@stefen_rosner Any idea why they’re starting Hogberg over Tikkanen? Wasn’t tikkanen playing well?

B-#Isles can't score on 4-min PP. Passing issues the culprit. Highmore had Stevenson down and out but couldn't score.

@islanders_takes Darche’s moves have honestly been so upsetting. Dobson deal was pretty much only good decision. Kinda scary.

@IslesGirl3 Unfortunately, once they brought in Schenn, it made Lee expendable. Lee’s been a good captain, but the reality is this team has been bad and lacked readiness the past 5 ssns. Time for new leadership.

Some parts of isles nation that want Lee gone just got so pissed lol I personally would love Lee back for the right price
Stefen Rosner@stefen_rosner

#Isles Darche on Lee: "I'd love to see him play 1000 games with the Islanders. What that looks like, whether we were able to find something that's suitable for us and for him, we'll discuss."

@StapeNHL No. Team needs a guy they could roll out 25 to 30 games. Sorokin was gassed down stretch.

Varlamov has a year left on his #Isles deal. Could he really be a viable No. 2 next season after double knee replacement?
New York Islanders@NYIslanders

#Isles Transaction: Semyon Varlamov has been loaned on LTIR Conditioning to Bridgeport.

The Islanders are top 10 in Goals Against this season and acquired two prospects that are very promising. Cherry on top was Emil Heineman getting over 20G. There’s a lot to critique of about them now, but Noah Dobson’s exit was the best transaction in the past year. #Isles
Tiegan Mills@tiemills27

@IslesDen @IslesHouse Do you trade a player like Noah Dobson ?

@timyos325 @IslesDen @PizzaSportsGuy The reality is Darche could have done nothing, and they may have been in better or equally position to make the playoffs. End of day, it’s his job to evaluate team and manage long-term vs short-term. Darche failed in that effort.

@jonj77 @IslesDen @PizzaSportsGuy Darche made moves to try and get playoff games in the building. Ownership will not be livid at that. Ownership should be livid at players. The Players failed. Stop giving the players a pass jfc

Ondřej Palát is a healthy scratch. I think its fair to assume Ondřej Palát has probably played his last game in orange and blue. #Isles

@IslanderFansNYI Disaster trade deadline. Darche should not have veered away from the initial plan, which probably would have also ped to selling either JGP or Lee. The isles overachievment for 2/3rds of san hurt this franchise. Which is all very islanders.

Islanders Never Say Die@IslanderFansNYI·
So the “trying to stay competitive” phase for the #isles resulted in us trading away a 1st and two 3rd round picks while adding multiple +30 year old players. Obviously this resulted in us also not gathering assets for JGP and Anders Lee. The second window, which is the only true window where the #isles can win a cup has been significantly negatively impacted because people believe this team has a chance to be competitive, when we have missed the playoffs in back to back seasons and we have won 3 playoff games in the last 5 seasons….with a veteran laden core.
Rob Taub@RTaub_

The whole plan going back to when Darche took over was for the prospects/youth to take over in 2 years. Two windows and it was never changing: Next 2 years: Try to stay competitive while infusing the kids one by one Next 3-5 years: Youth movement takes over and hopefully the window to complete consistently for a Cup opens.

@IslesDen @PizzaSportsGuy It’s not fair to assume that at all. Isles buyout was Patrick Roy. They made debeor the 3rd highest paid coach. They’re not gunna commit to more buyouts lol

@tomlofaso76 They’ve lost every “biggest game” of ssn for past few weeks. Not a surprise.

@john_sage3 That’s what it all boils down to. Sens are a playoff team, and you could see the disparity b/w the two teams. Sens just better.

Unsurprisingly, PP basically ends #Isles ssn. 0-5 and a shg. Unacceptable. This roster will never accomplish anything. Darche needs to revamp this core. This group isn’t it.

@shamrockmarc I don’t hate Schenn, but I do hate that they traded a 1st rounder to acquire a 35yo w/ 2 years left on his deal at a $6.5mil AAV. It was an overpay, even if it did mean getting Drouin off the books.

To all the silly Schenn haters out there this is a nice little read. #isles
Stefen Rosner@stefen_rosner

Per #NHL stats: Schenn scored his sixth goal with the Islanders, which marks the second most among players moved on NHL Trade Deadline day this season behind Bobby McMann (8 w/ SEA)

@nicolefshirman He’s 18yo, and is now playing for a potential HoF coach, but sure… I’m sure he and his family are so disappointed. Give me a break! DeBoer is a massive upgrade over Roy.

Matthew Schaefer proceeded to play a very reasonable 24:50 (the most of any Islanders skater), score a goal, and call Pete DeBoer “awesome” in his first game with the new Islanders coach But yeah … stay tuned 😂
