Sorokin is not making it hard on the Rangers, the Rangers are. it's like they refuse to get dirty.

Probably one of his easiest games of the season. Sees everything

Look at this shit lol, they’re just standing around waiting for this game to end.

This Islanders team knows how to shut down this Rangers team, been doing it for years. After the last two games they’re in our heads aswell. We’re done in 5.

This third line has been excellent today 

But no goals, as usual.

So fucking casual, playing like it’s game 3. We’re fucked

If two coaches couldn’t fix it, then neither of them are the reason for lack of scoring on 5v5….

Well yes, that’s my point.

They got this. Laviolette will settle things down.  Panarin will show up and hold everyone's hand to victory... again.  

 

LOL. Gotta hope for a  quick PP to start tge 3rd. Let Kreider Kreider..... if he ever gets to the game today. Did anyone tell him it was a 12:30 start?

You didn’t see his assist on our only goal?

If we lose, Carolina clinches top spot in division with 2 wins. They play Chicago and Columbus.

 

Islanders will further strengthen hold on M3. So I’d say yeah, we lose here, it’s us and them.

Islanders instead of Pens/Caps/Det in the 1st round and loses home ice in a potential 2nd round against Carolina. Just a huge fuck up right at the finish line…

Still got 20 minutes left to save this. They’ve done it before.

No worries, a coach with a system fixes th… oh wait

Season on the line in the 3rd here. They’re losing in the 1st round against the Islanders if they lose today.

Listening on the radio so I'm not making any accusations, but I haven't heard Panarins name mu h and his ice time is pretty high among forwards.

 

How is he playing ? 

I didn’t watch the 1st, but in the 2nd he’s been pretty invisble. Was on the PK the first 5 minutes tho.

Zibanejad has been good today, but Roslovic is just a black hole atm

Gus with a great shift. First a shot that barely moved forward and then a pass right to an Isles player in our own zone…

The selfish-guaranteed-SOG when you're on a break like that is nice, but that early pass at the blue line to either the trailer or the guy opposite the defender is such a great move. Let's fucking go!

Mr one-dimensional with a great play on the PK there, love to see it

SCHNEIIDS!! Huge goal

 

Fuck these talentless shitfaces, 6 minute of PP and down 0-1. Losers

Well fuck I jinxed that

SCHNEIIDS!! Huge goal

Fuck these talentless shitfaces, 6 minute of PP and down 0-1. Losers

The one on Trocheck was 10x worse lol

With an Islanders win today a Rangers - Islanders 1st round matchup looks likely. I hope that won't be the case.

5-1 Islanders

Team is playing well.  Kakko is playing his best hockey of the season with Wennberg . Goodrow, Brodzinski, Vesey has been a good 4th line. Chytil has never impressed me other than when he got hot for a few games in the playoffs and for the 1 stretch last season.  Why risk changing the team chemistry for Chytil?  We aren’t talking an all star.  And who knows what he comes back as.  Too risky a move for me in the playoffs.  If it was January or February I would be in favor of it. 

It's not like they can't take him out again if it doesn't work. Brodz is used to being in and out of the lineup, I don't see that ruining anything.

Chytil had 22g, 45p in 74 games last year playing 3rd line with barely any PP time. He had a really strong season after the good playoffs and most people thought he would have his real breakout this season. Wennberg has 1 goal in 16 games. He's been fine, but I think he would be just as effective on a 4th line with Goodrow and Vesey. And I do think Chytil would provide more offense on the 3rd line than what Wennberg has and this team could use some more secondary scoring.

At this point Chytil coming back in the playoffs in my opinion doesn’t help them at all.  Comeback next season if possible but this season should be a foregone conclusion that he sits out. 

I don't know, if he's cleared and good to go I think he's a significant upgrade on Brodzinski. Chytil and Kakko has had chemistry together before, so make a "Kid Line v2" and play Wennberg on the 4th line.

Cuylle - Chytil - Kakko

Vesey - Wennberg - Goodrow

The team sucks at 5v5 and is tops at literally everything else. 
 

thanks I’ll take it 

Yeah, it’s the same team they’ve been for the last 3 years. Great PP, solid PK and a great goalie. The coaching staff was supposed to magically fix the 5v5 problems according to some people in here, we see now that they haven’t.

That’s not to say this isn’t a good team capable of winning it all with a bit luck, just like in 2022.

Imagine paying hundreds of dollars or even a grand to go to a game and see them get blown out?

 

It is what it is. Doesn't it happen in soccer? I don't know, I don't watch that shit. 

 

The "no draw" is an American thing I think. Most team sports when played in a league format usually have draws. Obviously not the same in cups/playoffs.

That's all that matters to you, but when other people see a skill set not being utilized, and other players having to pick up the slack for it, it's going to be pointed out. 

It's all that matters to the game really. Score more goals than the opposition. Kreider is great at it.
