Ben Shelley: Cory Schneider, Jean-Gabriel Pageau lead Islanders to win over Devils

Way to go Cory!

The current 7-3 in the last 10. 4 wins out of the last 4 games. Is this a false positive with playoff hopes all but mathematically dead? Are we seeing what was suppose to happen? Is this what Lou envisioned?

I think you have to take this year a blip on the radar. However, I do not think the Isles are where they need to be personnel wise. I think there needs to be some serious additions on the front and back end. Team cannot be content with the bounce back.

I'm happy they're playing well and it'll be good for them to end the season on a "high" note.

They'll have the offseason to retool with some cap flexibility, possibly even more of that if they can move out Bailey or some other money. This will be the most important offseason Lamoriello has had with this club to date.

Then we are (frank)ed! Fire Lou, Can Barry!

I thought Schneider was a retired TV personality now.

Who knew!?

So keep them both, you think?

This is probably the most accurate statement. I would to see Bailey go but I do not see the organization parting with him. I see AB going before Bailey does.

That was a beauty pass by Dober and goal by JGP.

Just stepped in from dinner and missed the first period please fill me in.

Nelly and a beautiful transition by Dobson

Kids gonna be crazy good. I just wish Barry, Lou and BP knew how to develop young talent.

Don’t think AB the barely 3rd liner will be going anywhere honestly. He and Nelson have developed chemistry on the 1st line and just didn’t see him going anywhere after Nelly scores 30 plus. Just my opinion.

Why is Grant Hutton on this team?

Because Mayfield is hurt and Aho sucks worse.

How bout them Spurs playing Conte Football?

Spurs are actually making me happy. Seeing Palace destroy Arsenal yesterday was nice too. Still got a long way to go but top 4, maybe even 3rd are in their reach.

Oh, and am I nuts, or did I see a post from Vukota recently?

When you see some improbable save like that…cmon. He didn’t even mean to do that. 😅

The ol kiss of death from Ek. Never fails.

Ironic that last season ended when they gave up a short-handed goal. And now, what miniscule chance they had to sneak into the playoffs this season effectively ended when they gave up another shorty.

Sending 12Chainz out there as the sixth skater while Palms remains on the bench just kills me. Then one final rush with seconds left and chains chips it into the corner ending the game. Rest assured, he'll be back next year. They love him.

Of course the entire roster save for maybe Dobson (and a few hits by Ross) looked dead on their feet tonight. This March schedule has just been brutal.

Yes Sir, playing very well and top 4 would be great. I think that’s key to keeping Kane.

Oh, if they’re not in a CL spot, he’s a goner and probably so is Conte. Both would be devastating. Plus, how you getting any Class talent to come here?

Although if they are close and Levine gives Conte the $$$$ needed to compete maybe just maybe they both stay.
The new Arena must be bringing in new revenue so I’m hoping that Levine spends some of it.
Going to be interesting to see what happens.
