GDT: #43| New York Rangers @ New York Islanders | January 12th | 1:00 PM | F/L 2-1

[GOLFWANG]

we lost this game on our own

but refs suck

 

[steveat]

can someone check what our % (Wins/Loss) is when Sbisa is on the roster?

 

[islesfan186]

These refs ****ed us too.

0 for 6. They f***ed themsevles nicely

 

[IslandersGER]

booh booh

 

[DalGoal4Cups]

Can we finally trade that bum Eberle? big fail by trotz today sitting MDC and playing Ross. Sad.

This team is so much better with MDC / JHS in the lineup.

 

[islesfan186]

Doesn't he always play us well?

2 for 2, so I guess

 

[Nassau Revisited]

Piss poor PP today.

Scott Gomez

 

[Tres Peleches]

Refs can go f*** themselves

Ross Johnston can ride the pine

MDC and Ho Sang back in please

For the Love of God stop playing an inferior lineup because of “tuffness”

 

[NYI365]

Bring Ho-Sang back up and insert MDC and take out the trash in Johnston and Clutterbuck

 

[Konk]

These refs ****ed us too.

I won't say they f***ed us, we f***ed ourselves with that PPPP (piss poor power play) we deploy. But truth be told, the refs were terrible at their jobs all-around tonight.

 

[ML19]

Refs suck. You miss a 4 minute double minor on Clutterbuck, don't call the blatant hook on Barzal, and then continue to let the rangers cheat on the f/o. I f***ing hate the Rangers.

 

[Cameraguy]

That was painful to watch. Our defense needs target practice.

 

[gordie43]

Another loss that can be placed squarely on the PP. It’s and absolute MUST to score 5 on 3. No pressure few shots. Something has to give.

 

[islesfan186]

That was painful to watch. Our defense needs target practice.

I'd make Pulock stay on the ice and shoot pucks at an empty net until he has blisters. Dude couldn't hit the water if he was standing on a pier

 

[Skip To My Lou]

I don't know why we're complaining about missed penalty calls, we went 0-6 on the PP. They deserved to lose this game. Awful effort.

 

[xIsle]

That linesman #83 (Matt MacPherson): what a terrible non-call on the faceoff indeed.

 

[SI90]

Since The STL game we haven’t looked too good

 

[Metnut]

We’re too easy to play against with so many grinders and some of our limited skill not even in the lineup.

Third line was a liability again all game and took a stupid costly penalty again when down a goal late in the game.

We’ve just went through a stretch of games vs a bunch of lottery teams and the going is about to get a whole lot tougher.

Personally, I enjoyed watching the games a lot more with JHS and even MDC in the lineup. The team seemed to play a lot better too before JHS got sent down.

 

[islesfan186]

With a middle of the road PP, the isles would be leading the division. It is CLEAR AS f***ING DAY the PP needs to be addressed. Both in terms of systems and personnel. Clutterbuck does not belong anywhere near a PP. Nelson does not belong on the first unit. Nor does Leddy.

The PP will continue to cost this team games. Cost them 2 against Carolina and 2 tonight. Should be 2nd in the division right now

 

[ScaredStreit]

It's not the refs fault that we can't generate shots-let alone score-on multiple 5-on-3's.

 

[Flair19Woo]

The roster today is so one dimensional. Maybe time to reinsert MDC and Ho sang. They’re also not battling and the PP is dreadful.

 

[Quickdraw2828]

I'm in for the JHS/MDC plan.

 

[Le Grec]

Don't care about the loss, but I don't get why RJ And Sbisa played.
And yes, the refs were brutal, but the players lost this game.

Tomorrow will be fun...

 

[BTrotts19]

I'm fine with MDC getting back into the lineup but Johnston had zero effect on the loss, NONE. Leddy playing like a beer league guy and lets a 4th liner school him and a joke of a PP were the reasons we lost. And let's not pretend that MDC has been dominating play when he's in. He's played well but has he driven play and been the reason we've won, I'd say no.

 

[periferal]

The correct result based on how the team played today.

Trotz should now know this team. Hopefully he's in Lou's ear about who should be resigned, traded, and what holes need to be filled.
