GDT: GDT #66 New York Islanders vs Florida Panthers | March 16th | 7:30 PM | F/W 4-2

If this was jeopardy, the answer would be : Who is Vitek Vanecek?
The clue: The latest bum to outplay our "elite" 9 million dollar goalie.

We are outshooting 23-10 and generally outplaying them for most of the game and down 2-0. I don't know what else you guys would want the team to do. This happens far too often. Sorokin's tracking, movement, rebound control and reflexes have been dreadful again. Even the few shots he has stopped or the ones that have gone wide, he looks out of position on and everything is an adventure.
Meanwhile Vitek Vanecek, a below average goalie in every way, allows no rebounds and is in position on every shot.
The team LITERALLY CANNOT SCORE A GOAL and the answer is to blame Sorokin

Stupid franchise, stupid fans. You guys deserve to see this garbage product because we OBVIOUSLY blame the goalie when you can't score a goal against a literal trash goalie. But nah son. outshooting 23-10 and it isnt on the Forwards either. Where's Horvat and Palmieri? Team got no bite.
 
Quite incredible how their second goal went in, while we've had countless good shots just get enough of a deflection to miss.
That said, we've scored three goals in 11 periods, and haven't scored on at least our last 16 powerplays.
21 is so worth it for this playoff push

Definitely not worth the 2nd rounder
Which only reinforces how idiotic it was to keep not only 21, but 27 and 44 as well. To what end? I can watch a bunch of AHLers not score just as easily but at least we would have some draft or prospect capital for our trouble. This is utterly pointless hockey.

You act like the panthers goals were beautiful tic tac toe plays. They were garbage rebound and a weak deflection that should have been stopped.

Nobody is saying the team is good or they have offense. But this version of Sorokin from the past two years, you think that is an elite goalie? Honest question. You believe what you have seen from him the last two years is Vezina level? Because that is how he is being paid
 
Islanders losing and getting closer to a top draft pick, and Rangers lose to harm their playoff odds?

Today was a successful day
 
On an entirely different note, has this team ever won a game with Fuhring announcing a game? It seems like they lose every single time I hear his voice.
