Total respect to this classy display from all.

 

[On Edge]

Classy by our isles to do that for Carter

What Happened? Out of town and couldn’t watch.

 

[Osakahaus]

Lets hope that Pageau is okay after the fall he had earlier in the first. He did skate off on his own so fingers crossed.

What a whacky game. Isles win but the PK still continues to stink it up. We need to fix that up against Carolina.

They all stayed on the ice after finding out he’s retiring and shook his hand

Could not watch game. Pageau????

weird that autocorrect chose fondling there

It’s AI driven, so must be a common term you type.

Took a fall in the first after a shot from Ishakov. Skated off on his own power at least.

I have big thumbs. i is next to o. I noticed it right away lol

 

[scottywiper]

Ishakov certainly looked capable.
That was a suitably ridiculous game to end an insane regular season.

I'm glad they got the win, and gave Ish a taste of NHL action. Still not convinced he's a full time NHL player but he looked ok. Was also nice to see Palms hit 30 and Holmstrom to get some confidence - I think he'll play some in the Carolina series. Lastly, glad Sorokin got the win and he played fine, but today's game cemented the decision to go with Varly to start the series.

For a meaningless game, that was actually really fun. One of the games I enjoyed the most of any of the games this season.

I’d hope one random meaningless game wouldn’t convince you either way

Ishakov looks slippery. I like him as a bottom 6 dude like Gauthier.

I didn't catch the whole game. but Ish looked good from what I saw. But, not really a representative sample of NHL hockey in this game so definitely taken with a grain of salt.

How's this for a positive season takeaway: the Isles were tied for 11th in regulation losses in the league with 27, ahead of VGK and TBL and just behind TOR, COL and EDM. And in the playoffs, not losing in regulation means you go to OT where anything can happen. Staying positive.

Whatever negatives Ish has, he does have a skill set that we're not exactly overflowing with which could mesh with our players.

Fair enough - wouldn't write a guy off based on one game; but there's only so much evidence to go on and it might be the only chance to see him in NHL action. Besides, it certainly wasn't meaningless for him. In either case, I didn't notice enough from him to convince me they need to keep him around.

 

[Satan'sIsland81]

I will say it was just one game but based on watching Iskhakov tonight, there is no reason he should not be given a chance to make the team next season as a middle 6 minimum salary winger once we clear out Clutterbuck, Martin and Wahlstrom for the payroll. He could give this team an added dimension of speed and offensive creativity.

Roy finished with a 20-12-5 coaching record for the year. He had a .608 win percentage. Pretty damned good.

Weird way to end the season. They go 6-0, then 0-5-1, then 8-0-1 to finish. So 14-5-2 their last 21 games. In a weird roundabout way. It’s always great to head into the playoffs hot, and boy are the Isles hot.

Also helps that Roy coached much better than Lambert in about 9 fewer games

Palms getting 30 is freaking awesome. So happy he was able to stay healthy and produce.

Also if someone said the Isles are in playoffs and Sorokin isn't started, I'd laugh. But Varly got us to the cusp twice before and I trust him in the playoffs. I hope he stays solid.

honestly i feel like Varlamov is the right guy to use against Carolina.

I understand it was a meaningless game, but did anybody else kinda have a ‘why are you challenging this?’ on a guys 30th goal of the season?

And if Sullivan didn’t know before the game, then his spreadsheet GM is beyond dumb.

Sullivan plays fantasy hockey against Garth Snow, and Snowy had Palmieri.
