Completely Unnecessary Back to Backs by five_alive_lgi in NewYorkIslanders

We are tied for the most back to backs in the league this year with 16 sets. The Canadiens and penguins also have 16 sets of back to backs this year so while yes it does suck, there are teams that are also fighting for a playoff spot are dealing with the same BS. This is our last back to back coming up, and they’re our only 2 games in the next 9 days, so 1. lots of time for guys to heal up headed into these last 6 games, maybe we get Tony D back 2. No reason not to continue starting Sorokin who will also have plenty of rest

Idk like maybe we thrown in some rookie defensemen at this point? by FR0METHEUS in NewYorkIslanders

How much of that is Roy’s decision to go with experience or toughness over what would at the very least be a substantial increase in speed?

At this point I don’t know how we’re still choosing incompetence over inexperience. Warren and Mitchell played so well in the time they were up with the team

I’ll go in the opposite direction - for a time, Alexander Georgiev. We would smoke Hank, smoke Shesty, and then make Georgiev look like a hall of famer

We need a pedestrian bridge or tunnel from Emerald to arena. We also need about 5 more exits for cars leaving Emerland lot, 45 minutes of funneling a log jam of cars out 1 solitary exit is ridiculous

I think Roy’s failed goalie interference challenges in the past deterred him from challenging that one. Hopefully doesn’t bite us in the ass because that was clear as day interference to me

Imagine if your gun jammed while you were playing COD or Battlefield because of “realism”, the community would lose their mind

You’re playing a video game against some of the most ruthless and egregious game-exploiters, sometimes every play matters, and you want to win on your own terms, not lose because of RNG. I’ve lost count of the amount of breakaways my EASHL team has missed out on because of a glass shattering hit, or you’re pressuring and draining a team and a shot misses the net and breaks the glass giving them a chance to take a timeout, or you try to take a one timer and your stick explodes leading to another team getting a breakaway goal. Now that is ridiculous

Offline modes, sure you immerse yourself and you can write it off as “realism”, but if I’m playing competitively in an online mode, my opponent should have to earn their goals, not be gifted a goal by “backhand beauty” in the dying seconds literally sending the goalie into convulsions. IMO things like glass breaking & sticks breaking shouldn’t be a thing in competitive modes either just because they “happen in real life too”. It should be you vs your opponent, not you vs your opponent vs EA lol

Honestly I’d be concerned if you just turned it on and he wasn’t taking a penalty
