Pageau with a good opportunity to shoot, but opts to make a lousy pass instead.
- JohnScammo

That was an awful pass too. If he had fired a shot on that breakaway like that he may have scored

How many opportunities can Pageau (frank) up tonight?

Oettinger has certainly earned this point

Oettinger is a hell of a goalie. Watched a lot of their playoff games last season, he’s been great tonight.

This team still reverts to looking for the perfect shot.

WTF is Barzal doing out there????? He made no effort to get off the ice despite having multiple opportunities to do so, but also was too tired to pursue puck carriers.

That was strange. I cannot believe Lambert has given him that much latitude.

God I hate shootouts

So minor league.

Three absolutely poopty shootout attempts. Both Brock and Beau trying to force the puck through Oettinger...

All three of those attempts were crap. Why would you lead off with Barzal after he was on the ice the last 2 minutes of OT?

The forward talent on this team is unreal.

Was thinking the same thing. He had to be gassed.

Barzal had to be on the ice that long because he knew there was no hope in the SO.

You take those kind of shots on breakaways against a guy like Oettinger, there’s no way you’re scoring.

Should have won that

Beauvillier 0-2 in shootouts (1 for 7 last year)
Nelson 0 for 2 (0 for 4 last year)
The Islanders were 4 for 33 last year and now 1 for 9 this year

Should have won that

They completely dominated that count. Several odd man rushes and sustained pressure. The lack of finishing ability at the forward position for this team is brutal.

Shame how this team is wasting the great goaltending of Sorokin.

I believe it is keaner. Something along the lines of there is a plan in place and Lou has to execute it. When you have someone with a track record, you let them do their job.


I'm all for letting someone do their job, but what has been the plan the last two years based on the offseason moves?

Just the last 2 of seasons? Lou hasn’t done a right thing since he got here. Remember the first summer of shat signings
