You did totally miss it. They moved back to Nassau this season.

the Rangers are still not up to the level of the teams ahead of them, something which was masked by playing four straight against NJ.

Im glad I am no longer the only person who noticed his play on D more "responsible" and consistent. I noticed it months ago and I think Brett was the only one who agreed. Given that his pairing is a guy who skates without blades,I think that is a solid performance.

I noticed and mentioned it months ago. I would love to know why he's being scratched. Another questionable move by Quinn.

Agree. We just saw another example of why this guy should not be playing.

We need to add a D or two that can manage a breakout pass every now and again. We simply cannot get out of our zone against the more disciplined two-way teams in the league.

I dont ever want to hear Bitetto's name again.

It was good to win the tune-up tonight. Best game NYI have played since the trade deadline IMO. 3 game series for first place coming up. The reward is a first round series with Boston which im not really sure is a great prize. Hopefully Coliseum will have at least half capacity for the playoffs.

Also, WTF is OP smoking? Was he thinking about the NBA or something?
The Bailey-Pageau-Beauvillier line  
Mike from Ohio : 4/20/2021 9:45 pm : link
was really strong. The whole team did a great job clogging the neutral zone and making sure the Rangers could never enter with speed.

Not sure what happened the last three games but the team we saw tonight can beat anybody.

LGI!

I’m not trying to pick on you Anak  
Mike from Ohio : 4/20/2021 9:58 pm : link
But a couple years ago everything you posted during Islander-Ranger games was about how how many Ranger fans were at the Coli and how there were empty seats. It was weird.

Hudson was just a front-running yinz fan nobody liked.

Well, yeah, but that was all in good fun. I mean, we make fun of your attendance; you make fun of our Stanley Cup drought. We make fun of the fact that no one wants to come to the Island; you call the 1994 team the New York Oilers.

All in good fun
Islanders are just suffocating.  
BrettNYG10 : 4/20/2021 10:04 pm : link
Rangers have too many sleds.
Bitetto/Smith were terribad  
Diversify yo bonds : 4/20/2021 10:08 pm : link
It's amazing how many talented NHL teams are undone by the bottom of their roster. Just leaking chance after chance.

Zibanejad is so good. Beyond his skill he's dominant defensively.

Next 3 games VS caps are the division. I think wash is too heavy for the current islanders but we'll see. Caps' D can be victimized.
On another subject, is it okay to complain about Quinn?  
Anakim : 4/20/2021 10:08 pm : link
In a blowout loss, the four players with the least amount of ice-time (not including Trouba) were Kravtsov, Chytil, Lafreniere, and Kakko. But yeah, Quinn's doing an excellent job developing those guys. Kakko, with his 13 points on the season.

I'm just waiting for PaulN to tell me again how valuable Brett Howden is. HE LITERALLY DOES ONLY ONE THING WELL and we have forwards like Zibanejad, Strome, Buchnevich, Rooney, etc. to kill penalties. Howden is just waste of a roster spot. Gauthier should be playing over him. There is absolutely zero reason why Gauthier should be scratched. He's a big-bodied, fast, offensive threat. If you're going to play Kravtsov on the fourth line, why would you play him with a zero-skill player like Howden instead of a skilled winger like Gauthier?

And again, why is K'Andre Miller running a PP? Put Laf in on PP2! Jesus F'n Christ. Next year, Fox will run PP1 and Lundkvist will run PP2, but until next season, PUT LAF ON THE SECOND PP.



The season is over. Play Julien Gauthier. Play Zac Jones. Play the fucking kids more.

Beauvillier always seems to play well vs us, a few game winners, very late, last year.

And, yes, Trotz maybe borrowing a page from the Devils book. When Rangers have are skating with space from their own blue line through neutral zone is when they are most dangerous. They were bottled up. Someone said NYR need d-men to make the breakout pass--they've been doing it for the most part--what they need is a coach who can make effective adjustments to their play in games like these.
Bitetto  
ColHowPepper : 4/21/2021 9:07 am : link
Did he need more games to qualify as an unprotected player for the expansion draft? If so, terrible timing, if not, wtf? Hajek had been playing steadily.
