I think maybe we're not giving the Islanders enough credit. They were a cusp team last year. If they're a playoff team this year then this game makes sense.

 

No, they're complete crap.  

 

For all the hate he gets Kane may be the only guy that showed up tonight.

 

He sure did, and you're right.

 

I disagree with that. The Islanders have a number of nice players. We're just trained to assume they suck.

 

No, they're complete crap.

 

ROR has been pathetic

 

Two games now.  If he's hurt, sit him.  If he can't figure it out, sit him.  I don't care what he makes.  He has been a horror for 125 minutes of hockey out of 125 minutes.

This is not a team, it's a bunch of talented parts that don't fit at all. Time to start looking for trade partners...

 

Okposo

O'Reilly

Reinhardt

 

They are all offering nothing

 

Easy there.  Reinhart was the best C on the ice 48 hours ago.

Disappointing all around. But silver lining is that even as sloppy as we were all game, if not for Lehner getting bowled over and then absolutely frazzled on his next three shots --- this is probably a one-goal or even game. We definitely need some time to gel, and get a bit of grit (Nolan) and speed (Rodrigues?) back in the lineup up front. ROR has been mysteriously off thus far -- can't hold on to the puck like normal.

Y'all are nuts.

We walked into Edmonton game 2 last year and ran them out of their building 6-2. What exactly did that game tell us about our respective seasons?

 

Nobody's clicking, we've faced God-in-goal and a team fresh off a 5-0 loss entering their home opener, and we were a lazy missed-pick call from the ref on the 5th goal and an eyelash away from a tie game. At least we didn't lose 10-1 like the champs did. 

If you're selling off your tickets now, I cannot fathom why you'd have them in the first place. 

These boys need to hitch up their trousers and go to work and they know it. New Jersey had better watch out.

Just way too lackadaisical with the puck tonight.

Yup. So many touches where they tried to make soft little chips or get rid of the puck where there wasn't a play to make. Sometimes you have to just play heavy and box guys off the puck until the right play opens up. It's literally the only thing keeping Jagr on the ice and they'd do well to watch some tape of him. We weren't creating any time or space for ourselves tonight.
