GDT: #7| New York Islanders @ New York Rangers | October 19th | 7:00 PM| F/W-SO 4-3

[MJF]

This again was not one of Doug Weight’s better coaching jobs. The lineups he’s dressing are not putting this team in position to succeed.

 

[MikeyMike01]

If I was captain of this team, I'd tell everyone to thank Halak and get the **** off the ice ASAP. Nothing to celebrate here

Did you miss him giving up the world’s shittiest goal?

 

[beach]

JT should never be out there for 3-3. He is terrible. As for the rest of the game tonight, JT looked like he took three dramamine before the game.

 

[Sheva7]

This game was a nightmare lol the 2 points are nice tho

I hope JT finds his game again.

Is it so hard to go with the conventional line of thinking instead of always trying to outsmart the rest of the league? These clowns have been doing the same crap as Flintstone did.

Tavares was absolutely terrible this game. I love him a ton but he needs to step his game up and soon. This team needs him, Weight should be switching the first line up ASAP.

He needs to get more ice time, 24 Mins is just not doing it.

 

[IslandersGER]

get rid of Chimera, Tito back - and please reunite Bailey-JT-Lee, we cannot wait until December to see the chemistry of Tavares-Eberle combo. Ladd should be in the press box, he needs a wake up call.

 

[A Pointed Stick]

One of the worst jobs of coaching I have seen not attached to Capuano. Between that, our inability to protect a lead, and the 1st line looking like zombies you have to wonder what is going on with this club. Tavares looks awful right now, like he doesn't want to be here next year awful.

Barzal looked good and Pulock wasn't bad so that is something positive.

And we have Garth Snow as GM to lead the way for the next 100 years thanks to Wang. This is fine.

 

[BTrotts19]

Did I hear Weight blame "the bounces" in the post game? Jack isn't dead, he just switched bodies with Doug Weight...

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

Holy schnikes was that 3rd period super bad.

Glad we got the 2 points. Glad we scored a PPG. Glad Barzal was flying around the ice. That's about it.

 

[NewYorkIsles]

John Tavares does not sound like he's happy after listening to that post game interview

 

[lazycop]

Awful win.

 

[On Edge]

Tavares is not helping himself so far this year. Someone may give him $10m but I am not so sure he should get it.

I agree. Something is up with him.

 

[Cavonnier]

I agree. Something is up with him.

Stan Fischler is sort of a dotard, but I wouldn't have expected Tavares to talk to him that way. It's unnerving, given the contract situation. An unhappy Tavares is not good for this franchise.

The ice was awful in the worlds most famous arena but you wouldn’t hear that from anyone on an MSG broadcast.

 

[mm11]

I agree. Something is up with him.

didn't he just get engaged? Just saying..

After kicking Halak for that tieing goal

 

[Zeeker]

Remember when Tavares did the "Yes Yes Yes" chant after that OT win in NJ a few seasons ago? I miss the old JT, it's sad what it might come to.

 

[PK Cronin]

Felt like the game had a bunch of different shifts in it.

Early on Lee was the dominant force in the game. The middle was Barzal controlling most of the play. Followed up by an abysmal third period from what looked like a tired forward group and a napping Halak. Thought Bailey was really good defensively tonight, Pulock made a great play to save a goal on one of the few even strength shifts he had, Mayfield and Pelech were both solid (sans bonehead plays). I still hate the 1-1-3 neutral zone system. Take the two points and run.

Jack Capuano's real name is actually Charles Lee Ray.

What'd he do?

 

[CupHolders]

Holy hell... the ice at MSG sucks. Maybe the Rangers should play at Barclays when/if the Isles go to Belmont.

Seemed that every time Josh Ho-Sang went up the ice into the Rangers zone... Rangers went back the other way with speed and for great chances.

Isles right now are a very raw and an unfinished product. They have had a lot of turnover in players the past two years.

 

[Bood12]

happy with the 2 points even if we almost blew it, even up 3-1 going into the 3rd I would have taken 1 point as I was expecting the Rangers to turn it on
