I love seeing great NHL players like Roy and Brind’Amour as coaches!! I just think it’s great for the league

[@ryant1090]

Best tradition in all of sports.

[@scottsears5545]

Agreed....these are professionals not entitled fuks LeBron and other big guy Davis Lakers after post game put mic down and walk away.

[@shaman9]

Canes heading to NY after this game regardless of outcome 🤣

[@snakeeyes9246]

But now they're heading to the city instead of Long Island.

[@kevinwong1988]

Tough luck Islanders. Learn from this and come back stronger.

[@KPowers-ri5rp]

They need to not rebuild but retool, time to move on from all the players on the wrong side of 30 minus Nelson and palmeri, gotta get younger and faster and hopefully a Roy training camp can have these guys playing better, unfortunately this year they consistently found new ways to lose and collapse in games that we’re winnable.

[@bartholomewesperanza3442]

No tough luck about it. The better team won

[@scottsears5545]

Patrick Roy doesn't do anything different then other coaches. Lavalette nyr has been fired like 6 times...none of these orchestra makes that much difference . Nyr have players ..before ugly lavalette got there

[@Bopittastic]

Good game, Islanders, you tried your hardest!

[@KPowers-ri5rp]

As an islanders fan I didn’t expect much more, team is old and slow, need to get younger and faster this offseason, good luck to you guys, beating the rangers will soften the blow

[@Bopittastic]

[@KPowers-ri5rp]

@@Bopittastic oh well beating the leafs is always good too, tonight wasn’t the night but it will happen

[@Zhdyzhdak_Zhdydak]

👏

[@SharksSJ408]

Oh right, this series was happening.

[@KylePakenham3620]

Yea, I forgot too, also forgot about the Detroit and Anaheim series

[@mkultra5752]

Lol

[@fraerHz]

на кого вышли?

[@somekindoftactics]

Rangers

[@scottsears5545]

Carolina is the betting favorite in series vs rangers and nyr have home ice and better record. Vegas likely thinks nyr depend on power play to much. 5 on 5 Carolina better ..canes 150 series vs rangers

[@nortonashburn6119]

Guess they did need Tavares!

[@leeturiano4419]

No one needs him. How's he stepping up for Toronto? He's invisible, it's all been their bottom six.

[@JustaComment93]

Struggled against the islanders.
Rangers in 5/6

[@i_luv_pizza_11]

They won in 5 games while you guys played the worst wild card team in the last 20 years. Good luck !

[@johnbraun814]

When Canucks unloaded Horvat they skyrocketed. Horvat brings a bland and losing brand of hockey to Islanders. sorry.

[@NaenaeB0Y]

Why does the NHL make such a big deal about this? Most sports around the world do it after every game. So cringe that they think it's so amazing gesture.

[@bartholomewesperanza3442]

Literally it’s the only professional sport where this happens in an official way

[@paulgarcia9181]

If you compare it to the other big 3: NFL, MLB, and NBA the NHL does it in the most formal way possible. I've seen football players go straight to the locker room, NBA players completely skip shaking any hands to go straight to the locker room, and to be fair I don't think I've watched a MLB playoff or World Series to know their traditions.

[@snakeeyes9246]

​@@paulgarcia9181the MLB only does this with each other. The losing team never leaves the dugout.

[@mcdob69]

What’s “cringe” is your comment….. name “most” of the sports that does this after every game?? Tennis, after a match 🤣

[@paulgarcia9181]

@@snakeeyes9246 ah ok thanks ! So even they don't formally shake hands with each other then.
