Fluke goal but never should have come to it. Isles needed to put this game away in the second period.

Keep looking for cheap speed in the off season. Upgrade on Mayfield.

 

[The Real JT]

There isn’t a single member of the team, coaching staff, management, or hockey ops that should be untouchable this offseason.

I’d keep Sparky.

 

[Zeeker]

SatansIsland81 about to write a thesis about Sorokin

 

[PK Cronin]

Still better than counting lottery balls for me.

 

[Lek]

we got....what we deserved.

 

[Taswell]

Sorokin dude... You're almost the whole reason we got eliminated

You're on drugs...and not good ones.

 

[MarsTBOW]

Like any goalie, he has weaknesses, but he is the best player on the team without question.

1000%

 

[NittanyIsle]

I was not a fan of trapping when up 1-0. You're at home, have balls and go for the throat.

Its a recovery from the 21-22 disaster, but thats all it was.

Im not really a huge fan of Lambert. I'm convinced Bailey is gone. But outside of that, we need a puck carrying defenseman who is a scoring threat ao freaking badly.

 

[Tres Peleches]

The goals Sorokin let’s in vs what he stops is truly mind-numbing

Like how the f*** do you stop half the pucks he stops and how the f*** does he let in goals that literal traffic cones would stop

 

[steveat]

At least we aren't the first team out.

 

[duster19]

Pelech again with a soft clear....

Just an absolute idiotic play. He’s playing beer league in game 6 OT.

 

[MarsTBOW]

Sorokin dude... You're almost the whole reason we got eliminated

Oh Man your soooo wrong....

 

[Glorydays22]

Don't care what anyone says.....Sorokin is a good/very good goalie in the regular season.

BUT HE IS NOT AN ELITE GOALIE come playoff time. You don't give up those bad angle goals.. How many times does this have to happen????

 

[danteipp]

Still better than counting lottery balls for me.

Especially considering the Isles lottery balls always roll off the table and into the corner, I would say so, lol.

 

[PJGooch]

After that 3rd period I barely even care about the as-expected trash goal by a trash Cane. Just a case study in absolute garbage coaching and execution.

 

[periferal]

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

Like I said earlier. These two teams deserved each other, all the goals were powerplay or weird ass goals.

Neither team played a good 60 minute game and neither could generate offense on their own.

Problem is, Carolina was down a bunch of top forwards and the Isles weren’t.

Sad.

You expect Carolina to turn it up in the third, but the Islanders regressed to a conservative style without being in the position to do so.

 

[heatedskates]

I will be forever thankful for Lou coming to the Islanders and righting the ship with some stability and quality management. Lou and Trotz stopped the bleeding finally. However Lou at his age was always just a stop gap for that purpose, and its time for him to be sent out to pasture.

 

[BelovedIsles]

Play like shit, lose game.


simple.

They didn't play like shit. NYI were passive, the Canes pressured in the 3rd, NYI did not execute early on. Much of this is on coaching.

 

[NittanyIsle]

I can't keep watching this team. Make changes. Please.

I get we're pissed, but this is a far cry from what we were for a lot of the 90s and mid 2000s.

The problem is, it's a flawed team that recruited to a system and the guy who is the maestro of the system isn't here.

Lambert gives me Rierden vibes. I'm not quite sure exactly what he's good at.

 

[Zeeker]

Frustrating but I’m not THAT upset. This isn’t Game 7 against Tampa.

This has been a really flawed team the entire season, and they that couldn’t beat a team without half their top six forwards.

Serious change needs to happen, both staff and on-ice personnel.

 

[duster19]

Oh Man your soooo wrong....

Is he though? Two really bad goals cost them huge. This one tonight. And the one in game 2 from behind the net. Ya he played really well at times. But he had some bad moments too. That goal tonight is garbage.

 

[warrior60]

Pelech with another weak attempt. He was disgraceful this series.

The whole defense was disgraceful,

 

[NC 1972]

Pelech and Dobson have regressed so much without Trotz.

I’ve been watching Pelech , I believe he’s playing with some type of injury he’s been getting knocked down a lot and doesn’t look strong. On the winning goal it looks like he could have thrown it off the boards. Dobson will develop into a quality player
