New York 2024-25/Clean Out Day

New York Islander Fan Central | 5/02/2024 03:56:00 AM |
Last year Lamoriello/Lambert did not speak, expect the same here. Only Scott Malkin knows what he's planning.
Only team knows if they qualify Wahlstrom, Holmstrom. On defense it's a choice of Aho, Bortuzzo, Reilly + Mayfield's recovery.
Robin Salo/Otto Koivula both face UFA group VI.
New York will draft 18th, they have no 3rd/7th round pick.

Season Over For New York-And it deserves to be

Roy did his proud/resiliant dance, ignoring they gave up two fast goals & were outshot 21-4, so did Palmieri/Lee who made clear it sucks/bad bounces.

New York In A Dead Building Forces Game 5

Carolina has not impressed me in one game so far, for all their speed/skill New York should have won the first game, Carolina found themselves with the goalie pulled trailing in game two, and barely worked up a few shots as they hung on in game three. Nothing close to the team down the stretch. Andersen has been very good or very bad. Today Carolina looked all set to mail it in, and still had the lead & gave it back before of course the NYI gave it back. Horrible officiating, missed icings, calls were happening everywhere. Varlamov held them in great, and they finally got a bounce off a Dobson shot, and Lee was taking the faceoff when the ping pong player dribbled one past Carolina for a lead. Overtime Carolina got 17 shots in first one, should have won off Nelson turnover, but got to second overtime. Freak Bortuzzo shot into pile hit Barzal and we have a game five with a two day break.

New York Down 3-0 Not expecting a full comeback

New York loses two games they should have won

New York Islander Fan Central | 4/23/2024 01:25:00 AM |
They had to win game one, they outplay Carolina, and failed to do so with some help from the refs for Carolina, and were the better team. Game two they took only 12 shots, with none for the first sixteen minutes. Carolina had 110 shot attempts and outshot New York 19-1 in the third, and still New York had the lead with Carolina's goalie pulled. Tying goal/winning goal nine seconds later. ENG. 2-0 and all the excuses in place as to why they could have won the series but lost. Unreal, but hardly unexpected. First time in the teams history they lost a playoff game up 3-0. Ping pong Pageau returned, -3, no surprise.
Ultimately if they don't win this series these two games are where you have to look, they deserved one win, and despite being dominated were in position to win again, but failed. Roy's press conference was little more then two minutes. He failed to take his timeout, a goal was scored. We know what happenes when they win a bunch of games in a row, they lose a bunch of games in a row. Whether it be 4-5-6-7 this will be where they lost the series. It's bitterly disappointing but was expected because that's what this odd season has been since day one. Varlamov outplayed Andersen in game two, he had little help. Dobson got roasted like Stadium series in overtime on GWG. A high stick goal was disallowed for New York. For their 12 shots, Horvat also missed a breakaway.
Go prove everyone wrong. Only winning the series does that. Now they have plenty of excuses why they did not win.
