Wally was horrible the other night. He turned over the puck more than Barzal and Bailey combined. The Yotes best chance was from a pass right in the slot from Wally. He sat the the 3rd and they didn’t miss him.

They have too many guys who pass, pass, pass and then shoot. Always looking for the perfect goal.

Do any of you still think they have a shot at the playoffs?

Almost there. So stupid. All I’ve seen the entire night is a bunch of scrubs scared to shoot and we sat the one guy that puts it on net whenever he can. I’m sure that makes sense to some stupid person.

Fire Trotz should have played Wahlstrom. The Islanders as a team and every player would have played so much better and they would have won. JC what a (frank)ing joke. They sucked ass and deserved to lose! Wally as much as you love him wasn’t making a difference

I just wish we could find another grinder to play on Barzal's wing

That game was extremely disappointing for obvious reasons.

That goal with half a second left in the first was the nail in the coffin tonight. I love trotz but his weakness is managing the young players. Wahlstrom should have been in the lineup tonight. Barzal gave up the puck at the blue line on the marner shortie is he gonna sit next gsme? All these guys fuk up - he just punishes the young guys. That is a huge fault of his that he can’t manage them properly imo.

Can they coax PA Parenteau out of retirement?

I actually wish Barzal would play without his head up his ass.

Could have used his shot on the three or four PP’s we had.

I'll keep watching and hoping, but I really don't think we've seen any sustained signs of this team regaining their form. Between the schedule, injuries and waht seems to be a delicate balance of chemistey lost with the offseason departures, they just aren't that good.
Most of our wins have been the result of superhuman feats by Sorokin and Varly.

They were 7-2-1 in last ten gsmes with 29 gf and 18 against. Some of those teams were bottom feeders but so were we. If they can keep that pace of play we have a shot at the playoffs. Long way to go but I’m still keeping the faith.

I'm not sure they are built to win in the playoffs.

Of course I'll keep watching. I just don't expect anything this season. It's over IMO. I would like to see younger players play to get experience. Let's give them a chance and see who they are. I also don't think there is a chance in hell of that happening.

PA will be busy at the Olympics where after winning gold he will give a Rocky IV-like speech to the people if China causing the CCP to crumble.

There’s more to the game then a shot. If you can’t play the while sheet right your not gonna play for Barry. That’s why his teams are successful. His shot wasn’t making the rest of the team play better. They sucked tonight from the pipes out and got what they deserved.

I get that but honestly do you think Wally makes the difference tonight?

Also big one against Chelsea tomorrow, we win?
