The New York Islanders were beaten at their won game as the Carolina Hurricanes out hit the Isles and controlled the tempo in the final 40 minutes of the game to beat the home team 5-2. The Isles now trail the series 3-1 and must win in Carolina Tuesday to keep their season alive.
We discuss the questionable calls on Zach Parise and Mathew Barzal and the foolish penalty by Matt Martin plus why the Islanders didn’t deserve to win even if the calls went their way.
We also discuss the problems the team has on both the power play and penalty kill and what needs to change in Game 5 on Tuesday.
All this and more on today’s Locked On Islanders podcast with Gil Martin.

Isles played perfect game 3 for their style. Feel them…out hit, play smart hang around ambush them late. This game only one national broadcast. Players too amped Martin emphasized they are head hunters in interview…dumb penalties. Canes adjusted PP caught Isles. Barzy out of shape. Romanov mistakes. Isles Aho hits post. Could have been huge. Got very little out of Palmieri and nothing from Parise or Nelson..Engvall took a step back. Dobson off balance all game. Series not over. Home crowd will force Canes to be aggressive and they lost another player today so want to finish it. Isles can lay back and counter, still must hit but keep sticks down. Keep second man high if Canes come out hard on Dobson on PP again as Butchie suggested so easy pass. Goalie was so so…Maybe change goalie to Varly for spark? Raanta still suspect. Desperation good for Isles style. Also felt Lambert wasn’t good with his line rotations. Was just off. Maybe mix lines some. Maybe will have to break up Barzy and Horvath? Like Horvath and Palmieri and Barzy and Nelson?
Can critique this game all nite, Carolina was the better team today period…..The Islanders were smothered after the first 5 min of the game, Carolina reminded me of the mid 90s Devils…..close the middle of the ice and wait and pounce on mistakes….Boooring yet effective!….Feh!
Pathetic. Isles had some major momentum going and fkd it away in gm . 4. Car. just shuts down isles attack like nothing. Isles can't muster anything 5 v 5 and take dumb over aggressive penalties. The pp can't be used as a weapon and is useless. Isles have just as many sh goals-1 as pp goals-1 in series. And car. has 5 pp goals with both teams adding a shortie so car. has won the special teams battle as well. Bottom line is isles probably go bye bye on tuesday. Last team to get in. First team to go out. And the playoff magic of '20-'21 long gone now. Isles just a borderline playoff team that gets bounced in first round just like the 'experts' had them all season. Thank lou you schmuck. All your engval craziness and non-moves did nothing to move the needle. And bo looks lost as canucks laugh at the sell-high job they did on bo. And sorokin the so-called isle advantage hasn't stolen a game or two this series.
Its abracadabra, presto change-o Isles at it again. Never know who will show up!
Came out like a freight train, Parise called for a crap penalty then Pulock joins him in the box. 5 on 3 knocked the wind outta them and the crowd.
Game over….
Hi Gil, To me it seemed like Matt Martin personalized this series at the end of game 3 which became detrimental to the Islanders on Sunday. His penalty to start the second was killer. Is it time to sit him in favor of Bailey? Not a popular stance, but Bailey has never been a player that takes dumb penalties…and we definitely need more self-discipline if we have any hope in hell in this series. Great job as always.
We can’t blame officials. This loss is on us. After Canes weathered our first 5 minutes, they took control of game and Isles wilted like flowers in the desert. This team has consistently shown no killer instinct ever since Trotz left. Carolina will easily dispatch of us Tuesday. Let’s face facts, the only reason we are in the playoffs is because Pittsburgh lost to Hawks
Honest and insightful, well done Gil….Let's go Islanders!!!
put afork in em……..they be dun ( GO OILERS!!) – See you next year Gil , Great Job as always
Fire everyone
Enjoy this next playoff game. It could be the last one for awhile for isles. Thank lou for the ugly times coming. The trotz magic is over. Trotz was worth every $$$ isles paid him. This roster is toast after elimination.
Those 2 penalty reflect the league doesn't want the islanders advancing. Barzall call a TOTAL joke .Parise call too. First pushed into crease then goalie too WTF ? COST US THE GAME EARLY
How come Lee doesn't get criticized more ..Bo has been here not even 3 months .Lee makes almost as much as him a d all he does is NOT play defense and turn over the puck automatically when ever he holds the puck ….
Nothing to say, except thanks Gil! LGI
who said aho is 35? 😂
Imposters
"2 of them were horse bleep calls, they were just bad"
The canes are already missing Patioretty, Teravainen, Kase, and Svechnikov. I think we don’t need to purposely injure more of their players. We’re lucky enough to have the players above missing.
Its hard to win when its 7 on 5…Canes arent winning the cup either…isles need a retool
Lou and horvat suck.
Goodmorning Gill! I like to comment bezfore watch your video….I don't expect this team to make playoff or anything in the playoffs after they squeeze in…. yesterday they look tereble ewery single player including Soroking but I give him pass becouse it is hard to be motivated ewery game with guys in the front of you don't help you at all…Carolina is probable one of the worst team in the playoff and without half team the are kicking our ass on our ice… power play koach shud be fired in the midle of the game Lambert too he must go half of our players can play in any NHL team I hope somebody in this organization use they head becouse this ship sinking fast….clean house over summer protect NOBODY… thank you Gill for your hard work LGI 😞
