Islanders games are like visiting a distant cousin. The food sucks, you have nothing in common, and there's a weird smell in the house.
Confirmed with Link: This is a bad hockey team (22-23 edition)

It could be worse, Andrew Copp with his 2 points and 35% face off percentage was almost our 2nd line center.

It's all so tiresome
Lack of offense at 5v5 has been a theme since last season and it's not getting any better. Some of it is bad luck, on the other hand they are not creating the type of looks that you need to be a team that scores at a high rate. Too many point shots, too many shots outside of the dots, very few times you see them finding a seam to hit a guy backdoor. Their rush offense is non existent. Gotta fix it quickly.

This is a pass first and shoot at the very last minute team. Krieder falling back into the stratosphere also helps with this recipe of disappointment.
Blais was definitely more impressive the 3 games we saw him last season. But he’s obviously not the sole issue, it’s just something I noticed.
The need for a serviceable steady veterinary D is apparent. But this has been said.
I guess the one plus is it being the beginning of the season but if they keep this up it will eventually bite them in the ass and us frankly for wasting our time and money.

This is real bad. I don’t like this team. I don’t like watching games. I don’t like my life.

Don’t worry, our savior might return next game. When you’re down to nothing, Krav is up to something. Never forget that

The RJ of this thread only works if it's started by someone who ACTUALLY believes the team is bad.
Amazing

Isn't that where the contraindiction lies? I mean, robably the only way this team really makes strides is if the kids really grow and contribute. But, if GG doesnt allow that to happen (and runs the top 6 into the ground) even ifnit means better results during the season, then what really is most important? Therefore, I believe Drury has to give some sort of "job security" to GG in exactly what HE wants. Which should be the growth of the kids.
PP1 unit looks so cohesive, but what would it hurt to distribute the 2 minutes a little more evenly? Half the time its the youth that draws it to begin with, and loved someone comparing it to a worker with all the ideas and the boss gets credit for it.

Anyone catch the Red Wings telecast in which Mickey Redmond is a big part of? Man, remembering yesteryear he was one of my faves.
The INSIGHT he shared with yesteryear's NHL and the insight between the benches and the HONESTY he presented about the Rangers being a HUGE team that came to play, not liking what their past performances had shown.
This is a GOOD team, just trying gel, while GG fits the pieces to the puzzle together.

Well, with Michael Jackson your choice for avatar pic, a Kaapo Kakko being your username, there is no other choice. Your life has to suck in comparison.......guess what........join the crowd.

Mickey Redmond is great. I still don’t know about the team though. We need more scoring depth (which thankfully we got against Detroit). But will it be consistent? Will our bottom pairing D and goaltending stabilize? And will our core play up to their standards? Lots of question marks. They looked phenomenal in the beginning of the year. Maybe I’m asking for too much.

yeah, those initial games really set us up on "what they ARE capable of", and then nowhere to go but down. those questions are legit, and hoping in due time they get answered in a positive way. Thing is, we all know this team is capable of great things.....
within the locker room is where they have to demand excellence from one another. Remains to be seen.
Boston seems to be the only team without question marks, right now. That the Devils are playing this well is amazing, though.
Strome is on a team that is 4-10-1 and has yet to win in regulation. No reason to be bummed.
Thats just it. Their defense looks solid. Their offense looks fast paced but small. But goaltending has been their biggest problem for the past few years.
That hasn't gone away.

What are we bummed about? Finding out Strome is actually good?
We knew he was good. His production and analytics were fine when he wasn't on the ice with Panarin.
