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

The NHL should move the Islanders to Arizona.

 

[BrockLobster]

Please explain, in detail, what your plan is for this supposed rebuild.

Ummm draft picks

 

[scottywiper]

The Nuggets saved my day

 

[Richie Daggers Crime]

Does Mathew Barzal bleed orange and blue? I doubt it.

 

[YearlyLottery]

What a terrible loss. I cannot even begin to break down just how awful that felt. I guess the silver lining here is what team that comes back down from 0-2 felt good when it was 0-2?

 

[Zeeker]

I am very emotional right now, so I'm just gonna say a bunch of stuff.

Not your best work tonight

Not your best work tonight

I was taking my cue from the Islanders.

 

[crashthenet]

The Nuggets saved my day

So much whining about the officials.

 

[PWJunior]

Man, last night f***ing sucked! Shit.

Would love for the boys to sack up and win Game 3, but not holding my breath.

 

[Tres Peleches]

I really wish Roy would be more proactive with his timeouts

Isles were getting ropeadpped in the third, call timeout and settle everyone fown

Please explain, in detail, what your plan is for this supposed rebuild.

Sure Mikey = BLOW IT UP no one is untouchable and everyone is expendable starting with the GM who IMO believes this group can compete sadly the window has closed on him and it closed on this group 3 years ago

As I said with the new arena and the all star game happening there is zero chance the owners are going to go with a rebuild, they are going to f*** this franchise for the next decade just to try and give some illusion of a competitive team to prevent the ticket sales from plummeting, but they will plummet in about 4 years when this is a dead franchise with no future and it will be a long and miserable rebuild and they could lessen the damage if they start it now but there is no chance of that happening

What you wrote is VERY possible and it is the definition of insanity but hopefully they blow this mess up and start from scratch

 

[CBG]

then what do you expect? more garbage? more shitty prospects who become nothing? there is no win, the end result is more

then what do you expect? more garbage? more shitty prospects who become nothing? there is no win, the end result is more slop

IF you have a GM or organization who can judge talent and actually rebuild it from scratch then in 3 or 4 years we are having a much different conversation BUT if you continue with the status quo = then you are spot on

LLast night was symptomatic of the Isles whole season. How many times have we seen them choke at the end of games? It cam as no surprise and the way they were outplayed speaks volumes. They are a long way away from competing for a cup.

 

[PhysicalGraffiti]

I don't remember the last time a sports game affected my sleep.

The emotional toll of that game made me feel like total trash, and I just kept trying to figure out how it could all go so wrong. It depressed me.

Not being a kid anymore, I have become where sports games annoy me to a degree, but not affect my emotions like this of anger and disgust.

The high to the low in such short time was just insane. I mean it's not like the signs of a collapse weren't there, but I didn't want to believe it.

It's made me unmotivated to even watch the next game, it really sucked the life out of me. I didn't think they were gonna be a Cup contender, but losing that game like that?

Sigh.

 

[Top Corner]

As frustrating as watching every team pull their goalie and see the puck always in the back of our net, I realize a lot of this is due to lack of speed and inability to get to lose pucks. As much as I want them to win, it’s just not possible with all the talent on the other side

 

[mm11]

Well, imagine if we choked these last two games vrs the rangers? Bright side fellas. Guys have nothing to lose Thursday night. Lay it all out there. We're not running a cup anyway. Right?

So…shut…the f***…up.

 

[BelovedIsles]

You gonna bitch about bitchin’. GTFO. Who the f*** cares, if you do, don't post. Lurk all you want. If less ppl post, IDGAF.

We all bleed orange, white, and blue, respectively.

Whine about whining.

‘Group think.’

We should do a Zimbardo study on the Isles board.

Relax bro. We get it, we're all still reeling from the debacle last night. People need to vent.

 

[mm11]

I didn't even want to hide the salami this AM.

I’m right there with you.

When I see posts ‘whining’ about whining. They are littered around. f***…that…shit.

 

[BelovedIsles]

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…

Keep reading and posting.

 

[Reijo29]

Devils did it to the rangers last year after completely being dominated in the first two games at home.

The Devils and Rangers were comparable teams that almost tied in the standings. These teams aren’t comparable.

 

[islesfan186]

I have ZERO attachment to this roster. This is the most disinterested I’ve been in years. I’ll be honest I’m barely keeping up with this place, I’ve been so checked out.

I’ve kinda been that way since probably November-December of 2022. I used to never want to miss a game, but for the last 2 years, watching this team has been a chore…why is it that other teams can maintain relevance or high levels of play for extended periods of time with small valleys? NYI is the except opposite. Relevant for 2-3 years, then fall back into severe mediocrity or downright terrible for 5+ years

The stadium series was game was what I thought would be the last straw for me, but I got suckered back in like an idiot. Last night was just a bridge too far

Now that I’m a new dad, I don’t see myself wasting the time and energy to deal with this Mickey Mouse bullshit when I’ve got other things I need to worry about

Honestly they'd have been way better facing NYR. Much like Carolina would be way better facing FLA or BOS next. NYR is just a poor matchup for them as we have seen several times last 4-5 years. They play too good a defensive game and just sort of wait for you to make a mistake and score. That is not really the type of opponent Carolina wants. They want a team who plays somewhat of a straightforward or attack oriented game which is more what FLA/BOS/NYI probably qualify as.
