That one play where Barzal got him the puck wide open in front I was baffled at why Eberle moved to a worse angle. He should have stayed right between the dots. ended up a blocked shot. He is streaky so let's hope he heats up soon.

Eberle is a very frustrating player. I hope Wahlstrom can be an option down the line with Barzal.

3 games .. 4 points. just caught up on all the comments.. wow. You are a very unhappy group.

Isles kept everything outside which certainly helped Varly get his shut out. I don't remember any break-aways or odd man rushes. Dobson still shaky but played a lot better than last game and a few times you could see him thinking about pinching and instead got back. ... it will take time.

I wonder what Trotz will do with these lines. Bellows and Ross played less then 6 1/2 minutes. Martin only played 7 1/2 minutes. meanwhile JGP played over 20 minutes as did Brock. It's nice to have him fresh for PP and PK but not using that 3rd line at all doesn't seem like a great idea long term. I wouldn't be surprised to see Uncle Leo in next game.

Depite Dan saying our Forwards stink again in comparison to theirs... we had a ton of really great chances. some Break-aways, point blank shots, and a couple of Odd Man rushes... we just didn't seem to hit the net. the 2-on1 vs. MacAvoy was a heck of a recovery by Long Beach's finest.

Devils up next.. I'm sure according to Dan they are better... (uncle)

I guess when Barry sometimes criticizes the team after a win he is a Debbie Downer as well?

Niteislander is a good guy. I just do not know the rules when talking about the Islanders? Does it have to be all positive?

Oh yeah he’s just wonderful, super knowledgeable, and never wrong about anything. We’re lucky to have him here.

With this Islander team and players like Bailey and Eberle alone, you need to stay on this team because they get lazy. This should not be new information.

Who is Dan?

Barry also talks about all the good things the team does... all you do it complain about how much we stink. read all your own posts... are you ever happy? this is the best Islander's team I have seen in decades. ... Cheer up.

Unlike you when I am wrong I admit it... Have you ever admitted it? Didn't you spend 6 months shtting on Mayfield's contract? Just stop with your nonsense.

I'm very happy Islanders won but let's be honest they did not look good. Islanders had lots of turnovers. Boston is having trouble scoring which helped.

Most teams have had trouble scoring against us for the past 3 years.

Who is Dan?

Ben.. apologies.. I stopped reading him after the 3rd in a row in our division that is better than us in 3 of 4 categories.

When did I post they stink? I'll be very happy when the goal is meet to win the Cup. You are like Garth and Cappy celebrating everything. I'm going to keep calling things out as needed. Isles had a great run last year. This is a new year though and no guarantees.

No I didn’t. That actually never happened but go ahead and make stuff up it’s your MO. Still waiting for you to admit for the last time you were wrong last week super fan. How did Barzal get signed before the start of the season? Magic?

Man nite you win for most posts in a row that's impressive

Exaggeration and hyperbole.

It's just so strange. Yes the last 2 years have been very good. That means teams will really be ready for the Islanders and Islanders cannot get lazy off past success.
