We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

All 3 of them looked like they could care less on that goal. They all watched…

Another game with an opportunity to make a push for the playoffs and they flounder. Standard operating procedure unfortunately, and so was that game tying goal right after they took the lead followed by the OT breakdown.

Too focused on the offside call they thought was coming instead of actually playing the game. It wasn't even close either, not sure why Dobson reacted like that.

You do realize why a guy who can skate like that was a street free agent right?

The Pooch Report
1.) I will root for the team to win in the playoff race.
2.) It is probably better to just bottom out and miss.
3.) Regardless of what happens they need to continue trading off pieces for better skaters.
4.) One positive of making playoffs is it will likely mean an increase in trade value for some of our vets.

This was a highly winnable game.
On paper, that Calgary blueline without Weegar is one of the worst you're gonna see. And we once again got the "back-up" in net.
But they didn't take advantage of that.
The 2nd period was marred by poor puck and passing decisions, and several positional decisions as well. Where in all of God's great greeness was Pelech going on that 2nd Coronato goal? Everyone in the building knew a pass was coming, but Pelech was basically b-lining it straight to Dobson... Completely missed the boat there. And his obvious cross-check penalty while overzealously forechecking?... Not cool. Not cool at all.
After really poor games from Pageau and MacLean against Montreal, both played again this afternoon as if they were lacking condidence. MacLean's goal was big and may get him a bit straighter in his head but Pageau was, for my taste, mighty Badeau again today. He looks like he's just barely swimming. And it looks like he knows it.
Groin or no groin, if this is what Duclair is, I'll be shocked if we ever see a 15-15-30 season out of him on Long Island. Another 3 years to go. Yikes!
Right now, the guys I like seeing with the puck are Tsyplakov, DeAngelo, Holmstrom, Dobson, and Engvall. That's about it.
At least another point was collected. Gonna be a real hard game against CBJ on Monday.

I was briefly excited when Kyle MacLean scored the Isles third goal late in the third, but Huberdeau bursted my bubble very quickly. As for OT, I was frustrated that Calgary had the puck for most of the first half, but the Isles not burying goal mouth chances later on ultimately bit them in the end with Kadri's snipe past Hogberg.
the tying goal was frustrating, as there was no need for Hogberg to cover it for a faceoff; and they lost the crucial draw. I thought Romanov did a pretty good job of tying up Huberdeau, but that was a great tip on his part. I wish we had guys who could tip point shots- we seem to get very few of those.
As for the OT goal, not sure why Deangelo didnt pressure Kadri.

I’m on the fence about whether I’m rooting for wins or losses. I think they’ve pretty much played themselves out of the bottom 5, yet I also don’t have much faith they can earn a playoff spot. They likely just miss and end up with a mediocre draft position. Such is Islander life.

Good to hear Brock helping out the Isles as an Av.

Because he is an effing idiot. Dumb guys do dumb things. Get rid of him. A brutal screw up on goal one.
Dumb.
