It Wasn’t a Pretty Win for the New York Islanders But It Counts Just the Same
The New York Islanders played 30 minutes of good hockey and 30 messy minutes but it was good enough to edge the Chicago Blackhawks 5-4. We discuss the highlights and problems with this performance and why if they play like this all the time, they won’t even come close to making a run at a playoff spot.
Plus, more good news on the injury front concerning Mathew Barzal, Anthony Duclair and Adam Pelech.
And we preview Sunday’s game against the Blackhawks and the goalie dilemma the Isles face in that game between Ilya Sorokin and Marcus Hogberg.
All this and more on today’s Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.

NO FKN LEAD is safe with isles. Almost blow a 5-1 lead. Nothing comes easy for isles. Isles get 5 on ahl type goaltending even tho bedard showed the kind of skill isles only wish they had. With 10 hot louzer should move 10 in a deal for scoring help NOW.
PROBLEMS-same old shit can't protect leads no matter if its 2-3-4 goals. HIGHLIGHTS-check out bedard just toe drag and toy with isles as 6 and 28 just lost on first hawks goal.
Just built on it!
Flashback to the Doug Weight era of the franchise. There are players on this team who look for opportunities to just half-ass the effort whenever they can, if we actually had a GM they would be identified and shipped out because over the long term they end up being cancerous. Patrick Roy said after the game that if he would have seen a team quit on him for the last 8 minutes during his playing days he would have used his goalie stick to tear up the clubhouse when he came off the ice. It's an absolute shame that Lamoriello and Malkin don't possess his passion.
Sell at the deadline. We meed scoring!
