We need Darche to cook here, realistically - no matter what our final results are... I do think the internal competition needs to be a bit greater. I don't see any prospect outside of Eklund making the full-time jump next season. #Isles

I’m told #Isles are in the mix for University of Michigan’s T.J Hughes, now a FA. Ironically, he’s from Hamilton, ON, where Bridgeport is relocating to. Hughes is a Hobey Baker Finalist.

@IsleMagicNumber I don’t play that game. Every game is different. You might get shutout Sorokin on Saturday. You just play who’s on the schedule, take the W and move on to the next game!
English
@IsleMagicNumber Backs against the wall Islanders are the best Islanders. Can you smell what the Islanders are cookin? #isles. Unbelievable. We ride into Saturday full of confidence. We owe the Sens and Habs a good thumping after what they did to us last time.
English
Isles win!
Combined with PHI loss, CBJ loss, and clinching the tiebreaker over PHI moves # to 7.
5-point move!
Not sure I’ve seen that before.
English
@ejk612 @IsleMagicNumber I know. I was just messing around. We all know what needs to get done. My inner 2007 is playing mind games with me. Unbelievably I think they somehow manage to get in. #isles
English
@DMals74 @IsleMagicNumber I love this chart. Huge fan of @IsleMagicNumber
Just saying that none of it matters if we can’t win ourselves
English
Too complicated for me. All I know is if we lose tonight it’s over
Isles Magic Number is 7 (T: 6)@IsleMagicNumber
The number can move tonight by anywhere from 1 to 5 because we can clinch the tiebreaker over PHI. Tiebreaker is clinched if we win in reg. or PHI does not. Scenarios attached, they are divided by the result of our game. We play at 6:45 while the other big games are at 7:00.

#Isles fans if you hope for a new coach bump through the final 4 you are insufferable.
Patrick@Scudpat
@EthanGSN Its already started 🤣
English
@IslesCave And so it begins. The breaks the #isles seem to get when their backs are against the wall.
English
@IslesCave There are rumors he wants out of Ottawa and wants to play in the NY area.
English
@Ajsoti And DeBour is a Lou guy. Just imagine if they find themselves in the playoff and he coaches them to the ECF.
English
Harry is having a tough time reconciling Chris Lamoriello did a better job than Darche this year.
Harry F@harry4four
The Lou chickens coming home to roost are finally dawning on Alex.
English
@Ajsoti I have some weird strange feeling that they are going to get in as M3. They just always seem to get that break when their backs are against the Wall.
English
@AndyGraz_19 #isles gotta go 4-0 and Philly has to lose 2 of 4 to @Det, @Winnipeg, Canes or Montreal. I think we can stick a fork in them, they are done.
English
Updated standings with everyone on 78 games played (except Boston, who just about don’t matter at this point to #isles)
English
This season is officially on life support. The #Isles need one of:
—Win against Ottawa in regulation Saturday afternoon
—Have Ottawa lose one game to either FLA, NJ or TOR.
OR
—Philadelphia to lose 2 games, one of them in regulation.
AND, they need to go 4-0-0 themselves.
English
@IsleMagicNumber @nicolefshirman I think the Metro is our best chance to get in, so I think rooting for the Flyer and BlueJackets to lose out is the way to go. #isles
English
@nicolefshirman Pretty much lol. I mean go by their future schedules. Maybe whoever has the easier one should lose tonight.
English
So what I’m understanding is that CBJ vs DET is literally
Isles Magic Number is 7 (T: 6)@IsleMagicNumber
Rooting Guide for tonight...
English
@Ajsoti @philzfactz I think we get this mea culpa at the end of the year once the season ends. No way he’s going down that road now. If they somehow someway make the playoffs and go on a run and Shenn and Palat have big playoffs he’ll say see it worked out in the playoffs which is why I got them
English
All I want to hear from Darche is “the team was playing well I attempted to improve it, it didn’t work out. That’s on me” There has to be a mea culpa. I don’t buy this win now vs win later BS. That can change by the year. He either can make the right moves or he can’t. #isles
English
@UrNotMe715 @IslesDen Not any of the ones I’ve mentioned above. And the players play the defensive system they are instructed to play. Which is why Sorokin is facing a ridiculous amount of High danger shots. They run around like 5 year olds on a soccer field in their own zone & the wrap breakout sux
English
I just cannot believe how some people in this fanbase point the finger at Mathew Barzal.
It actually sickens me
Rob Taub@RTaub_
I’d just like to point out that Barzal does play a small role in how things transpired: -Decision against OTT cost them a point -His decision with the puck led to PHI’s first goal on Friday -His no-look pass in the o-zone led to CAR’s first goal on Saturday
English
@UrNotMe715 @IslesDen Yes it is coaching. With a splash of GM’ing.
English
Thoughts on Mathieu Darche’s press conference:
I like that he acknowledged the goaltender covered for his team defensively a lot. However, his Trade Deadline approach doesn’t show that.
I felt the hope he has to save this season. I hope we get the scoreboard luck we need #Isles
English
@philzfactz Looks like when Homer is back he takes Dukes spot and Duke takes Gatcomb? I pray 🙏
English
Wow a coach who realizes that Heineman isn’t a top 6 player i think im in love!
Ethan Sears@ethan_sears
Isles forward lines (no CIzikas or Holmstrom): Lee-Horvat-Duclair Ritchie-Barzal-Schen Shabanov-Pageau-Heineman Palat-MacLean-Gatcomb D were rotating without Pulock in attendance.
