This is the Islanders theme song this season if I could put music to it....

Yeah, the playoff system is odd and they should probably go back to 1-8.

They need to decide if they want to be division-focused or not. Having a regular season with barely any divisional games, combined with a divisional playoff makes no sense.

I’d rather they fix the schedule than change the playoffs back to 1-8, personally.

Anyone noticing Pelech morphing into the Mummy?

This "we have to manufacture rivalries" is the f***ing pits tbh.

What's the difference? Aren't we playing either the Rangers or Carolina anyways? I really actually don't understand the logic.

In this case it hurts Detroit because they have one less spot to battle for. Boston would be an option for the Isles with a 1-8 situation.

I re-watched the contact behind the goal just before he skated off and I'm not really seeing anything obvious. Granted, looking at it on my phone....

Isles trade Varly last year at deadline like fans wanted, get a whopping draft pick. Varly signs with the Devils. Isles ride Sorokin and some scrub as the backup - just like fans wanted.

Very high probability Devils make the playoffs and the Isles are lotto picking this year. Instead…we have the current situation.

A very good point!

I went to the Islander vs Canadiens game…a number of good seats were still available. I don’t know who the man was who sang “O Canada” (was he with the Metropolitan Opera) but he used the English-French-English version. I thought that was nice. Usually with Montréal here they just use the English version
Also walked by the booth they have for the intermission broadcast with Shannon Hogan. She was done so she came up to the rope and talked to the little kiddies who were there. Maybe that is S OnP for these various sideline reporters but still nice.

Still think the Islanders should use part of their scoreboard for out of town scores. I know, people can use phones, even me. But the Rangers and Flyers manage to do it.

I don’t think it’s a skill issue, it’s a “I don’t feel like moving for the next two minutes unless I have the puck” issue
Don't worry about it. Team wins a bunch in a row, gets into a solid position, wins in OT, and.... finds something to complain about.
