Im going to game 3. Before we discuss the rebuild can we get thru game 3?

Sure, we will pick it up right after game 3...

Remember Anders... "It's all part of the Journey'
That's what he said when we got bounced out of the playoffs a few times!

Serious question...

Did you feel this way when the season started back in October (and/or did you feel like you could get to this point)?

I didn’t have high hopes, I didn’t think it would be this bad. Hiring my favorite player growing up was a really big upswing though.

 

[Tres Peleches]

I don’t think I can even watch game three. I might just pass and hope they win. If they do, I’ll have to repeat for the rest of the playoffs obviously, but if they lose at least it won’t ruin my night

 

[PWJunior]

Other fanbases merely adopted the pain. We were born in it, molded by it.

Very true. We've been through some shit, but we're still here. A new era please, rip off the bandaid. Let it breathe. Hagens wears Isles PK's, tank for him.

I'll pray for you, but instead of leaving it to chance you may want to take up that "rebuild" talk.

Silver lining...

NFL Draft during games 3 and 4 so us NFL fans will have a nice distraction.

hey @mods, that Fertek douche is DMing now too, didn’t respond and just reported but just wanted to give a heads up

 

[heatedskates]

Trouble is who can you legit trade or buyout given the term and salary. Nelson seems like one given a year left. Who takes Lee or Pag at their contracts?

Would have missing the playoffs been "better" or worse than what's happening in them for you?

Definitely will be watching the NFL draft Thursday.

Just keep reporting and don’t take the bait.

Start with Lou. He needs to be removed.

The worst part is there is zero chance the owners are going to go with a rebuild because of the new building, the stupid shopping center, the All Star game in 2 years, they are going to want some buzz and some chance at competiviness so for the next few years the Isles are going to keep on dragging this over the hill team that has hit a wall and probably trade more of the future to try and eek in the playoffs again

What about those of us who only follow hockey? I used to be a Yankees fan but grew out of baseball. Modern-day Survivor sucks too. Guess I’ll have to read a book or something…

 

[NYI365]

They're now 1-6 at CAR all time in the playoffs. We're 1-3 against them at home. 2-9 against CAR to date. Not great

They need free agents PERIOD

So much better, I want to turn the page and enjoy spring and be done watching hockey. I don’t watch any other teams closely. I keep up enough through my Eastside Hockey Manager work.

Also it’s a fairly deep first round, if we keep the pick.

Season isn’t over until NYR are eliminated

I hear you man. I wish, honestly wish, I didn't care about sports the way I do. I feel like I have no control.

That said you want a way out? Do something that makes sports look small. Go volunteer at a soup kitchen. Or visit a children's hospital. Whatever the isles do/don't do will feel tiny in comparison...And you'll feel so much better because you'll feel proud of yourself for doing so.

and 1-6 at home also

f*** that whiny ass fanbase, my Ranger fan friends are mega level annoying this season. You have the best team in the league yet you keep complaining about your “garbage” star players, f*** out of here.

Lol no! Dammit. Youre not in trouble until you lose a home game...."they" say
