Not good enough. We’re done. Going to Sorokin was an obvious mistake and I’m afraid he’s (frank)ed in the head at this point.

This team’s stars did nothing tonight too.

He has the whole off season to get ready and prepared.

If it means a new GM and a new direction. No more pretending this is a legit team.

Never saw a team not playing like a 5-man unit like the Islanders. This team thinks they can score just using the forwards.

…and passing it 2 or 3 extra times every single time.

Man sat in the tunnel with his mask still on the rest of the period which was still like 13 minutes long when he got pulled. It’s in his head at this point.

Right now - yes. Six months from now, maybe not. Who knows.

Either way I hope Varly starts Saturday.

I don’t know…this is about as rough as it gets. I still don’t think the first 2 were on him but that 3rd one once we got momentum going was a killer. He’s still young but it seems like it’s in his head at this point.

Yes, but outside of the two years they went to CF, is the same old BS from this team.

Gotta add…Barzal, Horvat, Dobson…where were you tonight?

Pulock, shoot the (frank)ing puck. Too many guys treating this like just another game tonight. Nelson, aside from a tap in, hasn’t hit the net all series. Fasching was probably number one star from our team and Lee not far behind. That’s…ridiculous. Too many guys just not sticking out.

Now is not the time for facts. We need to blame puck luck and the refs. Lou did a great job on the roster.

I get the change but Roy blew it with the goalie change. Probably his first bad decision since taking the job imho.
sOrOkin sucked ass!

lol, you’re delusional if you think that was the only reason they lost tonight.

So true, two ECF loses against the SC champs. Meaningless.
Yup, trade em all. Fire the GM and coach.
Maybe bring back Snow. Those were the good old days.

100% sOrOkin sucked period. His time to come in and shine and he sucked. It’s on Roy. He made the change.

I may be delusional but the Isles gave up 21 shots tonight while getting 31 of their own. Pretty much played a good game. sOrOkin sucked. I know you have a boner for him but for me that decision was a big reason why if not the reason the Isles lost.
Guy has lost his mojo. I hope he gets it back because he’s signed for 7 years.
Edit: watching post game and Roy was asked about sOrOkin 3 times and would answer.

Sorokin hasn't been the same since last years PO. 8 more years.

Maybe, but that was by far the near the end of the list why they lost three in a row.

Dobson has got to be playing hurt. Barzal is having his space taken away. They are just being beat by a better team.

Well with their roller coaster season, they were due for the downslope.
