Why is this still open when it's demonstrably false? They've lost 7 games in regulation all season and this thread claims that they've lost 9 in regulation while leading in the 3rd.
NYI are 1-9-4 with a 3rd period lead

Really strange since defense and goaltending are supposedly the Isles’ bailiwick.
I mean, having 3 fourth lines has gotta prevent some GA right…right??

I know HFB wants to fire every coach after any loss, but team is 10-7-7.
That is not remotely close to firing territory.

Maybe when Trotz was coaching. He left and took the defense with. Surprising since Lambert was with him for so many years. Coaching matters.
It is when you consider the many in which they got here. They give games away and find ways to lose instead of just getting flat out beat. There’s a difference. It’s most definitely a coaching problem. Yes, the team can use more firepower but again they don’t play a winning brand of hockey right now.
Because leafs are allowed to troll the isles. If he had the right numbers it would make it worth discussing because blown leads have been a major issues so far for the isles.

Well, I hear ya. I think both our franchises miss Trotz and his annoying (lol) defensive system. Letting him walk was a historic mistake on our part and wasted any last chance for Ovi and our core to compete.
Was it Brazal that wanted him gone in NY, cause he wanted more offense?

There were rumors Barzal wasn’t a fan but also rumors that Trotz was going to go back to Nashville after his contract (1year remaining) and the isles liked lambert. They “fired” Trotz so he could get paid for the year and named Lambert HC rather than lose him.
All the players seem to love lambert even from his minor league days. I’m sure he’s a great guy but this is the pros they don’t need a best friend they need a guy who knows what he’s doing and knows how to lead them and make them better. Or at the very least a competent coach.

Same situation with Reirden after Trotz left DC. Rumors that the players always liked him better and didn’t need Trotz.
Welp, these Trotz assistants clearly aren’t the real thing unfortunately.

If blown leads are an issue let's talk about that. Again, the thread title is false, the premise is false. It's not debatable. We can all look up the numbers. Why hasn't this been locked?
Wildly incorrect, where'd you get your numbers?

Im an isles fan and I don’t mind it being left open. Just change the title I guess to reflect the truth. Either way, it has been a problem it’s fair to discuss

The Sharks are sooo bad that an OT-loss against them is the equivalent of 5 regulation-losses…

For anyone too lazy to look it up, they are actually 9-1-4 when leading at the start of the 3rd.
According to morehockeystats, Islanders have lost 10 games while leading. 5 games after leading by 1, 3 games after leading by 2, and 2 games after leading by 3+.
So I don't see how they could be 1-9-4 with a 3rd period lead, which not only implies 13 thrown leads, which is 3 more than they have, but also implies that all those thrown leads were in the third period, which surely is also not true.

Makes sense. Islanders have only 3 wins while trailing. One of the worst comeback teams in the league. So the vast majority of their wins have to come from when they're leading instead.

Not horrible, granted, but not too great either.
Certainly in a better spot than the Oilers were when they canned their coach.
Btw, 10-7-7 is not a good record. Don't be fooled by NHL's atrocious and misleading point system that arbitrarily creates parity.

And they're in a wild card spot this morning! Heck, the Bruins with a late lead make me hold my breath, and they're running away in the Atlantic(at the moment).

It's wild the Isles have 3 more regulation wins than the Leafs. What's going on with them?
Yeah, they're 10-14. Only in the NHL can you be that bad but be in playoff position.
Yeah, with a 2-or-0 point system they'd be 7th in Metro.
And with a 3-point system, Islanders, Capitals, Devils, and Penguins would each be tied at 35 points. That's what I'd prefer, to be honest. Although I guess the idea is to punish teams less for losing in OT. But why reward teams as much as usual for winning in OT, then?
