You have to think CAR is thinking very hard about a coaching change when this series ends. Woof. They are getting absolutely worked.

#isles

This is super classy. Exactly how you want a long-tenured coach to say farewell.

#isles

The 2024 draft is very weak. I doubt we see much meaningful NHL talent come out of the first round. If the Islanders can pull off another Romanov trade, gaining a young everyday NHL player and a prospect for the 1st, they need to consider it.

Solid tilly here with both absolutely chuckin' 'em. If Pasta hadn't whiffed on all of those shots early it mighta looked diferently at the end. He wasn't there to dance. He was there to -dance-.

Hang it in the Louvre.

This is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. As long as I don't think too hard about where Trouba was trying to put that elbow.

I appreciate the fact I haven’t had to care about this in over a decade.

No disrespect, but being a playoff team is a lot more fun than trying to convince myself Nino Niederreiter, Ryan Strome and Griffin Reinhart we’re changing the trajectory of this franchise.

Your thoughts?

It's almost impossible for me not to root for Dallas. That team deserves a Cup and I want Pavelski to get one so badly.

#isles

I'd treat him the way we treated him his first day back - every day for the rest of his life. I'd boo him constantly. Fuck even the idea of this happening.

I'm going to understand, forever, why Leafs fans are the way that they are. But Steve “Dangle” Glynn is the only one that I've seen that got the Marner quote correctly.

Marner is saying they're treated like Gods. The fans treat them incredibly well. He's acknowledging the privilege…

#isles

Marner is going to get somewhere around 12x5 or 11x8 from TOR. That's my expectation here. He won't take a discount, they have zero leverage, and he's still a 90 foot player and one of their best PK players.

Fans will cry all they want but it is what it is.

There is a better chance of a Marner extension than a Marner trade IMO

#isles

Something to track is that in the playoffs, with the main offensive contributors (such as linemate Oliver Bonk) facing more attention than ever - George has elevated his game.

Isaiah George has 4G 5A in 14 games, above average production for him offensively, while still…

#isles

And George has been a menace all series. I'm telling you - do not sleep on this kid.

I beg of Islander fans not to do this all summer, its not happening it has a 0% chance of happening all you'll be doing to yourself is making yourself miserable about something that cannot possibly take place.

#isles

Anyone that thinks Mitch Marner is going to facilitate a trade out of TOR is not paying attention. Marner wants to retire a Leaf. It's his hometown. His favorite team. And he has all the leverage.

TOR, if he does not accept a trade, has to either allow him to walk…

Lamoriello was asked if he thought the #Isles core was strong enough to take this team to the next level:

'I don't know if I can answer that question. First of all, change is inevitable. It's obvious. We do look at the roster.'

#isles

I forgot that Lou's first draft was in 2019. And I can't easily undo this. So, you know. I'm human and dumb sometimes.

#isles

I forgot the summary at the end of breaking down the drafts.

First of all, I don't believe that you can turn a turd into a diamond. The Islanders have not drafted high-yield talent throughout most of their drafts. This extends beyond Lou. But, during the Lou years,…
