GDT: R1:G2 | New York Islanders @ Carolina Hurricanes | April 22nd | 7:30 PM | F/5-3 L

[Nassau Revisited]

How many big games has Dobson been 100% responsible for a critical goal against?

My lord.

Dobson and Barzal were pathetic tonight. Intact only 2 players came to play Maclean and Varly

 

[IslandersGER]

I told you earlier, most Carolina fans are inbreeds. I once was driving down to Texas and a guy with a Aho jersey in Carolina said to me at gas stop "I would like you to meet my wife and my Sister" And there was only one girl standing there.

lucky man, normally it's his wife and mother

 

[MarsTBOW]

I mean at some point, Defense will be played?

Tonight it was optional....
Content to just flub it out of the zone.
If Defense is to be played the way it should be there needs to be some puck possession.
I have never seen a worse performance than this in the 2nd and 3rd periods...

 

[seafoam]

Full tear down to draft Hagens.

 

[PK Cronin]

Horvat and Palmieri were the only two of the top six to show up at all. Everyone else was MIA again. MacLean was the best forward for the team tonight.

Dobson is too soft, Pelech is a mess, not much else to say.

 

[Glorydays22]

Seriously, we need to stop the pain....let's lose the next 2 games and just f***ing turtle all offseason.

 

[DerekKingSnipes]

Let's see how they respond. Every time I've buried this team they've pulled out of the depths this year. See if we got one more rabbit in the hat.

This one is pretty devastating, they didn’t deserve as they were throughly outplayed but to lose it like that up 3-0 just not sure you recover from that.

 

[islesfan186]

It’s the Stadium Series 2.0.

I have watched 2 games since that game. The game vs the Devils when they clinched and then this debacle.

The Stadium Series broke me. This game just pissed all over the remaining pieces

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

I'm embarrassed even being mildly associated with this team as a fan.

I haven't been less excited for an Islanders game 3 and 4 since the mid-2000s series' against the Senators and Sabres.

 

[The Lighthouse]

It's frustrating that, while realizing this team is not exactly a group of world beaters on paper, after grabbing a 3-0 lead they could've and should've kept up the tenacity and showed some of that pride in the group they've earned at the end of the season. Come home with the 1-1 split even if it wasn't pretty. But they just didn't.

 

[MarsTBOW]

How many big games has Dobson been 100% responsible for a critical goal against?

My lord.

Dobson looks very sore.
Barzy looks like the moment is too big as much as I hate to say it.

 

[Zeeker]

Seriously, we need to stop the pain....let's lose the next 2 games and just f***ing turtle all offseason.

I just realized… Lou’s secrecy and waiting to make moves until the end of the offseason is the front office equivalent of turtling

 

[RWWallpaper]

I’ve been watching Hockey for about 45 years now and I don’t ever remember seeing a team get dominated like this one does for stretches that go on for over 20 or 30 minutes… It’s really mind-boggling

 

[NittanyIsle]

This one is pretty devastating, they didn’t deserve as they were throughly outplayed but to lose it like that up 3-0 just not sure you recover from that.

You go home. You change your goalie. You get the crowd behind you.

This is playoff hockey man, no babies allowed. They either sack up or we golf. Got two days to stew over this.

We've been 6 feet under 4 times this year and they've pulled something out of it.

 

[periferal]

Full tear down to draft Hagens.

Do you really mean that or just venting/joking?

 

[MJF]

What a bunch of nutless wonders. They let the Canes come at them wave after wave without ever trying to counter attack.

 

[Zeeker]

Barzy looks like the moment is too big as much as I hate to say it.

I got told I was making things up in the Barzal thread

 

[Lek]

This one is pretty devastating, they didn’t deserve as they were throughly outplayed but to lose it like that up 3-0 just not sure you recover from that.

i do not think so either.....they are done. I will watch, have for ever....but they are done.

On a side....there is definitely something up with Barzal....does not look remotely right skating.

 

[NittanyIsle]

Do you not remember what we did to the caps round 1 of the bubble?

 

[Chockey22]

Thoroughly outplayed tonight; didn't deserve any other outcome. I honestly don't think they sat back and stopped pressing - they are just that much worse than the Canes

 

[Our Lady Peace]

Neutral fan here coming to say what everyone on the main board yanking off the Canes won't. You can call the Isles whatever you want for whatever they did... But the Canes are the softest crybaby team out there right now - and I usually like that team.

Canes should be crushing the Isles with that roster of theirs but they just flop around way too much to even respect such a win. I'm not usually the guy to complain about that, but it's blatant with Carolina and it's trash.

 

[crashthenet]

Didn't realize Nelson was playing tonight until the empty netter.

Screw Pelech and Dobson. So physically weak. Canes hit Pulock every chance they got. Only right side D man of consequence we have. Bortuzzo going down gave Varly little chance on that goal. Pelech picking up his stick on goal three and Dobson getting out muscled on goal four.

Holmstrom. Why second line? He couldn't handle it at all.

Sitting back with a 3-0 lead. Good plan.

JGP lost every face off on the PP on the right side.

 

[PeteRFNY]

Not to pile on, but as I just said to the missus, this team was terrible to infinity finishing games all year. I dont know why we expected anything different in the postseason.

 

[Green]

there's still a small chance to win the home games and force deciding game 7

There is 0% chance, what the Isles did at the end is a sign of a team that has given up, if I was in a state where betting was legal I would empty my bank account and put it on the Canes no matter what the odds are so I could at least get some money

 

[Chockey22]

Dobson looks very sore.

Yeah, Dobson is soft, but I think he still injured.
