Little bounce back lambussy
Nice win that
Nice job, team!
Absolute massive and statement win after Wednesday, very glad I picked tonight’s game to go to instead of the Pens game
THAT’S HOW YOU RESPOND BOYS
Idk about y’all, but I consider that a Sorokin shutout.
Okay.
The Park can stay.
This team is strange
Great game but get Bortuzzo off the team, he lets everybody go by him
Great win after the disastrous Penguins game.
(Just hate how we lost the shut out at the last second)
I love this team
No one wins against the islanders 7-0 TWICE IN A ROW
They call the blatant trip, Ilya has the shutout. Typical refs. Good game Isles.
[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)
A penalty in the first period is a penalty in the third. THIS is what happens when the referees selectively do their job. Had they called that obvious trip, Sorokin would have his shutout.
Fucking clowns.
JG!
what a nice game, especially in response to last game. Plenty of offense without the heart attack this time
Now that’s better
Now take it out on Pittsburgh, please.
IT IS ABSOLUTELY WHAT THE FUCK I WANT
That was more fun that Wednesday
CAPS FANS ARE IM THE WAITING ROOM THEY DON’T WANT THE NEEEEWWWWWSSSSS
They needed that 7-0 loss but holy fuvk 15 seconds seriously could get sorokin a shutout lol
OK, losing the shutout sucks, but that was a lot of fun!

This team’s either missing the playoffs by 10 points or winning the Cup. There’s no in between.
THAT was worth traveling 700 miles for.
Isles aren’t players they just fuck a lot
That was such a fun game to be at !
