Did you miss Wahlstrom?
- nyisles7

Not really

I was shocked that Georgiev wasn't in goal he owns the islanders
- Hockeyislife

As was I actually.

I thought wahlstrom sitting was a good move. Islanders played desperate hockey today.

Not really
- Hockeyislife

Me either. So Barry did something right

Either is Trotz or Lou for that matter. We are all waiting for them to be fired for ever.
- nyisles7

Trotz is arguably the best coach in the league. He’s stubborn like torts was but they can take teams lacking huge talent very far. I’d gladly take trotz over Quinn

Pens were up 6-0 on Devils and won 7-6. Yikes.

Quinn should be fired after this debacle Shesterkin has never won a game vs the Islanders. Meanwhile georgiev has never lost vs the islanders

Fire everyone!

I saw the 6-0 score earlier and was shocked to see the final.

Fire everyone!

I like to fire everyone.

That was a great game by the isles tonight and what we thought they were most of the season. My hope is they can carry the momentum heading into 3 vs the caps

I went into the Rangers room and asked if Georgiev was injured. That is the only reason to keep him out vs the Islanders. he owns the islanders

That game was very needed. Hopefully this kick starts another run. In this division, though, (and obviously I want them to win the division) I really don’t think it matters which place they finish. 1-4 are all stacked.

Especially the way they have played at home vs on the road this year

Quin sucks LOL
Just screwing with you.
Since Lou and Trotz have been here the Islander team and organization has done nothing but grown into a respected team once again in this league and it was a long time coming.

PLEASE SHUT THE (frank) UP

Islanders desperately need home Ice.

Really liked the lines tonight besides Barzals. I like the extra center being on it I just hope zajac can build more chemistry with them the more they play together.

4 points separates 1st from 4th in the metro

None of it matters...just get in

Getting home ice would be sweet and I know they struggled against them during the season but I think I would prefer them playing Pitt in the first round

great win ... 10 games left. Next 5 are 3 vs. caps and 2 vs Rangers. hopefully they play like they did last night.

Magic Number Time
The Islanders' magic number for clinching a playoff spot falls to 11 (over the Rangers) and 8 (over Philadelphia). New Jersey and Buffalo cannot catch the Isles


The Playoff Chase (top 4 make playoffs)
Washington 62 points (10 to play)
ISLES 62 points (10 to play)
Pittsburgh 61 points (10 to play)
Boston 58 points (12 to play

So if Boston won their games in hand it would be 3 teams with 62 and 1 with 61 points I mean that's insanely close. Can't remember a division being that tight although this is the normal midway point
