Look man, I can't recall interacting with a single Islanders fan, ever, in my entire life. I just tell you what I see - I get it's your team and you won't like it. But you can't just assume its a personal attack, in fact the team is actually terrible. I hope I'm wrong and you enjoy a fun season.

Yeah none of this had anything to do with my post.

I'm well aware the Islanders are almost guaranteed to regress, thanks for playing

Obviously Tanner is some Rag Loving D Bag or a Toronto 1967 Fan! Yep the Isles suck, all the way to the top of the Metro!

Isles fans - rejoice! You just got the Tamsy kiss of death. Or, in this case, the kiss of....life?

Tamsy has an uncanny knack for being wrong about everything. I've never come across anyone who is wrong as frequently as this dude

I appreciate that he keeps at it, and somehow maintains his air of superiority throughout, but I'm now feeling pretty confident that the Isles will make the playoffs

Tanner, your opinion on the Islanders is the equivalent to someone who gives parenting advice when they themselves have no kids.

Tanner - I do agree the Isles are overachieving and will not make the playoffs.

This is honestly one of the most pathetic, biased, poorly written, baseless "articles" I have ever read. Are the Islanders as good as their record currently looks? Probably not. Have they had unsustainable high shooting and save percentages? Maybe. Do they have a lot of fourth liners and grinders? Yes. But sometimes a team as a collective unit works together. They in all likelihood will not win the division, but they are also most certainly not a bottom five team in the league, let alone "by far THE worst team in the NHL."
But to be honest, as soon as this clown started insulting Barry Trotz, he lost all credibility. With the exact same personnel, if Jack Capuano or Doug Weight was the coach, they would probably be 4-8-2 or worse rather than 8-4-2. Barry Trotz is one of the best coaches, if not the best, in the NHL.

The three caps fans on hockeybuzz said Trotz isn’t a good coach and is overrated. That’s all I need to hear.

This is just confirmation bias. I am almost never wrong, but you see what you want, or you just lie about it.

The Isles might not make the playoffs, but the people making the criticisms obviously didn't watch them the last 2 years and notice a difference (and it isn't goaltending). Look at where those shots are being taken from. How many rebounds are they giving up? Are they clearing the crease when there are rebounds?

Most shots are from outside the dots. the lane is clear and the goalies are making the saves the first time unlike in years past. When there is a rebound the D is clearing the crease AND the forwards are actually backchecking. They were outplayed big against Montreal however much of that can be attributed to playing 6 games in 10 days and were totally outskated (and still earned a point).

I wouldn't discount them and to say they end up 31st is ridiculous. Like I said they may not make the playoffs but they will be right there and don't forget, they are winning without major performances from Barzal and Beauviller. Plus Ho-Sang and Dal Colle are lighting up the AHL. They eventually will be given a shot. And don't be shocked if the Isles trade Leddy for a top 6 forward and bring up Toews.

I have seen you be wrong a lot and I find your blogs to be highly influenced by confirmation bias.

In this case though I’d agree the Isles are probably in for a regression pretty soon based on those numbers. Teams are able to adapt their game though so it’s hard to say where they will end up.

You know I'm only kidding, right? IF you have a daily blog and you aren't afraid to take the risk of looking like an idiot, you're going to be wrong all the time.

The Islanders aren't good though. They are one of the worst teams in the NHL and Lou Lamoriello is outdated and not good. Those are just facts.
