I just think the threshold needs to be lower. The equivalent of a full forward and d combo being out or more should shut you down.

Hopefully with the testing they're doing these games are low/no risk.

I agree. The problem is the Isles ran into significant injuries at the same time. Plus they are coming off a brutal road trip. This was the time we were hoping to make up some ground.

Czikas out?

Well I for one think it’s brilliant. Especially tomorrow morning around 8 or 9am as you're throwing the bird in the oven.

Bloody Mary's generally make for an unproductive day for me.

Surprised Islander fans are calling for a penalty.

Not so sure. First it was Bailey, then we played...a few more go out...play again...Chara out. Who knows. The damage is most certainly done for the Isles at this point.

Happy we still have our first round pick. What do you think we could get for barzal?

I say this accepting our current situation and understand the circumstances take away from their game but the half arsed play by our regulars is inexcusable. Going to be a lot of empty seats in this nice, new, arena.

What’s wrong with that hit?

Nothing. He put his shoulder into the chest.

How do they not call that trip on Pageau?

So the Islanders are what, 0 for 85 on the power play this season?

1 of 27 on the PP in November giving up 3 shorties.

He must have covid.

I don't think I ever recall seeing a time where five of six starting dmen are out. There was just no way this game was going to be competitive for three periods

He must have covid.

Rangers are probably scared to play us for that reason.

How is that not an instigator penalty. Let alone the trip.

Trotz should be telling them to cough uncontrollably prior to each faceoff

BS going after JGP. His hit was clean.

This is crap. It's not like the Isles were going to win anyway.

Go get him Laf for hitting your dirty player with a clean hit. Now the refs blow the obvious call. Wow. Insult to injury. Trotz should throw the fourth line out there and wipe the ice with them.

This is just dumb. End the game and go home.

Butchie - "The Islanders were in the hockey game ..."

No, not after the first 20 minutes.

Don't want to wish covid on anyone, but if there's a sudden outbreak with the NYR, this will maybe get the scrutiny it deserves. Both teams are being put at risk to lose players, games etc
