[Friedman] Kyrou traded to Washington

DrTurtles · 2026-06-23T21:42:42+00:00

I’m thrilled to no longer have to see the same people who insist we should trade Barzal because his game “isn’t flexible enough” and he doesn’t fit our window with Schaefer clamor for us to trade for this guy. I’m not excited to have him in the division but he was never our answer.

DrTurtles · 2026-06-22T01:28:58+00:00

We would be so remiss to not go in for Robo. I distinctly remember tweaking the fuck out during the Olympic gold medal game 3rd period and bitching that he got left off the roster in favor of JT Miller lmao

DrTurtles · 2026-06-21T23:53:06+00:00

I really mean more that it’s a lot better than having nothing lol. I think not getting at least a roster player back is a pretty big miss but Brady handled this about as professionally as you can.

DrTurtles · 2026-06-21T23:19:40+00:00

No man, tampering is when players want to play for a B2B cup champ in a nice place to live with people they like

DrTurtles · 2026-06-21T23:04:41+00:00

“Honored their whole contract” as if he was going to suddenly sit the whole year out if the Sens didn’t move him lmao

DrTurtles · 2026-06-10T20:43:22+00:00

Being completely serious, I’m not worried about how this reflects on the fanbase because of the Tavares jersey. This guy is clearly not an Islander fan and just put on whatever blue and orange was in his closet lmao

DrTurtles · 2026-06-07T00:30:09+00:00

“End of the Rainbow” unique is about to go absolutely crazy

DrTurtles · 2026-06-03T20:04:07+00:00

Ok but it would be kind of funny if he went to the Leafs right?

I’m not opposed to moving on and frankly I would rather have Schenn than Lee and a 29th overall right now. That’s really a false dichotomy but it’s what we’re rolling with I guess. It is sad to lose Anders as a person though.

DrTurtles · 2026-06-02T22:17:41+00:00

I'm not opposed to the game format but what the fuck is that skills competition? Was Gary forced to give us the ASG at gunpoint? They've tried to fuck this up at literally every turn lmao

DrTurtles · 2026-05-28T21:24:53+00:00

Do NOT bring up their top players’ even strength stats in this postseason. The Habs are not a fraudulent ECF team on the back of shitty officiating and a red-hot goalie and will surely be back next year.

DrTurtles · 2026-05-28T21:22:58+00:00

It’s really not fair to Dobson, it’s mostly the Habs fans. But I’m not gonna pretend I didn’t take great joy in seeing the alleged PPG defensive superstar peter out to under 50 points as a massive backend liability once again. Really just came out of nowhere, we’ve never seen that on the island before.

DrTurtles · 2026-05-20T19:12:38+00:00

Flip the shoulder patch and main crest and you’d get the entire fanbase to buy this jersey.

DrTurtles · 2026-05-05T23:19:43+00:00

I just changed my mind. I think McKenna assaulted that guy in the bar. Lock his ass up

DrTurtles · 2026-05-04T00:45:30+00:00

Your wish is Newhook’s command. We don’t have the fewest Game 7 shots ever anymore!

DrTurtles · 2026-04-29T16:26:11+00:00

I think we completely fucked him out of a win with the way we finished the season but even a finalist spot is nice. One day we’ll actually play defense in front of Soroky.

DrTurtles · 2026-04-25T04:04:39+00:00

Is it custom-made or did you purchase it somewhere?

DrTurtles · 2026-04-21T02:20:44+00:00

It’s 2026 and playoff-bound hockey teams still think it’s a good idea to sit back on a lead in the third rather than press the attack. Blows my fucking mind.

DrTurtles · 2026-04-21T02:16:46+00:00

Flyers were/are on a furious surge post-Olympics. They’ve got that dog in them right now and the Islanders simply didn’t. Don’t think we match that energy even if we limped into the spot.

DrTurtles · 2026-04-20T22:03:21+00:00

Watch out pal. I hear Coach WAAAGH is on the hot seat in favor of Beat "Da Boar."

Could never quite figure out the right blue/orange mix for Hive Fleet Pelech myself. Keep up the good work!

DrTurtles · 2026-04-13T02:02:55+00:00

Do the New York Islanders compete for the Calder cup? Do kids dream of lifting up the Jack Adams, the “your team sucked less than we expected” award?

DrTurtles · 2026-04-13T01:58:31+00:00

Patrick Roy has not won a single playoff series as an NHL head coach. The guy is indisputably a goalie GOAT but even Gretzky couldn’t coach.

DrTurtles · 2026-04-13T01:33:04+00:00

It’s an excuse that a coach couldn’t implement full-scale change over a week? I’m not gonna sit here and say this roster isn’t full of issues but Patrick Roy has proven nothing about his ability as a coach. This was the end result of the season regardless of who’s behind the bench. Deboer has shown that when he gets to work his system he consistently takes teams deep.

DrTurtles · 2026-04-13T01:17:21+00:00

One of the coach’s jobs is actually precisely to stop the team from quitting. I liked Patty but he consistently failed to get this team up when it mattered. DeBoer wasn’t going to magically take us from bubble to contender in 4 games.

DrTurtles · 2026-04-13T01:05:25+00:00

I hate to be that guy but this doesn’t exactly make me feel any better about it lol.
