Gm from Southampton...catching your show as I disembark the Queen Mary 2. Barzy is playing harder but has shown he and others are not capable of carrying the team. Lous's apparent lifetime appointment has doomed the team. Clearing the bad contracts is the best we can hope for
Good morning team! Gil, I agree. If the top line lack of scoring issues comes down to one player, that's an easy fix. If we're being honest with ourselves, the 2nd line is the only line generating something. There's nothing worse than having a scoring slump with all the players of what's suppose to be your top line. Another issue, how is it, at this level, players still have indecision of what to do with the puck. Where is that team from the preseason? I enjoyed watching them. If there is any team that needs a win streak desperately, it's our Islanders. Starting the win streak, breaks our losing streak, and I think it should happen starting tonight. Hang in there Varly and Sorokin. The goal support will happen soon. Everyone, have a great day and wonderful weekend! Enjoy the game tonight, it's the start of our win streak. Can't wait to talk about this one, and the win against the Rangers as well. See you all again Monday. Until then.. Let's Go Islanders!!
Unfortunately, it's more than one player. You're right, the 2nd line is the only line producing consistently. They will eventually get a win streak, but it should come soon or they could be out before we get to Thanksgiving. Thanks for the comment Tony. LGI.
This guy has in no way earned the money he is getting. He does not want to get hit and if you are a scorer you have to give up the body once in awhile. He has many opportunities to go to the net or across the middle and he tries to pass instead of driving to the net. How many times does he just skate in circles only to cough it up resulting in a scoring chance for the other team. He reminds me of Blake Cuomo getting the puck and doing the same moves every time. Cuomo would get the puck and always skate behind the net well Barzal does the same thing gets the puck skates in circles and the rest of the league knows it.Got to have a lot more toughness and pride in your play.
Spot on, he plays no D, doesn’t want contact, turns over the puck to much and right now he seems to be only looking for Horvat, forcing the play instead of allowing the game to come to him.
Barzy won't change much at this point in his career but you're right about his shortcomings. Blake Comeau, interesting comparison. Thanks for the comment, 2tellthetruth-is2um. LGI.
This team is poorly constructed. Lou is never going to trade any of the guys from the good old boys club. Last year they should have moved Palmeri and Nelson at the deadline. Now we have a tesm thst is not good enough to make thenplayoffs, the goal should be trying to win a cup.
Very poorly constructed. No young prospects ready, aging team, not enough scoring. I could go on. I hope the owners realize a change is needed at GM if Lou won't trade "his guys" from the old boys club. Thanks for the comment, Bigislanderfan. LGI.
Good 🌄, Gil, how are you? 21 goals a game, that's 2 goals a game. The PP is not good at all. Right now, the Islanders are straight up terrible. Barzy isn't getting the job done. I understand they miss Anthony DuClair, BUT THEY NEED TO STEP UP, AND THEY KNOW IT. They need to get back to basics. Will Patrick Roy play chess with the lines again? Yes, he will. I hope they bring up some of the kids or someone who's got some muscle. The blue line is no better. Mike Reilly and Maxim Tsyplakov are the only Islanders are ➕️ 1. You're right, IT'S A COMMUNITY EFFORT IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD. They're in Buffalo tonight, and at the Garden to play those dreaded Rangers on Sunday afternoon. The Sabres are uneven team, hut they lost to the 🐈. Their PP, and the PK could get better, but will it? The 🐈 still had their number, that makes me 😅. I hope The Islanders don't give them the satisfaction of looking at them and saying fresh meat. If the Islanders come out flat, it's gonna be a long afternoon. HAPPY 🎂, MATT MOLSON. He had 3 30 goal seasons. In a succession. He had a hat trick as the Islanders declawed the 🐈. Hear from you later, Gil, I'll probably be 👀 Game 6 of the 1980 Semifinals against to get make me feel better, and to 👀 Trots get in Schonfeld's face since they never got along anyway on that note, I may or may not be wrong. I'll also 👀 The Night Before 🎄 Eve to 👀 Trots ate the Rangers alive, and now LET'S GO ISLANDERS.
Like I said, I fear you'll be watching a lot of classic games these days. Now, Barzy out of the lineup tonight. Upper body injury ,we'll know more after he sees doctors this weekend.I hope for a better performance against Buffalo and especially the Rangers. Thanks for the comment, Cindy. Have a great weekend and LGI.
Martin there was zero reason to give him a new contract if he had a use it was when Tuchuck was slapping Varley around and taking a crap in our crease. Dudes a family man he isn’t looking to bring it anymore.
Hi Gil!! Trade away!! Get some #1’s left and right. We will have $$$ soon and our future is Eiserman, Dufour, Maggio, Carlson, a couple of our young upcoming D core and acquire a legitimate super star with the $$$ coming in--and a good goalie will be available. Trade Brock and let go of the rest. I love Sorro but he’s costing us number 1’s the last couple years and he deserves so much better. I’m at a point that anyone is tradable--However don’t make the same mistake with Eiserman that ya did with Barzie. Louless is convinced once Duclair returns we will rebound. Another Gm must make these moves. Only way to fix this is to unload. If Charra and Luongo can be traded (albeit young) so can these guys!! It’s gotta be another guy--Louless will keep this team until he is in a wheelchair at the Bingo house. This can’t go on--this is a professional franchise bad or not--you can’t run a professional franchise like this!! Overpaying bottom 6 as he does. 6/7/8 year contracts is insane. As I look back--losing pajama boy May have turned into a detriment because those huge contracts haven’t ceased. What would I do? Acquire an enforcer and a sandpaper guy to save this season. Matty is no longer an option. I truly believe the team is afraid to play physical because they know the results. Getting older with Matty was puzzling. If--if the Rags put out a physical team Sunday I’d sit Mayfield. Rempke (who is a tough punching bag) but will take Mayfield out easily and already took Matty--and the other two Rag tough guys--will embarrass us and their overall talent will demean this team. Not looking forward to Sunday. I feel Mayfield will have to answer the bell and will get bloodied and will smile all the way to the dressing room for repairs. Gil--this skating crap did not work because we suck! However no need to get beat up and pushed around. It’s already happening. Take care my Islander friend.
Frankie, I know Lou still believes in this team especially when Duclair returns. He's wrong, but that's Lou. Now no Barzal tonight. I hope Lou or his successor creates the cap space and makes the changes needed. Not sure about Dufour and Maggio right now, neither is producing at Bridgeport. I hope they pick it up. Thanks for the comment and have a great weekend. LGI.
This team sucks period.. it's time to bring up Mathew maggio and William dufour! And bring up carlstrom. I hate to say it but nelson wahlstrom holstrom and palmieri must be traded for 2nd round picks or a couple of young snipers.and Lou stinkarello must be fired!
Mercy, they should trade some of the guys you mentioned. Won't get that much for Wahlstrom or Holmstrom but they should move on from them anyway. Unfortunately, neither Maggio nor Dufour is playing well in Bridgeport right now. Not sure they're ready for the NHL although could they do any worse than what we've got now? Thanks for the comment and LGI.
Its on ownership now. Team needs new leadership and direction. The isles are so far behind other teams in org direction its setting isles back. Ie the penguins lost 6 straight and thats with crosby. So time to clean house its so obviuos
With pens and flyers winning isles are now at the bottom of east. Hopes for that lottery pick in a super forward top 10 looking good. Good job louzer. And 13 isn't elite and is a disher dancer who doesn't shoot enough afraid to get hit in close. Elite by isles sorry forward standards, not elite enough to lift isles as isles need goal scorer for 13 line and better secondary scoring for 13 to thrive. 13 returned to a ppg pace last season with isles having 3 30 goals scorers. That wont happen this season. 13 also can't ignite the pp which goes thru him. Isles are a weak 5v5 team with a weak pp. How can an nhl offense be so bad? 31st gf 30th ranked pp and can't pk says it all. Compare that to jets who are 2 gf, 1 pp, and 4 pk and a top team with lots of fast skilled forwards. Meanwhile isles get shut out 1 out of every 3 games, have no d men to ignite attack with 8 having to do it all, and play 8 of next 10 on the road and could be buried by thankgiving. I sometimes wonder what kind of package louzer could get for 13 from a team better suited for his speed game. 13 just going to waste on isles.
Thank you for stating the truth. The only way barzel will be effective is if the get a big scoring power forward to add some protection. This entire team plays scared! And we all know there is no money in this franchise. Pathetic
@@raymondhenry5379 for sure. 30 to oil maybe la. 13 perhaps to kraken and back to nw. near where he is from and played jrs. tank baby tank. don't need to see flyers and pens beat isles to those elite guys. hawks have a lot of picks next 2 drafts.
i know team is struggling but there IS puck luck as well...guys will break out and get their points . dobson, barzy, nelson, horvat....guys are gonna score again. not worried. its just what's the upside for this team.. basicaly we wondering if its possible to squeak into playoffs and exit first round again. new look next year please
Disagree there. This team as we have said for 3 yrs now needs to purge aging players. To say they will come out of it i dont see it. This team is going to play every game 3-2 2-1
They will not be THIS bad, but again, the best we can expect as you said, is to squeak into the playoffs and lose in the first round. It's time to retool or rebuild and they have to figure this out ASAP because Lou won't do it. Thanks for the comment, foleydvm. LGI.
They won't score a lot of goals, but they won't be shutout 4 times every 10 games either. Still, last year, they were 22nd in goals scored. This year, they'll need to play better to even get there. Thanks for the comment, jimmyguy4569. LGI
They haven't won a playoff round in 3 years and they've still stayed the course. It's way past time to make real changes to this roster. Thanks for the comment, Charlie. LGI
Gm from Southampton...catching your show as I disembark the Queen Mary 2. Barzy is playing harder but has shown he and others are not capable of carrying the team. Lous's apparent lifetime appointment has doomed the team. Clearing the bad contracts is the best we can hope for
They need to clear those contracts and Lou won't. So it's on ownership to act if Lou won't. Amazing that you're on the QM2. Enjoy Eric and LGI.

Not just 4th line the 3rd line has been aweful too with generating any scoring
The entire time is struggling except the Nelson, Tsyplakov, Palmieri line. Thanks for the comment, James. LGI

Losing Barzy sucks! Down Barzy & Duclair is so much of the offense we do not have. Getting ready to watch the match against the Sabres. LGI
Not good to lose 2/3 of your first line on an already offensively challenged team. Thanks for the comment, Darrell. LGI

@LockedOnIslanders You're welcome, Gil. Hear from you on Monday.
I hear Toronto is looking for a 2nd line center.......Nelson maybe while his stock is high?
Colorado is looking for forwards.......... just sayin.
You're saying, I'm saying, but Lou isn't saying. Just saying. Thanks for the comment, Gandaulf1961. LGI
Martin there was zero reason to give him a new contract if he had a use it was when Tuchuck was slapping Varley around and taking a crap in our crease. Dudes a family man he isn’t looking to bring it anymore.
So who will bring it now? Tough situation for this team. Thanks for the comment, Charlie. LGI
