1. #5v5 UNDEFEATED

2. I literally went to pee and it’s over wtf

3. This comment will populate with game stats

4. Can’t even be too mad at that loss. Played a really good Devils team and the refs… still got a point. This offense looks much better. Onto the next one.

5. 1 pt for a complete train wreck is something I guess

6. Frustrating game but I’ll take a point against the devils

7. Hughes was just asking for an open ice hit there but we play around him like he has cooties for fuck knows why. Frustrating way to piss away a point.

8. Nobody stepped up on Hughes. Gave him all that space, and watched

9. Man, what the fuck.

10. Can’t win em all, hopefully it’ll be another 9 years until there’s 4 ppgs in a game again, Sorokin is a god, I like Brock Nelson and Bo Horvat, see you all tomorrow

11. if a casual fan checks the box score they see sorokin gave up 5 with an .868 save % yet the reality is any other goalie wouldve been pulled after giving up about 8 bc theyre not ilya sorokin

12. Cant allow 4 power play goals – Is our PK our PP last year?

13. Sucks but 5/6 points to start ain’t bad

14. Edging until tomorrow night. Fuck these refs. Fuck tonight.

15. What a way to piss away a fantastic performance by Sorokin.

16. The PK being that bad tonight and still getting a point is a win. Thought we played ok at times, let the devils skate over as for a bit, but played pretty well with them all things considered

17. That was shocking defending by Pulock

18. only time you can say a goalie played like a vezina player after giving up 5 goals. we failed him tonight, and that sucks. on to the next. better get more disciplined.

19. Considering how hot the Devils are, how we got screwed out of at least three potential PP chances, getting a point against this division rival is a win.

    Scorevat showing up. Thanks Lou.

    BROCKTOBER never ends.

20. Gg all around but if I’m Sorokin everyone is getting smacked by a paddle in the dressing room for how they played ahead of him tonight.

21. Ugly game but I won’t complain about a point in ugly games this early on. Get it together against Buffalo tomorrow

22. This team could have won a cup by now if they could score power play goals. Maybe it would have been a bubble cup but to go this long and still not be able to score pp goals is just inexcusable. The devils won because they score power play goals frequently. We just need to score them on some of them

23. Nah am I the only one that’s pissed lol Lane better rip into them for some of that shit. Showed some heart by continuing to fight back but that OT goal was horrible and way too many penalties and a dog shit pk. Good to see Nelson can still score though he couldn’t finish the hatty and Horvat gets 2 goals. Ilya gives this team the chance to win every night. Tonight was winnable and we shot ourselves in the foot

24. This team could have won a cup by now if they could score power play goals. Maybe it would have been a bubble cup but to go this long and still not be able to score pp goals is just inexcusable. The devils won because they score power play goals frequently. We just need to score on some of them

25. I’ll take the point. Gritty win. It’s so nice to watch a group of skilled players that shoot and score on the pp… problem is they are were on the other side. Love this team, but simon holmstrom isn’t the answer and if we didn’t have Ilya we’d lose this gsme 6-2 in regulation

26. A game that we weren’t even close to deserving to win, but also a game that we could’ve easily won.

    Do better Lane

27. Annoying way to lose hughes just skates in 1v2 and they back away.

28. Solid point idc. Its important that they battled back a couple times and got the lucky bounce to tie it

    Tmrw is huge

29. #11 where are you? We have a top line spot for you.

30. Totally fine with one point. We could compete 5v5 and got punished for dumb penalties

31. They had no business getting a point out of this. Devils are legit. A lot of positives, shit ton of negatives. Take the point like a bandit and on to Buffalo.

32. 43 shots on goal. Not great…..

33. That might be one of the oddest islanders games I’ve ever watched

    If they can go to OT tomorrow they can walk away with 2 points in 2 games which is neat but they have a shit ton of stuff to address lmao

34. Not going to get many 4+ goal performances out of this group. Need to win these

35. Stuck at work so didn’t get to watch. Glad they stole the point after allowing 4 power play goals

36. The fucking officiating was crapola today. What was that overtime. We got a point at least.

37. Refs can’t be missing 4 blatant calls in the last 5 minutes/OT. Either way Isles didn’t really deserve the win but that was disgusting late game reffing.

38. Crossed off Bo to score, Brock to shoot 3x on my 3-way parlay. Lost on NYI ML. RIP

39. Even with the OT loss I’m very confident in this team. If that is our worst performance of the season I’m not sure there are many in the East better than us

40. Saw a lot of good things tonight. We clean up the penalties and the PK and we own the game. We’ll be fine.

41. Lost in the game but I’d like to mention Dobson played really well tonight, especially having to play with bolduc getting limited minutes and mayfield out.

42. All things considered I will take the point. They didn’t have their A game at all. Passing was extremely sloppy, too many bad turnovers

43. Frustrating way for it to end but 1 point is infinitely better than 0 points. A Team could’ve gone 11-0-71 and made the playoffs in the East last season.

44. Fuck it I’ll take the point

45. A couple of penalties not taken and it’s a completely different game

    Know what we need to work on

46. Fall asleep for on second on Hughes, and that’s what you get.

    Good game overall, but goddamned if 4 PP goals don’t hurt.
