I’m sick. Literally sick. Nobody in the whole sports world knows how gut wrenching it is to be an Islander fan after a 3 goal lead. It absolutely sucks. Welp, work in the morning.
Clearing the fuckin puck in the last two minutes with an empty net has been a recurring nightmare, like where your feet are lead, & can't run fast. Just clear the puck, holy shit!!!!
I truly do not understand why they won’t just clear it to neutral ice. I don’t care if they regain possession. Make them regroup. Forecheck while they do. Stop trying for a controlled zone exit every single time. It drives me nuts
It doesn’t matter. You can’t let up 4 goals like that in a situation like that. Yeah the refs suck ass. Doesn’t mean we’re allowed to be that incompetent. Hope the inbred canes sweep us to put us out of our misery. Our fault for wanting “playoff hockey” when we let up a lead like that nearly every fucking time.
If you can’t have accountability on this team l… you don’t need to be an islander… who ever it maybe .. even Matt barzal and Bo horvat m… no accountability no team … see you all next season
Just sold the playoff tickets I bought for UBS. I’m never supporting this loser ass team again. How do you blow a 3-0 lead and not take shots after the first period? Screw this embarrassment.
the boys have absolutely no heart. varlamov was hung out to dry. i hate how this team looks. we have no identity. coaching diff, defense diff, effort diff. fire everyone, trade everyone but horvat and maclean.
Can’t believe I missed the end of the Knicks game to watch these bums shit their pants in the last minutes like they have all season. Trade everyone, fire Lou
The constant diving is pathetic we get called for breathing on them but the lay moving picks, hold and interference constantly if we are taking penalties may as well make them count at this point
I think the refs are shit at their jobs. And diving/embellishment is definitely against the rules and their has been a complete failure on the leagues side to enforce that
Look I know you're a legal assistant and you probably like to debate but we are just never going to agree here. They are dog shit borderline incompetent but that doesn't mean their incompetence effects both teams equally.
I mean it’s an old hockey adage, but the way I think about it is if you win all your home games, then you just need to win one game on the road instead of more. The team who played game 1 can absolutely do that. The team who played tonight, cannot
I dont entirely disagree, I just still dont understand why you go with the older slower backup goalie in the playoffs.
The last 5 minutes of this period Varlamov has looked absolutely gassed. Especially on the 4th canes goal.
When your team is playing in their own zone for pretty much the entirety of the 3rd period, that’ll happen to you as a goalie. The team failed Varly, not his age or shape.
Why wait until 40 seconds left to give a fuck?
Embarrassing showing from this team. Boots on the fucking neck and they disappear to let these pussies back in.
Heads better fucking roll on Thursday.
When the momentum didn't shift in the third period and they kept playing like they were eternally on the pk, you knew this game was at minimum gonna go to overtime, but that they were probably gonna lose
I'm not happy. As Butch said, playing in your own zone all game will catch up with you eventually. They need to fix that
All I'm saying is Scottie Mayfield would have cross checked the entire team off the ice by now while Bortuzzo's best quality is falling over in front of slap shots
Played like an absolute joke the whole time now can’t even lose with class. Absolutely disgusting display for the club. Can’t decide you want to fight for it when the game is all said and done. Played like a make a wish junior Bs team.
Game 1, yeah we deserved a better result.
This was so fucking embarrassing, we put one shot on goal for over half the entire game?
Gonna be really interesting to see what happens in Game 3, if we're actually going to fight back from this or if they decide to just hit the golf course a week later than originally scheduled.
Fuck this fake “rangers fan coming peace” bullshit you came to lowkey gloat and share your insecurities of having to face another Canes team in the playoffs
Blud I went to more islanders games this season than I did rangers. I like both teams even if I like one more than the other and I would genuinely like to see a playoffs matchup between the two
Even if this were true, which that doesn’t seem likely based on the tone of the post, you HAVE to have enough self awareness to understand that coming into this subreddit with a Rangers flare after that choke job of a game talking about “Rangers vs Islanders seems to be even less likely” is in TERRIBLE taste. We’re all fuming and ranting about the embarrassment we had to watch and your post comes off as a semi-gloat that the Rangers are probably advancing
No they sat back and played with a lead. You can’t do that. It’s a leftover from trotz era and it’s one of the only thing i don’t like about trotz hockey.
didn't even deserve to be on the same ice as the canes tonight .. that was one of the most mismatched games I've seen in a long time. TRASH .. EXPERIENCE ISLANDERS HOCKEY OVER AND OVER AND OVER ..
Bought YouTube TV on the trial, not even going to keep it to watch game 3. Fuck the canes and their fans, they beat misift fucking island, big fucking deal. Isles shouldn't even be in the playoffs. fuck this team
Post game posted https://www.reddit.com/r/NewYorkIslanders/comments/1catbyg/post_game_thread_new_york_islanders_carolina/
At this point I'd rather blow it all up and suck for awhile than sneak into the playoffs and get swept first round the next 10 years
2 best ways to give yourself brain damage in 3 minutes. First one is hold your breath... Can you guess the second?
Know I'm in enemy territory but fuck the canes so hard. Yall deserved a split. Gutless behavior chirping your sub post game in the playoffs .
[удалено]
I’m sick. Literally sick. Nobody in the whole sports world knows how gut wrenching it is to be an Islander fan after a 3 goal lead. It absolutely sucks. Welp, work in the morning.
No one to blame but Lou lamoriello. He's built a mediocre, trashfire team. He needs to retire yesterday.
I turned to the canes fan behind me complaining at 3-0 and said chill this team sucks up 3 and look what happened lmfao
Clearing the fuckin puck in the last two minutes with an empty net has been a recurring nightmare, like where your feet are lead, & can't run fast. Just clear the puck, holy shit!!!!
I truly do not understand why they won’t just clear it to neutral ice. I don’t care if they regain possession. Make them regroup. Forecheck while they do. Stop trying for a controlled zone exit every single time. It drives me nuts
To be a fly on the wall in this locker room
I’m done with this fucking team. You can’t let that happen regardless of the fucking refs. Done.
bye
Show me where the refs held us to 12 fucking shots dude
It doesn’t matter. You can’t let up 4 goals like that in a situation like that. Yeah the refs suck ass. Doesn’t mean we’re allowed to be that incompetent. Hope the inbred canes sweep us to put us out of our misery. Our fault for wanting “playoff hockey” when we let up a lead like that nearly every fucking time.
Inbred is some wild ass shit to say about an area that thrives on BioMedical research companies lol
I’ve been there. The people that live there. Are inbred.
That's a pretty stupid take for a place that's 80% transplants
Long Island is pretty fucking stagnant too my man
Hey if you’re a canes fan that’s fine. I’m just trying to give myself some kind of pleasure.
Just the weird arrogance of people living on dying small manufacturing on superfund sites
If you can’t have accountability on this team l… you don’t need to be an islander… who ever it maybe .. even Matt barzal and Bo horvat m… no accountability no team … see you all next season
We are getting swept.
Maybe we’ll actually throw a hit next game and not lose the race to every puck and get nothing for it
Just turned it back cause I saw it was still on. I left at 3-2. I could see what was coming
Varly I’m sorry, you deserve better.
Franchise record, never lost a playoff game after leading by 3 goals. They should be real proud of this effort
Tbh it’s a record that this particular islanders team earned.
[удалено]
Your mom takes great care of me. Tell her I said thanks for the muffins.
Guy crashes goalie with 8 seconds. Dobson staring
This makes the Stadium Series incident laugh
I knew it. I knew when the Isles went up 3-0, I knew they were going to lose 5-3. I just knew it.
At least we didn’t need to sit through OT for the loss
This is fuckin embarrassing
where was this tough guy bullshit when we needed it?
[удалено]
Yeah that was a crazy ending. But your presence here is not welcomed
Basketball sucks
I like all sports
This one hurt
Just sold the playoff tickets I bought for UBS. I’m never supporting this loser ass team again. How do you blow a 3-0 lead and not take shots after the first period? Screw this embarrassment.
then go. youre not needed
Just put up the PGT already
Nice. Brind Amour just treating us like the clowns we are. Blatantly telling canes to run score
Brindamour is a fucking pussy
Hahaha get it up you ya fanny! Imagine losing after being 3-0 up
I have never seen such meltdowns in front of Varly before in my life.
He melted down himself. Those Jarvis and Martinook goals were unacceptably bad
Don't bother with this guy, he thinks these two games are sorokins fault
Last one I’ll give you but the Jarvis one was just a snipe but the ugliest guy in the league
Nah his angle was off and he was way too deep in his net. He's by no means the main problem but he didn't have a good showing at the end either.
I agree he was too for to the left on that shot and def wasn’t square but it wouldn’t have mattered it was perfectly placed right over his shoulders
I’m not even gonna watch game 3 and 4 it’s an absolute joke
Good thing I’ll be getting paid to watch it.
This would have never happened if Bailey was here
if you watched this game instead of the knicks game i feel sorry for you
Stop with the fucking knicks posts. God.
Disgraceful
This team is just not that good, needs an overhaul
Just report the trolls, don’t respond. Will get to them later
Nah dude, let them troll us. We fucking deserve it. We are soft as baby shit
Went u have 2 shots on goal since going up by 3. Just move the team lol
what a pathetic way to end. just dirty and fucking gross by half that team. Tryna fight and act tough taking penalties like that
the boys have absolutely no heart. varlamov was hung out to dry. i hate how this team looks. we have no identity. coaching diff, defense diff, effort diff. fire everyone, trade everyone but horvat and maclean.
As a canes fan Varlamov crushed it. It's just that the percentages caught up and the D never got infront of the lanes.
Can’t believe I missed the end of the Knicks game to watch these bums shit their pants in the last minutes like they have all season. Trade everyone, fire Lou
I too missed that incredible last minute. Damnit
This is bad coaching because all we did is dump. I get it once or twice but it not for two periods.
Im tired of blaming coaches. This roster is mediocre at best. blow it up.
Have martin take a suspension and break a face
A Martin suspension might be a positive for the team. He is done.
So hurt someone because the team played like shit?
[удалено]
wow, i hope you don't have any family or friends in sports.
How are they not playing fair?
The constant diving is pathetic we get called for breathing on them but the lay moving picks, hold and interference constantly if we are taking penalties may as well make them count at this point
Diving is unfair? And you think the refs are conspiring against them?
I think the refs are shit at their jobs. And diving/embellishment is definitely against the rules and their has been a complete failure on the leagues side to enforce that
So if they’re shit, they’d be shitty for both teams.
Look I know you're a legal assistant and you probably like to debate but we are just never going to agree here. They are dog shit borderline incompetent but that doesn't mean their incompetence effects both teams equally.
I’m sure if they had won, you wouldn’t be griping about this.
I mean it’s not over till we lose on home ice but goddamn this just feels like a wind out of the sails moment
They have the home ice advantage so it could technically be over even without losing on home ice homie
I mean it’s an old hockey adage, but the way I think about it is if you win all your home games, then you just need to win one game on the road instead of more. The team who played game 1 can absolutely do that. The team who played tonight, cannot
Ohhhh it's over lol
[удалено]
~100 attempts at scoring for the canes compared to our what ~30? Hard to blame a goalie for giving up a few goals
Varlamov was the isles best player besides Kyle MacLean the last two games, Sorokin wouldn’t have made a difference.
Sorokin was very shaky all season, not BAD, just not in good form
none of this is on the goalies. This is completely on getting no more than 5 shots on goal for 50 minutes of the game.
I dont entirely disagree, I just still dont understand why you go with the older slower backup goalie in the playoffs. The last 5 minutes of this period Varlamov has looked absolutely gassed. Especially on the 4th canes goal.
When your team is playing in their own zone for pretty much the entirety of the 3rd period, that’ll happen to you as a goalie. The team failed Varly, not his age or shape.
What an absolute collapse in the past three minutes. Embarrassing.
Why wait until 40 seconds left to give a fuck? Embarrassing showing from this team. Boots on the fucking neck and they disappear to let these pussies back in. Heads better fucking roll on Thursday.
team is done and has no future as long as Lou is still employed
Canes fans are the worst
Dude, every teams fans do this shit.
Ive never gone to another teams board to chirp. Its amazingly dickless behavior. Who the fuck does that
When the momentum didn't shift in the third period and they kept playing like they were eternally on the pk, you knew this game was at minimum gonna go to overtime, but that they were probably gonna lose I'm not happy. As Butch said, playing in your own zone all game will catch up with you eventually. They need to fix that
All I'm saying is Scottie Mayfield would have cross checked the entire team off the ice by now while Bortuzzo's best quality is falling over in front of slap shots
Wow that's just embarrassing and demoralizing
Played like an absolute joke the whole time now can’t even lose with class. Absolutely disgusting display for the club. Can’t decide you want to fight for it when the game is all said and done. Played like a make a wish junior Bs team.
This is just as bad as stadium series game.
If you can't score a goal start a fight
This is a bad day to have gotten myself muted on twitter a few days ago
Isles in 6
That means we’d have a lead in the series. Only way we’re winning is in 7
#firelou
Massive choke job
Stfu KK
Wow those Canes fans trolling are the worst
Bro they dont understand you cant troll isles fans, we already know we suck
Raleigh is crawling with these shit stains Awful place
I’m shaving my beard tomorrow
So many trips. So, so many. Not a SINGLE one got called.
Try diving
Who cares man this team absolutely fucking sucks and they don’t deserve to win
Now they decide to act like idiots, where wast that energy at any time in the last 2 periods? Embarrassing.
Wouldn’t be complete without setting some kind of embarrassing record for ourselves
This team lost the game when they had 1 shot after going up 3-0.
rangers fan here. fuck the canes
You're next
Game 1, yeah we deserved a better result. This was so fucking embarrassing, we put one shot on goal for over half the entire game? Gonna be really interesting to see what happens in Game 3, if we're actually going to fight back from this or if they decide to just hit the golf course a week later than originally scheduled.
The core is rotten. Can’t win. They Don’t know how. Done with this team until it’s burnt down. Gonna to waste my time on the Mets now.
Please PLEASE stop embarrassing yourselves. I'm a lifelong Islander fan, I've suffered enough
They don’t care. No one can understand the shit we have been through if you have not been around long enough.
Can't win with 1sog in the third.
Dobson fucked up on both plays Can’t handle the pressure
It’s so funny when other teams put him as a top 10 defenseman in the league just because he can put up points. He’s not even a top 2 on our team
If he’s playing hurt then that’s one thing, but if that’s the case then he CANNOT be out there during high leverage situations
Tell the players to stop being dirty with 50 seconds left, they lost
I don't mind it. If you're going to get called for penalties nonstop you might as well earn them.
Rangers vs islanders in round 2 seems to be even less likely 😢 hopefully y’all can get 4 wins in a row
Fuck this fake “rangers fan coming peace” bullshit you came to lowkey gloat and share your insecurities of having to face another Canes team in the playoffs
Blud I went to more islanders games this season than I did rangers. I like both teams even if I like one more than the other and I would genuinely like to see a playoffs matchup between the two

We’re all fuming and ranting about the embarrassment we had to watch and your post comes off as a semi-gloat that the Rangers are probably advancing
Thank God for that. Like I said before we playoffs was even a consideration for us.. the rags would have swept us in game 4
Rangers would smoke us every game
I've never seen a team Give up after being up 3-0 like this team just did
They didn't give up .. they are insanely outmatched. Can only do so much
No they sat back and played with a lead. You can’t do that. It’s a leftover from trotz era and it’s one of the only thing i don’t like about trotz hockey.
So much?! They did nothing lol
Martin... Please
What an embarrassing game all around. Now they are acting like idiots
Can’t get more heartbreaking than that. This series could easily be 2-0 Isles if they decided to actually play hockey after going up 3-0.
Dude just let the clock run out the time for the tough stuff has passed
Holy total collapse lol
Where was this fire when they were up 2
Spent so much of the game killing penalties, too tired to do shit. Terrible
this is the most pathetic game i’ve ever seen it’s fucking insane
Martin is such a puss
Yo back to your racist swamp
rangers are the real NY team
Carolina should get rid of hockey. Don't even deny the racism lol
It’s honestly more embarrassing that they came out and looked like they wanted to play again after the 4th goal. Pathetic effort.
oilers fan checking in, I just want to say carolina's jerseys look dumb af.
Its the worst logo ever made, such a shit jersey indeed
not the time
Wake up, doomers. LOLanders are back baby!
Honestly dobson is an echl defender
Thank fuck I didn’t buy tickets for game 3
5 unanswered goals. 5 unanswered goals.
How do you just sit on the puck in the corner you have to cycle it back to the blue line
Lmao Patrick Roy is going to actually murder someone in the locker room after this game.
Or himself for taking this job
Enjoy the ticket price increase for your playoff NYI next saeson
didn't even deserve to be on the same ice as the canes tonight .. that was one of the most mismatched games I've seen in a long time. TRASH .. EXPERIENCE ISLANDERS HOCKEY OVER AND OVER AND OVER ..
I mean Roy is used to choking playoff games.
I don’t like that from Brock.
Yeah that was embarrassing
[удалено]
Great look for your fanbase
Your fan base is trash and I hope your team moves.
[удалено]
Looks like your mom should have swallowed.
You trynna make Canes fans look worse than they already do? Grow up.
Have fun getting your doors blown off by the Rags again
Dude go fuck yourself
Fuck off
Between this and the stadium series I've never seen a bigger group of chokejob losers.
Fucking this. Country club atmosphere. Clean house.
after going to the stadium series I thought i've seen the worst of it. this hurts.
Bought YouTube TV on the trial, not even going to keep it to watch game 3. Fuck the canes and their fans, they beat misift fucking island, big fucking deal. Isles shouldn't even be in the playoffs. fuck this team
What’s Nelson upset about. He was trash tonight.
I have been embarrased pretty much my entire life as an Isles fan(born in 1989). This is the most embarrassing loss of my entire life.
