Ben Shelley: Islanders’ losing streak reaches 11 games

This team is really just painful to watch at this point.

They constantly turn down the oportunity to shoot the puck from the middle of the offensive zone to pass it to a guy who is at a MUCH worse angle and either miss the net or it's an easy goalie save. It's very frustrating to watch.

All of this is on Lou and it's up to him to fix his mess. He allowed Eberle to get taken, traded Leddy and Toews and Added a bunch of very old guys who absolutely stink. Parise, Chara, and Palmieri are terrible.

What’s going on with this team?

Or the Sens (tuesday) or the Devils, or the N'ucks, or Montreal.
SO many bad teams this year that didn't do very good scouting on NHL level talent and brought in some aged-out veterans that should no longer be in the league.

I agree with the three that Lou signed. They were done. Not ARE done. Were already.

But if you think that is bad. Michael Del Zotto was playing for league minimum last year and the Sens Pierre Dorion gave him a TWO YEAR DEAL at 2 MILLION PER!!!!
Like......wtf man. And he's sitting in the press box while a roulette wheel of AHL'ers replace him on the blue line. Oh and a 6 million dollar goalie in the AHL too. When you think it's bad in Long Island. Look around at other places. It's worse. Much worse. How in the world is Montreal going to get out from under all those contracts?

Great news 🤷‍♀️

It's getting close to the time where I have to dust off all the old draft ranking websites

as we see other teams make some shake up moves I would love to see Lou do something. He clearly effed this sht up and needs to do something. Chara to a team that needs defensive depth for a late round pick. Parise.. same. Bailey just to send a message.. something has to be done to wake these guys up.

Bailey did everything he could to prevent that Dobson goal... by the way.

I look forward to the new guy trying to get inside information from Lou.

That’s your specialty. May be your time to shine

Both Bailey and Beau have been absolute trash. Beauvillier has actually been worse then Bailey.

There's hardly a single player that can avoid having blame placed on. Maybe the goaltenders, but that'd be about it. Not one single guy is having a "good" season.

This has been an absolute nightmare. Even if they manage to turn it around and get back to playing good hockey, they have an absolutely massive hole to dig out of in the most competitive division in the league. They'll need to string together a couple long winning streaks to even be in the conversation for the playoffs.

Its time. They'd have to go something like 41-20-1 to make the playoffs. I don't see them suddenly winning two thirds of their remaining games.
