FUCK HULU GAMES
GIVE ME BUTCH AND BRENDAN OR GIVE ME DEATH
LEE CLEANS UP THE REBOUND ON THE PP TO TIE THE GAME EARLY IN THE 2ND PERIOD
INJECT THAT PASSING TO SET UP THE HORVAT GOAL DIRECTLY INTO MY FUCKING VEINSSSSS
HOLMSTROM IS A PK WIZARD
REFS ARE DOING EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER TO DRAG THE OILERS BACK INTO THIS GAME
THERE ARE NO WEIGHT ROOMS IN EDMONTON
ONTO THE NEXT ONE 😤
Simon says:
GIVE ME THAT LAMBUSSY
YES!
Great to see the guys look like they actually wanted it playing 5 on 6
#FUCK YOU REFS & GOD BLESS HOLMSTROM
THE NEW YORK ISLANDERS HELD CONNOR MCDAVID POINTLESS
also
A CONVINCING WIN!!!! WOO!!!!!! LFGI
2/4 on the PP and 4/4 on the PK (with a SHG) will play.
That first goal had me scared but Sorokin settled in real quick.
I feel like this was maybe the most complete game they have played in a while. Very well done.
Simon Holmstrom
#SOROKIN HATERS IN SHAMBLES
FUCK ESPN
What a third act from Sorok!!!!!!
A horrendous 3rd period but a win is a win!
[OFTEN IMITATED, NEVER DUPLICATED. NEW YORK ISLANDERS, BABY! WE’RE BACK WITH A VENGEANCE AND WE’RE COMING FOR EVERYBODY!! AND WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN THE NEW YORK ISLANDERS RUN WILD ON YOU, BABY?!?!](https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1369480078153891848/pu/vid/1280×720/tUqyDKwI8Fy5rSzD.mp4?tag=12)
The amount of overwhelmingly tangible weight that is just flooding off my body is so much
what a strange third period lol
Let’s be realistic. If Parise joins this team he should slot into LW4. This is not a knock on him whatsoever. He has shown he can produce with limited minutes, he will be leaned on during the PK and I believe he could work well with Cizikas.
Lastly and most importantly. Do not separate Holmstrom and Pageau.
WE DID IT BOYS, WE CLAMPED ONE DOWN
Ilya really needed a game like that. Big win
Did we…hold a 3rd period lead again?
The guys on the espn call were absolutely sucking off the isles i’ve NEVER heard a broadcast that wasn’t my own teams broadcast do that before. That feels pretty good
Good National TV win
What a satisfying win. This is the team we had the potential to be all along but weren’t because we kept getting in our own way. Hopefully they keep this up
Remember when we all said “if they were just a little better on the PP, they would be amazing?” Well they’re much better on the PP and they’re winning.
Turns out Holmstrom was the Wahlstrom we wanted all along.
Team defense was fly on shit, we had a good forecheck when we tried, dobson and romanov is a legit 1st pairing defense and it’s ducking great, sorokin playing great after a shit goal let up. Tons of blocked shots. I have never been happier to see a 3-1 win we needed that. That said tho they cannot sit back like they did. Even tho we played different defense then in the past
Ferraro finally gets that the Isles are different this year.

That was a Barry Trotz clinic, and Sorokin really locked in after that early stinker. Hope this gives him a much-needed confidence boost.
Is the PK so back?
