Playoffs everyone goes balls out and it's different but they are out of sorts for sure. Palmieri is brutal

Maybe they snap out of it in the playoffs. It happened last year but they also had a very long break to regroup before all that.

Right now their balls are certainly not out, they've seemingly retracted all the way back into their bodies

Yeah, Krueger stank really f@cked a lot of stuff up this year, plus all the injuries.

Never liked Ralphie for you guys. Ownership needs to exit and hire an experienced GM.
It works as The Islanders were laughing stocks and once Lou was signed it turned around. Barry isn’t coming here without Lou as GM.

Barzal missed in OT for sure.

Out skated, out worked and out hustled in overtime

Apathy has set in

Maybe Trotz just doesn’t care about the seeding. I’d rather avoid the Caps first round but whatever.

We’ve turned it off up 2, 2 nights in a row. It’s tough to feel good about this even if we get the 2nd point.

sOrOk11n to outplay an ECHL goalie in a skills competition. Let’s see.

Could very easily be the Pens in first place

Wahlstrom will rip it by him watch

Sorokin barely moved.

Don’t worry we are going to trade Varly

Son of a female dog!

Pathetic. Can't beat an ECHL goalie. This team is going nowhere.

I’m gonna say Houser has won himself a job in the NHL next year.

Who's Trotz going to bench now?

I really want to say they’ve mailed it in for the regular season but I really don’t think so.

its crazy to see a team like buffalo outskate us. is it trotzs system that makes us look pathetically slow? can we really skate?

I’m gonna say Houser has won himself a job in the NHL next year.

He's a feel good story, the kid has had 12 surgeries of his feet and just kept battling,

Hopefully Mayfield

If Krueger stank was still coaching we wouldn't be playing this type of game. You guys got a good team

2 nights in a row we stop skating once we go up 2. That’s pretty inexcusable.

Maybe. Or he could be the next Wade Dubielewicz.

Especially after benching Barzal to send a message to the team.

Why have they stopped playing Trotz defensive style of hockey? So many lazy turnover passes, too many fly bys. They need to wake up.

Should I say it
