NFT: New York Islanders @ New York Rangers Game Thread

both those teams have deep playoff run potential. the way the NHL has the playoffs set up I wouldn't be shocked to see Rangers Islanders round 1 of the playoffs (assuming the Penguins win the division which isn't a fair assumption right now). Right now though it's Rangers Lightning and Islanders Bruins. Lot of hockey left though of course.

Yeah, there is a reasonable chance that both the Isles and Rangers pass the Penguins, and the Caps won't go away. It should be interesting.

If you have a broken nose don't mix it up if you don't want to be punched. It's like Crysby crying about Chara punching him when he had his broken jaw right after Crysby hit a guy from behind.

He wasn't mixing it up. He got suckered.

Boyle and Martin were holding each other with no intention of fighting. Clutterbuck came in for a cheapie.

On those ROW numbers

Not the result I was expecting, but.. the Rangers just didn't get it done. I just hope Stepan is alright. Obviously whatever happened to him in the 1st was too much for him to deal with for the remainder of the game.

Faceoffs are still a huge, huge problem. To the point where we may be forced to try to look into acquiring another 3C and swing Hayes over to a wing. Playoff games will go much like this one did if we continue to give up possession on draws.

Ain't going to get any easier with BOS, CBJ and PIT up next so we've got to nut up and get back on track.

Shitty game for us but shit happens.

Boyle punch clutterbuck when Martin was holding him.

Tonight

There is some crazy stat out there that the Game following a Ranger game the Islanders have lost a ridiculous % of them. They need to play against the Pens just like they played tonight. Great effort
all the way through. Took both games at the Garden this year.

Go fuck yourself you fucking fuck. How you like that burn.

Are you 1% yet? Did you get your promotion? If so, congrats! If not, you can eat down the street at something more your speed, like a Virgils.

I will be there Friday night. The Barn should be loud. A 5-2 road trip, very nice.

Took your advice and spent the last 2 1/2 hours fucking myself ;-)

Wow, psyched at my boys. I honestly did not expect this result (as far as a shutout). I stayed away from all the madness today; combo of actually having a big deal in play at the office, but frankly I was as nervous for this game as I'd be for a Giants playoff game. Haven't felt this energy in a while.

Listen...both teams played well. Both teams are hot. Both teams are just...good. Will be a fun run to and into the playoffs.

Have a good night boys. I am sure there will be some more fingernails to bite in our next tilt.

I'm in the top 7.5% right now.

I am going to Morton's tomorrow night (I'm not paying, though).

Feels like the Rangers lost a regular season game in January and have to get back on track. Can't win 'em all.. it just started to feel that way for a while. Suck it, fuckbag. We've got 3 more left against you in that dump you play in.

Sure. YTD Regulation Wins:

NYR 19 (in 40 games)
NYI 18 (in 42 games)

Hybrid hockey irrelevant to the postseason (4-on-4, SOW, OTL): NYI 12, NYR 9

Solid. Enjoy. Morton's is definitely a top 7.5% kind of place. Ditto Ruth's Chris.

Yes, that is what happened right after the cheap shot

This may be the next casualty. Then we might all disappear too. Hold onto yr butts!

Then. I saw clutterbuck getting jacked. But he is not innocent.

Shhhh. The Vine tells the whole story.

Going down. I love you all but you Hudson.

Would love to see Boyle get a few teeth knocked out next time

Congrats, Islanders fans. You owned us tonight. See you again in a few weeks.








God, that was so hard.

And best stat all night?

Islanders have 2 wins at MSG this season....Knicks? 3

Didn't play our best against SJ and got away with one. Usually that's a sign that a bad loss is coming to end a streak.. Sucks it came against the Styx. Faceoffs are a huge problem though, Hayes has shown problem but is a real liability there. Just don't let the poor play carry over, move on to Boston.

More like sad. And Fish and other Islanders fans are Knicks fans. It's cool. We're gonna get Okafor, bitchez.

.

The Isles win a "big game" and their five dumbass fans shut down BBI.
I guess they couldn't riot in Uniondale without a proper minyan so this how they choose to respond.
Idiots.

but it's OK for you.. you had a loss AND a win in the same night. see? not all is bad when you pick a bunch of teams to root for! you're bound to pick a winner!

even a loser can find a winner, huh?

You could've been an Islander. You chose otherwise. Fuck off.

nobody wants to be an Islander, unless forced to...like Boyle, Vanek, Nabakov, Visnovesky, and that will not change when you move from the dump to the worst NHL rink next season.

Old man Boyle, or Boychuk and Leddy? Glad Garth swung and miss on that one.

just like Vanek or Ryan Smyth?
You know Halak is the reason for your good half season and once he gets hurt, gets tired, which he always does, you're back to Uniondale?

I like you. You make me laugh. Consistently.

Between your bipolar disorder, heavily overcompensated inferiority complex and classic narcissism, it's like seeing Sibyl brought to life.

I'm not any of those, please YOUR Islander fanbase issues onto me.

Wow, one of the signs. Accept it...it's easier.

that it's not 1983?

But you weren't alive in 1983, so how would you know?

Funny, my nine year old kids make more sense than you do.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Yep because Kulemin and Grabovski and Halak all signed long term deals it was because they were forced. The only thing forced around here is you on us. I am sure everyone on this board would up our donations to get rid of you. Hoping my team makes you feel like shit twice in 1 week tonight.

Visnovsky and Nabakov RE-SIGNED with the team... Fact check before making assanine statements.

Give it a rest, man.
