Self inflicted wounds would be the name of the book written about this season…Disappointed the game even went to OT. Pelech’s icing when he had little to no pressure had me talking to myself about how it was going to burn them. Sure enough. Team is very frustrating even on what was a win streak.
Yeah but there is some fight in this team, the PP was brutal and then they give up the shorty and then basically took the game over 5 on 5 after that. I think they get some credit for the fight today. Sorokin also was excellent today, he looked fresh and confident today. Let’s hope he found himself with this little break he’s gotten, he gives this team a chance in any playoff series.Self inflicted wounds would be the name of the book written about this season…
I’ve been grading them on a curve personally. We know they’re not that good, I’ll take 3 of 4 points against NYR.Brutal way to lose. This team just can’t close out games for whatever reason.
Faceoffs were bad last 2 games tooHow many even strength goals did they score against us in the four games combined?
Let’s go 0-0-2 over the next two, to really upset people over loser points
They haven't clinched yet so that'd be a very bad idea.
They need two points to clinch a playoff spot. It’s perfect!
I think Nelson still gets traded but good season close for him.Nelson getting traded next season? Highly doubt it. 3 30G+ seasons in a row, surpassing JT as 7th all time.
The Marcscehsault contract is going to be a barometer for Nelson’s next deal. My guess is he resigns with NYI.
The point was big. We knew this one was going to be real hard during the day and without Dobson.
This said, can't lose a draw late in the game as easily as Horvat lost to Trocheck on that Panarin goal. It was as perfect a faceoff win as you can get. Gotta just go for the neutralization every time in your own end.
And honestly, the boyz had more than enough opportunities to put this one away. Tons of good chances. If Panarin had half the chances Pageau and Fasching had, he's have had the trick tonight.

One thing should be crystal clear to any and everyone in Islandersville - Sorokin does not win shootouts. He's just brutal in the shootout. Roy is new, but I'd have to think you simply have to put Varlamov in there for that part of the game, no matter what.
Sorokin is THAT bad.
its really fkn pathetic how bad this team is on special teams… the shootouts im sure everyone here knew we had no shot once it went to a shootout… that said, i was totally not even expecting a point today so now its scoreboard watch time.. how many late game letdowns has this fkn team had this year?!!? its even surprising they are in control of their own destiny with 2 games to go.. pathetic special teams and even worse in the shootout.
thats probably been the case for awhile now i would just add that at the end of that they also say, “just do not give up a sh goal!”It's bad enough with Dobson. Without him, they look like chickens with their heads cut off out there.
I often wonder - when you're doing so poorly, so regularly, when does the coaching staff just say, "Ok, go out there and play 5-on-5 hockey. They're one man fewer, so let's just see what happens."
Swapping a cold goalie for a shootout is a recipe for injury.The point was big. We knew this one was going to be real hard during the day and without Dobson.
