@VoiceIslanderFn @TheNLKing @NYIslanders Agreed. For a third pair rhd that’s a reasonable ask given how hard it is to find one. He can occasionally chip in offensively and step in physically when needed and is on a very reasonable cap hit. He’s certainly not the problem with the roster.

I be surprised if @NYIslanders don't buy out both Palat & Mayfield this June. That will add $5M to their overall cap this off-season

@TheNLKing @VoiceIslanderFn @NYIslanders I mean, not playing Soucy with him would have helped a significant amount by itself. Mayfield is fine as the 6th d man, just don’t put someone worse with him and expect better results.

@IslesUpNorth Thinking of a Aitcheson Schaefer (can play right side) pairing in a couple years.. could be something fun to watch. Assuming aitcheson will need a full year in the ahl at least.

@flyingmitts I’d say it was close enough to the line that they would have needed definitive proof that it crossed in one of the cameras. Everyone’s acting like it was an inch or two over. When in reality it it did cross, it was in mms.

This was deemed a no goal, even though you can see the puck in the webbing, and logically it’s in. They couldn’t 100% say.

@DaveAMcCarthy That argument that it couldn’t be called a goal is how we have offside challenges that call back goals for a sliver of white ice after a 4-5 minute review.

I see a number of people who in one breath are big “data-driven” folks, but in the next breath suddenly are not interested in irrefutable math that says the puck was in and need to “see it with their own eyes”. What happened to data is confirmation?

@mattlabelle I do technically agree with this, but to disallow that would have been an injustice. The real anger should be focused at oilers management who pinned their hopes yet again on shitty goaltending.

Re: Oilers/Ducks controversy. The ruling on the ice should’ve been “no goal” No ref saw the puck cross the line in real time. Therefore, the replay review *should’ve* been to prove it crossed the line. There’s no clear view of the full puck and therefore should’ve been no goal.

Upon review, my main concern is that it seems his knee buckled under him on the way down. That might be the cause of injury rather than the block itself. Absolutely brutal for the young rookie in his AHL debut. Praying he is okay 🙏

Scary scene in Hershey as Daniil Prokhorov is prone on the ice after blocking a shot with the inside of his knee in his first game Varlamov skated down the ice and is kneeled down next to him for what I’m assuming is translation and reassurance

@19consecutive I can’t remember the isles having so many potentially good young prospects in Bridgeport at one time…ever?

I think expectations for Daniil Prokhorov in the AHL playoffs should be tempered. He’s never played in North America, on smaller ice, or with this team, so it’s probably best not to expect too much right away. If he adjusts quickly though, he should make an immediate physical impact. Big hits, heavy forechecking and net front battles that make Bridgeport much harder to play against. Realistically he’ll be in a bottom six role, so any production would probably come from dirty area goals. Best case, we get a glimpse of his gifted offensive skill while he brings that power game consistently. I’m super excited though, he’s a valuable depth addition who gives Bridgeport more size, toughness, energy, and grit. I can’t wait to see him in action with this group.

#Isles Transaction: Daniil Prokhorov has been reassigned from Dynamo Moscow to Bridgeport (AHL).

@datadomNY @rdel76 Not an argument I’d back. Pageau had double the points and was great on the pk.

@rdel76 It deserves a D at best, Pageau isn’t good anymore and Darche extended him 3 years despite have organizational depth at C. There’s an argument to be made that Cizikas was better than Pageau this year.

@ian_LGI16 @isles47 George can play the right side as well. May not be many changes on d. Schaefer Pulock Pelech Deangelo (I don’t want him back but they don’t have a puck mover to replace him) Romanov Mayfield 7th - George This is not what I want, but I think it’s likely

@isles47 Totally fair. I just see it as you have an 18 year old phenom you have to draft and getting assets from pelech would help. Deboer also said George is an nhl dman. Romy coming back. With Schaefer that’s 3 lefties without pelech

Bridgeport up 4-1 through the first 20 minutes, with Varlamov making 10/11 saves But the player I want to talk about is Cole Eiserman. You know the guy everyone said was a one trick pony? He’s showing that couldn’t be further from the truth

Daniil Prokhorov is officially headed to Bridgeport for the AHL playoffs and that’s huge for the organization. The #Isles’ 2025 2nd round pick is finally making the jump to North America and it’s hard not to be excited about what he could bring right away. Prokhorov has built a reputation as a massive, hard nosed winger who plays with an edge, exactly the kind of player built for playoff hockey. At 6’6”, he gives Bridgeport a true wrecking ball on the wing, along with the kind of net-front presence that can make life miserable for opponents.

@MatthewMilerNYI There was no question he was trying but there was also no question that it wasn’t good enough. They need another puck mover on d and that is not his game.

@AZ_NYIsles If he wants to return I’d welcome him back but it would have to be at a much lower cap hit and likely a reduced role. Warrior, leader, appreciate everything he’s done

I don't get the hate and hostility towards Anders Lee. I want him back, but even if you don't, be gracious about it. The guy has been an absolute warrior for the team, fourth all time in team history in goals and fourth in points this year, and a true gem of a human being.

@IslesDen Just my opinion, but I think knowing the isles are eliminated from playoff possibility means I won’t be as frustrated if they stink it up again. Just want to see one last game then we’ll see what happens for next year

No matter how the game goes tonight, just hope there’s no booing. This team fell short, but we witnessed generational play all year, great goaltending and still exceeded expectations. If this is it for Anders Lee here, he deserves nothing but appreciation from the #Isles fans.
