Barzal is mailing it in at this point. Pretty ridiculous for a guy who’s considered a leader.

Would have liked to have seen him pass on that 2 on 1 with Bo.

He nearly always passes. I think the coaches are telling him to shoot more.

I wonder if he is banged up? I would have ended the Casey experiment.

Would have liked to see him do anything on that 2-on-1. 😤

No idea why he is playing against a fast non physical team.

No scrums and not really physical for a playoff series.

The players and fans don’t seem to care too much so *who cares* right? I know I wouldn’t want to swept but that’s just me.

Barzal made him a nice pass, probably his best play all period and Bortuzzo could have shot it or passed it to the dot to Horvat and he…just rolled the puck to the Canes d-man. Like, what the (frank) are you doing?

I get the Islanders do not have players they can use to change this entire series around, but I still would make more lineup changes and especially when you cannot beat this Canes team. Switch up the lines and d pairs at least.

Why is Iskhakov on the 4th line and Fasching on the 2nd? Why is the 1st line still together? I know we really don’t have the horses but it’s desperation time.

This is my point. Put Ishakov on the 1st line. Holmstrom should be playing as well. If you are going to lose anyway to this team again, go down trying different things.

You at least send a message as a coach you are not going to do nothing while we keep losing to this team. This team is way too comfortable even down 3-0.

Well it’s not that he’s doing nothing he’s just doing stupid sh!t. For the life of me I’ll never understand this clubs obsession with starting scorers or non physical or defensive players on the fourth line. If the expectations are for them to thrive and prove themselves to move up the lineup good job setting the kid up for failure. It’s moronic. God forbid they take Fasching out of the top 6 it may upset that offensive powerhouse we’ve witnessed all series.

Fasching has at least played with the guys on the 4th line and if there’s anything Nelson and Palmieri could use, it’s Iskhakov’s speed. What the (frank) do I know though.

We’re gonna get shutout. 2-0 with an empty netter for them. Prove me wrong!

LOL PROVED ME WRONG 😂
