Congrats to Farabee on his first career hat trick. And yes, JvR has 3 assists!
It's a beautiful thing, but if the kid has that great of a shot, why don't we see it more often for God's sake!? We've been badly outshot almost every game. Let that sucker fly!!

Lol What is that, two games in a row we've entered the 3rd period with a two goal lead and had it erased within about 5 minutes?

Edit: Yesterday, it was the 2nd period...Lol

Either way, Sean Couturier has to be absolutely dying to get back into a game as he watches us cough up lead after lead.

Missed penalty calls for us, but the refs have not missed any on us. Unbelievable. I'm starting to dislike the Islanders like my dislike of the Pens.

Yup. These games have reminded me of last season's playoffs to this Islander team.

As horrific as it is to see another two goal lead blown and another overtime, I'll be surprised if we don't win it before the shootout.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner. II think Hayes was due, so it's nice to see him finish it. The lone penalty called in the OT was probably one of the few that were legitimate. I'm sick and tired of the refs calling all of these ticky-tack stick fouls. How can you truly hook a guy with one hand on your stick? Lol

Again, we are just a dynamite overtime team. It seemed like the Isles were basically playing not to lose in both overtimes.

They made it interesting being shorthanded for a bit.

Which is ridiculous because we're mostly cruising along 3 on 3, give us an extra man and it's like "omg wtf are we doing!?!" for about 20 seconds.

how about JvR? I have been waiting for this kid to show off his scoring touch. I hope he keeps it going.

We have to be the most angry fan base in history for a team that is on a 123 point pace

They got me one more point than I had hoped for our first 10 games.

next 4 are gonna show us if this team can continue to win ugly OR play a solid 60 each night and win “right”

Not angry really, just realistic. I'm sadden by things such as TK being sat out for lack of effort and then coming back the next game and showing very little effort. I'm a little disappointed in the fact that we chose to fill a huge defensive hole with 3 journeyman AHL/NHLer's and then try to say we're true cup contenders. If they were gonna go the route they did, they should have bundled up whatever they had and tried to obtain someone good. I mean we kept Morin and Hagg. Those 2 alone aren't any worse then Braun, Gus and Prosser and much cheaper. We've beaten teams that are rebuilding and young and growing. The Isles are def not the same team from last year, but alot of those wins have been shaky and lucky. Boston showed us what happens when you take periods off. Real teams will expose that every time. Just a lot of missing elements that could have been fixed and weren't that will be our undoing in the end.

I really thought Patrick was gone for the season when he hit the boards and didnt get up.

Same. Glad he didn't miss a shift.

I was thinking that too. There were obviously some gaffes in that one (tying goal especially, Jake), but I actually thought that was one of the better games they've played this season. They actually carried the play for stretches and established the cycle, which is the first game I can think of where they did that.

Still needed a great game from Elliot, but maybe this one will be a positive step.
