The New York Islanders earned their first win of the 2023-24 NHL preseason with a 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers. Ilya Sorokin was perfect in his half of the game while Julien Gauthier and Simon Holmstrom scored for the Isles.
We discuss the players that looked good, analyze the power play and discuss some things the Isles need to correct from this game keeping in mind that it’s far too early to overreact.
Plus we look at Hudson Fasching and what he needs to do to have a successful season for the Isles this year and what his expected role will be.
All this and more on today’s Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.

Barzy turning it over on the pp?!😂 We're already starting to see how not acquiring that elite player this summer will turn out to be such a huge boneheaded move! I have to say it…I told everyone and anyone listening this would happen! Who handles the puck at speed that can deke around opposing players other than 13? Nobody! So a complete revamp pp play book in the works? Nope! If there were, we'd see it. Can we stop the having to rely on 5 or 6 if's to be decent?! We're not even talking about high probability IF's! These IF's are the if's I use when talking about winning the freaking powerball!! Can we get some freaking certainties for a change?! This is BS and thinking we can easily make the playoffs with This New York IFRS team, lets give an update to those that just came out from under a rock!… better yet it can be easily searched… that's IF….
typical isle type win. 19 shots. hold the opponent under three isles win. isles have to score more than three to win they lose. the recipe-with no elite forwards getting goals from fringe nhl'ers too.
ISLANDERS ARE A DUMPSTER FIRE
Im a bit jealous G Mart! I've lost any kind of level headedness and ability to feel optimism over my 43 years… well 37ish years of being an Islanders fan! There hasn't been enough done to make me feel like we're making real progress! Progress to me isn't fighting for the last playoff spot!
Yeah it's preseason, that being said, has there been any improvement among the starters? It's disheartening. There prime has been seen, guys are what we've seen, expecting better from them isn't a big deal, believing they can be better, to me at least is a problem.
