Ben Shelley: Islanders fail to pull ahead in East with mixed results on road trip

It’s nice that Lou, for whatever reason, pretty much kept the squad together that Garth started. No idea if his eye’s felt Engval needed seven years, or his scouts. Either way, he signed the contract. Can’t wait to see what Brock signs for next year, yeesh.

Afternoon tilt...beer and eggs!!! The big question is not how that combination will sit but what team will show up today. They have been embarrassed the last two games. That pop we hope to hear is Roy pulling their heads out of their azzes.

Four big points this weekend. Eight because they are division and conference games.

Holmstrom is overdue for another short-handed goal.

Someone has to take Shannon’s forks away from her. My god and those meat hooks for hands 🤣🤣 I can’t look at her anymore.

I prefer A.J.'s lithe figure.

Hope the boys are ready for this afternoon start. They typically are not. LGI!!!

Funny thing was, Martin actually flubbed that but the Ottawa defender redirected it in. We'll take it

It had felt like forever since we scored a goal.

It was a long draught for sure!

Nice hit by Pulock!

Barzal has the fever today!

It's not cool to fat shame however it it's funny

I hate these one goal games. The Isles are just one fluky goal away from losing their lead.

Not even a fluky goal.

There's just too much damn dead weight on this roster.
They dominated the first but failed to convert their chances. Now Ottawa is taking over the play

They're playing like crap.

Edit: Palms!

Palms, I’ll take it

Ottawa sucks. And the isles don’t look any better than them.

I'm positive that the Isles mostly (except for Palms' goal) sucked in the 2nd period.
