Now I remember why I took a break from watching this team…Fire Lou then blow it up
Mayfield 🚀☀️
Roy needs to make him. Healthy scratch the next few games. Show that this isn’t acceptable.
This was a certified New York Islanders moment.
Mayfield was atrocious in every way
It is pure fucking torture being a fan of this team holy shit
I love this team but I just feel so defeated after every game
This is about as bad as it gets
Actually done watching for the season what’s the fucking point
Missed calls for Rags players, calling every minor infraction against the Isles in the 3rd, whatever that net situation was, I don’t care.
No more excuses, head coaches, bag skates, or anything is going to save the team at this point. We wanted to get away from “boring hockey” but apparently that’s all this roster was capable of winning with.
Mayfield… yikes. Just yikes.
The Isles Don’t Give Up Three Straight Goals Challenge *IMPOSSIBLE*
Replace Mayfield with literally anyone. Boychuk. Potvin. Strait. Anyone
Those first two periods were nice, weren’t they?
Yay islanders. Thank you for ruining my shitty weekend.
Its simple
We banish mayfield to the echl
This team doesn’t deserve fans. Fuck this team. Fun game, but same ending.
Lol, this fix was in before the puck even fucking dropped. Did anybody actually think they’d let their darlings lose an outdoor game like that? 0 minors from the Rags after the start of the second?
That said, suicide drills are on the menu for every practice from now on. These assholes need to learn this is unacceptable.
Bro. I keep telling myself to stop caring. I did but this game reeled me in. I thought we could win. Fuck this.
This is like a toxic relationship fr
I’m not one to complain about games being rigged, but the referees absolutely handed that game to the Rangers. Two soft penalties and a phantom penalty late in a close game. No fucking chance any of those are called in a normal game
I can usually find something to defend Mayfield but not tonight.
Two stupid penalties in the last 6 that ended up as goals.
Who are you idiots who keep buying season tickets? The wallet is what votes for this team.
What a fucking screwjob. The NHL should be embarrassed but sadly they won’t. What a joke.
I’ve been so hesitant to hop on team blow-up-the-team, but fuckin hell, this sucked. Completely lost the game, took stupid penalties, let the dumbfuck rags fans walk out of metlife with a smile on their face
This sucks. Mayfield sucks
Edit: lol at the rags fans in here. Go fuck yourself and get a life you fucking assholes
How is it possible for a team to be this bad with a 3 goal lead. Or any lead in the 3rd
🔥 Lou he is responsible for this 💩
Refs can suck a dick. Mayfield can eat a fucking stadium full of dicks. This fucking guy has single handled fucked the end of our games over all season. Fuckin hockey IQ of a rock.
This team shit the bed…but the refs definitely gave them a laxative with about 8 min left in the 3rd.
someone go back in time and tell young me how big of a mistake i am making being an islander, jet, and met fan pls…
I don’t care that the rags won. I care that it took 2 bad calls not including laff diving like a bitch for them to win
What is the point of competition if non players mediate the outcomes? It’s like playing video games with cheats. It’s pointless
But yeah, get mayfield off the ice just because he’s a common denominator
I’m buying Mayfield a 1-way ticket into the sun. Bye mofo. 👋🏻
Mayfield needs to go right away. Trade him for literally anything
I 🙋🏻♂️ wish 💫 to ✌️ die 🪦
At this point fire Lou. This team isn’t going anywhere with him as GM.
This team is so poverty, it hurts my soul
Ive been a fan of this team for 15 years but this game broke me. Im out. for this year at least
Fucking trade mayfield. I seriously dont know what lou was thinking give him a 7 year deal. HE IS FUCKING HORRIBLE I’D RATHER 44 YEAR OLD ZDENO CHARA
Today’s game demonstrated that the Islanders’ problem rests entirely with the players. Roy made marked progress with our defensive breakouts and all of our players were in the right places and it still didn’t matter. Our “vets” remain determined to continue to donate games to our opponents. This game is a microcosm of why we won’t succeed this season.
EDIT: I also have on good authority that the Islanders were out getting drinks in Tribeca last night. Make of this what you will.
I try not to let sports ruin my mood but this one is hard to brush off.
The refs were bullshit in this game and the Rags can fuck off and die. But this has been this team all goddamn year. Take dumb penalties, can’t kill penalties, can’t hold third period leads, it the same nonsense over and over and nothing changes. They don’t have 1 empty net goal this season that is virtually impossible.
As a person who roots for teams that put me on the verge of madness on a regular basis, this team and this season are right up there with the most fucked up amongst them.
lol the ranger fans here boasting after the league handed them that game. The rangers are the Cowboys of the NHL without the rich history of titles. I will enjoy watching another stanley cup choke…
The traffic
Why did I decide to do this
Legend has it…the refs arms are still raised 🦓
League worst penalty kill, league worst at holding leads in the third period. Sucks since we can outplay a lot of teams for 40 or 50 minutes, but they’re mixed in with 10 to 20 minutes of undisciplined garbage play.
