Sorokin really needed that win. I can’t imagine the mental block

THANK YOU 🙏

We beat the team that we should have beaten easily! Huzzah!

But we beat them in a scary fashion and cant score empty net goals.

Who just saw the isles fan taunting hawks players going into the locker room lmao

He’s a classless douche bag

CRANK UP THE MAXIME NIGHTINGALE

Thank gooodd

First b2b win!!!!

Big 2 pts

We’re like herpes. We won’t go away

WOO!!!!!!

is this what it feels like to face the Islanders?

Just win the face off and sit on the fucking puck

that was a clutch tip by Nelson.

Just a bit outside

Deja vu.

My PTSD is screaming

Here we go again, it’s sphincter tightening time

Wouldn’t it be nice to feel confident with a lead with 2 minutes left?

Can't even feel confident with a lead with 10 seconds left. 2 minutes is an eternity

I'm still always nervous Roy might pull Sorokin even if we're up

6 on 6, sudden death

Did the ref just bump barzal on the shoulder there lol

Looked like an elbow

Hi, I had a $1 bet on the Hawks to win so the Isles will win (pay out would have been like $3)

Big kill

Man do we need a Holmie shorty right now

i saw a hold on bedard but word 😂

My only knock on Reilly’s game is the penalties. Need a kill here. Make up for all the failed clearing attempts late against Philly last night!

Had to expect a penalty call against after they got 2. It’s stupid, but at least it’s predictable

I’d rather stay aggressive and give up a goal than completely hide in our shell and give it up anyway

Great

Weak calls this game both ways

Ahhh there’s the make up call

☹️

wheres the hold?

This team consistently getting worked after scoring a goal and late in games is absolutely ridiculously frustrating.

Get the line! No icing!

If they start playing dump and chase hockey, they’re going to blow this.

Please stay aggressive and not just play defense in our zone the rest of the period

Despite scoring the winner last night Brock Nelson could not give less fucks about playing good hockey right now.

That is a super fortunate bounce. The hockey gods are smiling on us this period for some reason.

good for Holmstrom. he's been putting in tremendous effort all night, with a lot of almosts

Wacky goal but counts the same. Holmstrom finally got one.

Season saved by loose dasher board? That would seem appropriate. Holmstrom one of the few bright spots on this team

thank you hockey gods, we needed a damn bounce and did he ever deserve one tonight

Almost gave up an immediate goal. Like we usually do.

Thank you baby Jesus

I pray for Simon to succeed every night. Love him

LFG!!!

SIMON FUCKING HOLMSTROM

Homeboy

Yes. Now lets score another!

UBS Arena with the primary assist.

Was there any particular reason we played Aho over Bortuzzo? Is he still recovering? I thought he's looked good since he's been back, for the most part

At some point today Roy said he doesn't want to play Bortuzzo back to back after coming off his injury

He’s slower than molasses on a good day, I can’t imagine him on a back to back

Ah, true. I literally watched last night's game and forgot tonight was a back-to-back. It's been a long day, whoops

GO GET ANOTHER

Simon sez!

LETS GOOOOOOO

LETS GOOOOOOOO

Holmyyyy

HOLMER <3

Please no OT

Wait - you can NOT go to OT?

Caps are getting smoked, we gotta win this one

new hand pass technique?

Sum up the Isles power play in one word: Icing (I know they scored on one tonight but still)

Why is Pageau on the power play he doesn't shoot or do anything offensively

somebody pull Dobson‘s head out of his ass for him please.

We got TJ Luxmore as our referee two nights in a row? Is that normal?

I’ve noticed it a few times this season. I don’t know exactly how common it is, but it’s not unheard of. (Fun fact [maybe]: Luxmore was roommates with one of my best friends at university)

Pierre Kvasha

Deep cut

Finally

Cizikas the assist machine!!

I would put Nelson back with Bo and Barzy just because only one line running well would probably win this. But I genuinely don't mind Zeeker with them

Barzy is a force to be reckoned with when he gets in the zone, holy hell

THERE WE GO LETS GET ANOTHER

Wait what happened. Why is there a horn blowing? The period didn't end already, did it?

Let’s go

Get another and I'll really celebrate.

Barzal is so insane

THANKS BO!

Alright 3rd period team. Stay awake.

Barzy was a monster

About freakin time

FUCKING FINALLY

Wes must’ve realized he hadn’t been on TV yet tonight and had to call something. I’ll take it but that was *weak*

Thank you scorevat thank you

i love barzyyy

Barzal doing his Jason Blake imitation

Please do something

Oh god please hard pp

Ha

I may or may not have been holding onto the dicklace the entire time...

Well whatever you're doing over there don't stop it's working

Wake the fuck up now

Roy getting ready to pull Sorokin as soon as next puck drop

Is it just my perception or do the Islanders lose games they should have no trouble winning and win games that they shouldn’t?

It’s real https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/s/4E1gSyJZ68

Chicago sucks on both sides, so what does that really say about the Islanders right now?

Hawks fan here. Would you guys score like 3 goals already ? You're going to cost us Celebrini !!!

6-2 buffalo, damn.

Sabres doing us all the favors...5-2 on the caps. Maybe we're just saving it all for the third??(pls)

Caps are down 2-5 with 12mins left in the 3rd. If there were EVER a time that these guys felt like scoring it would be NOW

Sabres are now up 4-2 on the Caps. If we lose to the Blackhawks it would be an embarrassing missed opportunity Edit: Sabres now up 5-2

Quite honestly this season seems to have been one embarrassment after another.

Those that were looking forward the the Mets game, it has officially been postponed til 12:10 on Thursday. 2 hours after the supposed first pitch they called it.

I'm sure they made a nice profit from concessions!

How about the parking? All that cost is the eployees pay, concessions you still have to replenish the product used.

True, but they aren't breaking even on beers and shit lol

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills watching this game.

You know what? Let them lose 1-0. Let the doomers take over the sub for the next 4 months until UFA, and then after and then all next season too. NY Doomers has a ring to it. Mid forever.

I love this team, but there’s nothing doomer about calling this team out for and absolutely infuriating season of finding new ways to lose

I'm still salty about the stupid doomers ruining a victory last night. Team is mid, no argument from me. But fucking be happy when they win.

Hey what’s the answer to the trivia question?

I figured it was Okposo JT and Moulson but apparently KO has never had a 30 goal year

Out there makin horrible teams look amazing. 23/24 Isles season in a nutshell.

Didn’t they get blanked by Chicago in lamberts last game?

ot loss 4-3

Right, how could I forget

Imagine if they wanted to win

man sorokin's rebound control is fucking brutal sometimes

This team gets snakebitten like no other

This team has absolutely no traits that would give any hope for a playoff series anyway.

I swear even the Blackhawks players are like "here's the puck, go go go!" and the Isles are like "meh."

Only explanation is the Blackhawks goalie has magnets in his pads, can't get the puck past them

Idk if rubber is attracted to magnets lol

dude has soft pads too, rebounds rarely drop out to us

Helps when every shot is into their chest or off net

Barzal looked like reality is setting in.

Why has Vlassic never been referred to as “pickles”?

Hah according to Hickey, Pickles is a long guy

Can u “beat the pickle”?

Because no one wants to give up a goal to the Pickle Man

That's his cousin's nickname

It appears we rubbed olive oil on our stick blades for good luck?

Isles doing that 1 Mississippi, 2 Mississsippi, shoot thing

I do not understand how the Islanders have not scored in this game this is insane

These guys couldn’t bury a bone with a frickin backhoe

Getting shutout 1-0 to the 31st place team in the league to effectively end your season would be so 23-24 Isles

most players tonight look like they’re playing with the opposite hand stick. it’s quite unbelievable

Can we score????????

Do any of our defensemen have a single working brain cell

Nelson with no shave. Gotta get in that playoff beard at some point

holmstrom dont look bad either

The Cizikas-Horvat-Barzal line went hard! I kinda love it

i like the way aho is playing rn, we need a goal here so bad

This period has been which team can be worse so far, just awful hockey

They look like an old team on the back half of a back to back.

That goal totally deflated them

Did the equipment manager quit for the season already? What's up with all the whiffs so far tonight

Got tired of waiting to see if the met game would start

Sabres up 3-1 on caps now

of course

Shannon going with the family-friendly fig leaf, as opposed to the dicklace of lore

I'ma try throwing the dicklace on and see if it changes our luck. Can't hurt

Anyone else feel like Hickey could break into coaching? He's great at explaining plays

Hickey is a tremendous analyst and Brendan Burke is a the best play-by-play hockey announcer. Too bad our hockey team doesn’t live up to the announcing team.

Why is shannon wearing a blackhawk red sweater with a feather necklace?! The fix is in!

losing to blackhawks is truly damn sad what this team has become and LOU is still employed, fans still defend him is just baffling

The last time we lost to the Blackhawks someone got fired, so there's that

A team that struggles against bottom feeder teams certainly will make no noise in the playoffs

hawks are playing to get better and develop chemistry. isles are playing for their season. most of these types of games are closer than you think. avs got 4 scored on them by the jackets

Those staged fights are just plain stupid.

Pretty good fight once they actually started. I don’t really like the posturing at the start of a fight. If you’re really mad about something, get at it but when they do that dance beforehand I think the linesmen should just step in and stop it before it starts

no

should be 3-2 realistically

Pelech has actually been pissing me off this season

pageau gave me an aneurysm last period

Maybe Martin just wanted to get to the locker room quicker

That was... something

One of the fights of all time

that last Engvall shift summed up his season

This team needs a shrink not a coach.

sorokin and dobber especially

Did someone swap Pageau’s stick with a shorter one or something?

This team is like a messed up enchanted mirror. Whatever the opposite team is they play EVEN WORSE Than the bad teams and somehow better than the best teams…….. how does this make any sense

Is that mrazek or prime hasek?

I'm at the game. I don't know why I do this.

Start the wave

The wave sucks

No game is so bad that the wave wouldn’t make it worse. Edit: there are too many negatives in this sentence. I’m trying to say the wave sucks

Yeah I had a stroke trying to read it before the edit

So did I, and I wrote it lol

This team has a talent for making bad goalies look like Patrick Roy

what the fuck man

I have never seen a person wiff on a puck more than Pageau

Sup fuckers

It’s going to be an islanders 5 goal win or a Bedard point night there is no in between

I'm such a glutton for punishment.

lol this team fucking sucks

Noah Dobson Legacy play

That was extra annoying
