Ben Shelley: Isles’ win streak ends against Flyers, Tyce Thompson acquired from Devils

If you guys didn't have Sorokin the Flyers would have clowned you in these two games and the Flyers are supposed to suck this year. Not looking good on the Island.

Is that comment from JT about Dubas serious?

The flyers do suck.

Well didn't see any of the last three games, but 5 out of 6 points is mildly encouraging

Matt Martin (upper body, IR) joins #Isles for practice. He’s retro to Nov. 15 so he can return when he’s ready.

Seeing Gauthier not being able to finish makes me want to see MM back.

Well at least the guy can skate which is more I can say for the 3/4’s of this team.

It’s been a long time since I’ve cared less about an Islanders team.

We've seen worse Islander teams. This team is not bad, but they are also not good enough to win a Cup.

I just know where they are going to wind up. Takes the fun out of it.

That it does. It would be nice if at least Holmstrom and Wally become solid NHL players.

Yeah sure but they are just so (frank)ing boring to watch.

People said they were boring when they played a defensive shut down game. I disagree I thought they were exciting to watch. The forecheck alone made them an exciting team. This team doesn’t do anything especially well. They can’t play defense. Their offense sucks. PK is abysmal and PP is mediocre(I know it’s been better) at best. I mean what exactly is entertaining?

One or two decent periods of hockey followed by a definitive third period implosion. Is anyone seeing anything different? Please enlighten me.

Listened to Mike Reilly interview. Seems like a humble guy that is excited for the opportunity. Has a history with some of the current team.

Hopefully he can help the club on the back end. Only time will tell.

Patrick Kane being reported to the Wings. Shame, was really hoping he would go back to the Rangers.
