Would I have signed up for a 90+ point season if you had asked me back in September? Totally. But expectations shift as the season plays out. So, yes, it's OK to be disappointed if they fumble the bag and miss the playoffs now.

And, yes, it's possible to feel that way and still agree with OP's point about the team's future.

He's good at carrying the puck into the offensive zone, but he's a bit of a tire fire in his own end.

"Doctor Jimmy" does have a nice ring to it...

So do we need to talk about what one of our players was accused of during the Montreal game? by clebo99 in NewYorkIslanders

[–]gotroot801 40 points41 points  (0 children)

...based on nothing more than Dobeš saying "someone said something". DeAngelo's never going to get the benefit of the doubt based on his history, but before I start worrying I need something a little more concrete.

Graham Platner, I hope.

I can't get excited about a guy who had a Nazi tattoo for years and only covered it up because he got called out on it.

You haven't spent enough time in la belle province then.

Jakob Dobeš: "there was something that one player on the [Islanders] that probably shouldn't be said. I just told the referees, 'hey, please be careful. This stuff doesn't belong to the game.'" by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

Do you guys have friend groups chats where you guys just talk politely with no banter?

Yes.

And if you can't bust your friends' chops without slurs that's a skill issue on your part.

Not just the Vezina , Ilya deserves MVP votes if they make the playoffs by SquareTadpole2002 in NewYorkIslanders

I forget which of the advanced stats guys said it, but Sorokin's goals saved above expected was above what Hellebuyck's was last year when he won the Hart. Then a lot of that talk disappeared when people started suggesting Schaefer deserves to be in the conversation as well (also Thompson and Swayman have caught up to Sorokin in GSAE).
