43]

Why does anyone ask Roy about Engvall? His presence is doesn’t make a difference. The power play sucks and the d is soft

 

[Satan'sIsland81]

I dont think a single person would have thought we would be in 7th in the division on New Years Eve and the one team worse than us would be the Rags.

 

[Zeeker]

Why would anyone not want to re-something this team

Lou: “rerun it back you say! Say less fam”

 

[scottywiper]

The great thing as an Isles fan is if they are down one in dying minutes you know they're cooked. But if they're up one you also know they're certain to concede. It's like the PK and PP. You expect the worst and remarkably they never disappoint.
