I'm not going to let this game ruin my week(end).

 

[we want cup]

I can't wait to get to the gym tonight after this.

What's a "gym?"

Joke doesn't work well typed, I guess...

 

[Captain Lindy]

I'm gonna need pizza after this one.

This is a chocolate night for me.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

I have a client sitting in my seats for this game...

I guess I can kiss that business goodbye.

“@PLeonardNYDN: Rangers say only that Stepan is injured and will not returnâ€

This is a way bigger deal than any loss tonight. Hopefully this isnt serious or we could have some trouble brewing.

 

[Hire Sather]

Stepan just want an update about Stepan

 

[Raspewtin]

“@PLeonardNYDN: Rangers say only that Stepan is injured and will not returnâ€

I care about this a **** of a lot more than this loss.

**** me.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Not acceptable to completely stop playing for an entire period of a game.

Those that sat through and paid $200 a pop to be at this duck fest need to let this team hear it. I'd be livid if I spent that much to go to the game and see that kind of effort.

Last game I went to was the 5-1 drubbing by Tampa. Decided I'd save my money since then.

Please be ok Derek

Flip over a car and flip the bird at a hipster for me.

 

[Kakko]

We didn't take this seriously enough, maybe now we will.

Yeah, no.

Sometimes you just get outplayed, regardless of any imaginary complacency

 

[Machinehead]

This is a chocolate night for me.

At this rate, I might put chocolate on the pizza.

[The Gloaming]

This isnt that big of a deal to me. Were not even halfway through our season yet. 7 points is not that much to make up. The Isles were geared up for this game and we came off a long west coast trip. Settle back in and start another streak on Thrusday.

I was all riled up and angry after the second period, but I've since calmed down and this is basically my thought process now. And this was the most important game to the islanders since ever (not including their 5 playoff games in 20 years). Its just 1 loss out of an 82 game season. Learn from it and move on.

 

[pjr378]

These games are always so dangerous. The other team thinks its a big rivalry and they want respect. They come out swinging and have a chip on their shoulder. To us, its just another game that we need to win. We don't match their intensity for one period, and then boom, its 3-0.

Tale of two periods. The Islanders played our game in the 1st, both sides kept the ice open and we got a few odd man rushes and almost scored. 2nd period, Isles give no space and shut down our zone, and we're cooked. NO SIZE and NOT ENOUGH BALLS are our problems in these situations. We only play one half of the game. That's why when we roll, we look brilliant and when things get tight, we play **** like this.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Thats kind of a big deal. We can't afford an injury now to one of our best players.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

No Stepan speculation without links to or tweets from reputable media sources.

 

[Steve Kournianos]

Hats off to the Isles.

Hats off for taking 30 years to have a good team.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Can we just get rid of all star games in sports besides baseball? Does anyone like them?

 

[Captain Lindy]

At this rate, I might put chocolate on the pizza.

That's a good idea.

 

[member 116805]

Yeah, pretty comical.

Herman is clown. Thats comical

 

[Raspewtin]

I like that the Rangers get some time off.

Other than that, don't even give half a ****.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Hats off to the Isles.

Hats off for taking 30 years to have a good team.

If there are any fans who have no right to say that, it's us.

This team didn't win a division for 48 years straight.

 

[Beer League Sniper]

Hats off to the Isles.

Hats off for taking 30 years to have a good team.

Not everyone can pick in the top 10 for like 20 years straight and have a good team.

 

[Machinehead]

Yeah, no.

Sometimes you just get outplayed, regardless of any imaginary complacency

It's very possible that teams get complacent. They're human. They're an excellent team but I don't think the Islanders are this much better than us.

 

[NYRangerFan*]

At this rate, I might put chocolate on the pizza.

And ketchup on top.
