Guess the
#isles
got too comfortable actually being a stable franchise the last few years…had to find a way to look ridiculous again….it had been too long
Welcome to the world the newest Carver, and Isles/Bills/Yankees and Irish fan, William Michael Carver....born at 8:43am this morning, checking in at 7 lbs, 5 oz...mommy and baby doing great
I was very tough on Brock for a long time...since Barry has been here, Brock has been tremendous and he has been given his rightful due...but after this clip of him saying bye to Wilson, he now has
#isles
immunity for life from me
It’s one December game...but what’s great about this one is the
#isles
know they were playing on the big HNIC stage in Canada tonight, with a lot of Canadian media that has ridiculed them especially hard in the past 6 months all watching...and they stuck it up their ass
We’ve been talking about this guy for YEARS...he’s finally coming here...he was dubbed the white whale b/c we never thought we’d see the day...a figment of our imaginations....now young Ilya has come ashore...may he live up to the massive hype we’ve created...
#isles
Good morning…the New York Islanders hockey club plays their most significant game since 1984 tonight…..I’m sure everyone will get thru the next 12 hours waiting for it just fine…let’s have a day!
#isles
#StanleyCup
Sometimes
#isles
can never win...fans want a trade for almost 2 years...you get one, one that helps now...and some then complain about the price...incredible
The
#isles
aren’t ready to leave the bubble yet....it usually takes a mistake to win in OT and you have to capitalize, Lee and Eberle did...All heart from the whole squad...go win another game on Thursday and keep the ride alive...proud
I’ve said forever I don’t care about trading 1st round picks, especially ones that will be between 20-30 if it helps you win now...Pageau fills a major hole and will allow
#isles
to be a 4 line team again when 53 is healthy...and he has performed in playoffs...it’s a great move
I really never bitch and moan about national announcers during these games...it is what it is...but Boucher and Jones have been WAY too pro Flyer tonight...it’s always about them...it would be nice if NBC mixed AJ in one of these games, but Eddie O tomorrow will be a nice change
2nd year in a row the
#isles
throw together a dominant performance in the 1st round...another tremendous effort 5 on 5...Varly was excellent...now, take the next step from last year and keep moving, it's right there for anyone this year...why not the isles....have to be proud
Don’t burn jerseys, don’t say bad things about his fiancé or family...just boo the hell out of JT every time he ever steps foot in the
#isles
building again...he’s a fraud...see ya...time for Lou to put in the work, and he will...
Leddy did a tremendous job for the
#isles
….some great contributions during his time on the island….he is a UFA after this season, mix that with Detroit not being that good….if the isles need help on the blue line at the deadline due to injuries, etc….hey, ya never know
We have a long way to go obviously....but this team isn’t going to be a bottom feeder like some said, or just fighting for a playoff spot....they’re gonna be fighting for first place...what a time to be alive as an
#isles
fan
If you’re an
#isles
fan, it hurts because they played Tampa so close both years…but bottom line is, that’s an all time team…they just won the cup twice in less than a calendar year…that’s no joke…congrats to them
Hard to play a better road game than
#isles
just did…forced mistakes, stayed out of box till the end, great goaltending….got one down there now go get another on Tuesday…monster effort, a lot of heart…9 down, 7 to go
I don’t think I’ve ever in my life seen a staged pre game standing ovation for a player, in any sport, just because he got Boo’ed the game before...we’ve officially gone too far...but man, I’m glad the first time I saw it was for that guy
I think Jon is reaching here…it wasn’t egregious…also didn’t hear Jon get so sensitive about the refs last year when his team scored a big goal with SEVEN guys on the ice in game 2 against isles
"You’re gonna see what I mean when you see the winning goal. My heart breaks for the players because we probably still should be playing.”
Jon Cooper only took one question post-game, and was clearly not happy about the Avalanche's OT winning goal.
They can score as many as they want...series is still just 1-0...they don’t get extra points...every game is different and you get a chance to change the script Wed night
#isles
Once again a Barry Trotz timeout settles things down and stabilizes the game when things got hairy…everyone pulled the rope tonight, especially hero of the night, Ryan Pulock….best of 3 for
#isles
, back to Tampa, then I’ll see everyone Wed…more moments to come at the old barn
That’s a big time win right there...game 1 always huge...made a statement in 1st that they won’t be pushed around...gave the caps a billion PP’s, fair or otherwise, and overcame it to dominate the game 5 on 5 and come back and win handily...proud of that effort...huge win
#isles
Walking out of 345 Hudson for the last time...been quite the ride...just over 10 years between fan & network, met some of the closest friends I have now, & started my career here as an intern...but it’s officially on to the next chapter now...a bigger and better one...let’s rock
I’m sorry...I get trusting Lou...I get it...but this team is in 1st place and had Barzal playing w/ Komarov & Kuhnhackl on Saturday night...they needed to improve the offense...even if it was a small move...team deserved it w how they played...this is disappointing
#isles
People really rooting for Lehner tonight?
Hey, we all love Robin....but he’s playing the
#isles
...hope he’s awful tonight....team needs to get jump started here out of break....go light em up
#isles
now have a 3 pt lead in the metro...they've won 5 in a row and 15 out of 18...seems like they haven't allowed a goal in weeks...it's time to set the goals higher folks....this team is special, and for real
Congrats to Thomas Griess on a new deal in Detroit...will be remembered for some huge moments the last 5 plus years between the pipes for the
#isles
and for always being a total pro on and off the ice with some great charitable efforts...all the love TG
As much as rangers fans don’t want to hear it…we watched those last 3 games as
#isles
fans the last 2 years in final 4 and it was very similar…carbon copy games…..that’s a tough team to beat…go Avs
Just remember...this team didn’t lose 3 in a row in regs all year...they have heart...they’ve been a good road team...it’s not over....other
#isles
teams, maybe....not this one...fought back all year
The Tavares stuff bores me...he’s gone, who cares...we’ll have some fun at end of Feb when he comes back....
#isles
are a team that is fun to root for and will be an unexpected great watch in 2nd half....let’s ignore the goons in Canada and worry about the current team
I think losing Eberle was the best case scenario for
#isles
….keep Bailey, keep a few young guys that may still make it in Otto and Bellows, gain 5.5 of cap space to make more moves…now put it to good use
Huge win for the
#isles
....really showed the heart after Tampa tied the game up...they don’t wanna go home...a lot of hockey left...Brocktember forever!
Last year on March 19 and 21 the
#isles
got embarrassed 5-0 and 4-0 by the Bruins & Habs...they recovered to win 6 of their last 8 and get home ice...same 2 teams embarrass them almost a year later...will they get the same wake up call?
I have my doubts right now....
I love this trade for
#isles
…we’ve been watching the same group for years…it was time for something different…Beau, despite some great playoff success, was super inconsistent…Horvat is a damn good player, and hard to believe deal was made w/out extension close..let’s rock
Everyone have fun at all the meet ups today locally and around the country, some incredible crowds everywhere…I’m at home hanging with my top line mates…let’s go
#isles
If you were still grasping to some hope for this
#isles
season to have a massive turnaround…a lot of the air came out of the balloon tonight…real tough scene…
Long awaited in New York G Ilya Sorokin refused to sign an extension with CSKA and is set to sign with the
#Isles
right after his current contract expires (April 30)
Always bounces and excuses when the
#isles
win...amazing they win so many playoff games every year with all the luck they have...oh well, who cares...1-1 to the Coli!
Cassidy: "Tuukka didn't track pucks as well tonight, but [NYI] got some bounces. Sometimes you gotta be fortunate in this game. As far as Tuukka goes, they scored on a breakaway and were one save better than us."
That was ugly....worst regular season loss of the Barry Trotz era...and it’s not even close...we always talk about the way they respond, blah blah blah....they have A TON of work to do tomorrow night in Carolina....that was absolutely embarrassing
#isles
@IsleSeatPodcast
We say this a lot around here and on the
@IsleSeatPodcast
...but I think that this series showed you, with 4 wins down and 12 to go....anything can happen when this team plays their game...anything
Hard to complain when you’ve got a 17 game point streak...
#isles
were better tonight, going 0/6 on PP cost them a 2nd point...evens out one of the points they’ve probably stolen in this streak...keep rolling on Monday
A lot of heart right there...
#isles
had zero business winning that game...kept pushing, found a mistake and pounced...back to the barn to try close the door...have to be proud
Another monster effort from the
#isles
...tremendous job all around...better team at 5 on 5 again...PK was strong in 3rd when it needed to be...anything can happen here, keep pushing on Sunday...5 down, 14 to go...have to be proud
Headline for the intermission on NBCSN...”another failed challenge for the Flyers”.....they’re not even pretending at this point...
#isles
were the story that period....
Tough way to go down…
#isles
took the defending cup champs to a 1-0 game in game 7….they got the goal and locked the game up…just couldn’t find the offense and goals…tough pill to swallow…brutal
#isles
back in playoffs again, 3rd year in a row since Trotz & Lou arrived...focus this week can now be staying sharp and possibly grabbing home ice...tremendous effort by all shutting down the rags again...have to be proud of this team
A year ago we wondered if the white whale would ever play for the
#isles
....today he starts game 1 of the playoffs....what a ride...it’s not the beer league anymore, time to shine kid
What more can you say....just keep enjoying the ride....31 out of 32 points...16 straight games w points...off to Cali feeling good...
#isles
@IsleSeatPodcast
Starting to sound like 14,000 people will be doing 14,000 different things during the JT tribute video next week...I just want to party & watch the
#isles
beat his ass..more concerned about that happening
That was a playoff intensity type game...
#isles
played the style we've seen them play most of the year, mixed in with rock solid goaltending...I think the new lines at the top worked great...and the morale, at an all time low after Saturday, should build back up a bit...huge win
#isles
now with points in 7 straight games…3 shutouts on the season for the White Whale….they have 4 games left in this 13 game odyssey on the road to start the year and have a chance to come out of it in better shape than any of us could have imagined…very impressive start
