I still don’t understand why Weight’s name was brought up.

I also don’t understand how this guy is still the coach. Lou has fired people for much less than this in the past. It’s literally the definition of insanity keeping him around.

I bought up Weight's name because when he was coach the Islander's D sucked ass. Very much like the defense now under Lame Lambert, optional. Crappy as stupid and sh1tty as he was he did try to play a defense first type of game.

Well, there’s clearly no structure in their own end and both of us have already said (pretty much everyone) the sooner Lambert’s gone, the better. Again, I just don’t understand how Lou or management haven’t seen that yet.

I think they went on a streak where they had points in 10 or so games in a row and that may have saved him. That said I agree with you, Lou needs to address the elephant in the room at this point. These loses are an embarrassment and doesn't do much for the teams confidence.
Go get Dean Evason. He will bring the D structure they need back imho.

Happy with the draw at Old Trafford?

Didn't like the call but Fleury got upset and whined, so he got the call.
Not sure how that shot got by Sorkin...may have been a screen

Call was soft as hell. As you said Fleury called it. Romanov deflect it?

100%
Or before the whistle even if it wasn’t.
Keep whacking until you hear the whistle the coach use to say.

Mayfield too slow to the crease and we pay. This is pathetic

These refs aren't helping

So a teams response after a bad loss can tell you a lot. This one speaks volumes.
Fire this clown already!

I'm just about at the point where, if it will result in a change, I'm going to hope they don't score another freaking goal on this trip.

I just turned the game on after watching the Bills defeat the Steelers. Looks like we picked up where we left off in the last 5 minutes in Saturday's game. Getting outshot 33 - 13 after 2 periods.

It looks like the isles are getting pumped again. Maybe it was a good thing that i cannot watch tonights game afterrall.

Organization needs to hold coach accountable. Stop with injury excuses. The isles better get a backup before Sorokin is hurt or burned out. 40 shots every other night is not healthy.

This is worse because after a sh1t loss like that you want to see them come out with a snarl and honestly the first period the team was going through the motions. The second was the worst period of hockey I have seen them play in a long long time. Inexcusable!

No effort by the PP guys to get back on that shorty. They've quit on this coach.
