Since my earlier thoughts are now useless (just a few minutes quicker than usual), here's a few thoughts on the #Isles firing Patrick Roy and hiring Peter DeBoer: -- As one longtime #Isles fan just said in a chat: This franchise has never been proactive in my lifetime. I'll amend that to one time: When Lou pounced to hire Barry Trotz before the ink was dry on Barry's WSH divorce. It made all the difference. -- Darche and ownership getting aggressive here makes sense to me: Jump what could be a long line for DeBoer at season's end, maybe give the #Isles a jolt into this postseason and move on from a coach GMMD was likely not sold on for the future of this team regardless of whether there were playoffs this season. -- Could be 5-6 teams looking for coaches once the season ends (TOR, LA, NSH, CBJ, WPG, VGK) and DeBoer/Cassidy/Laviolette would be in demand. As long as ownership was willing to eat $ on Roy and pay up for DeBoer, you gotta act fast. -- DeBoer's first year behind the bench: Took NJ to the Final in 11-12; took SJ to the Final in 15-16; took VGK to WCF in 19-20; took DAL to WCF in 22-23. -- Bringing DeBoer in and not searching for a less experienced coach to grow with the younger #Isles tells me ownership wants to win soon. That tells me they're ready to be aggressive this offseason in remaking the roster. -- Buckle up.

Who else but Sarah Fillier! MSG is going NUTS. @PWHL_NewYork ties it up late in the 3rd.

Ristolainen hits Cizikas from behind, a blatant cross-check, but no call on the play. #Isles

@sharkscharmer Yes, it is statistically correct.

do the islanders regularly pull their goalie with 8 minutes left 😭😭

A very funny #Isles fan behind me just yelled “wake up or I’m going to write something bad about you on Twitter — you don’t want that!” I hope he sees this, he’s been cracking me up

@KcMcCann @AGrossNewsday You’re right, you have no idea what boarding is lmao.

@AGrossNewsday If that's not boarding I don't know what is

Anders Lee will not be penalized for hit on Josh Norris. They're scraping the blood off the ice now.

@formxle nah, they want him to "answer" for they guy having 0 awareness on a normal hit. Fuck em, enjoy the broken arm or whatever.

Lee not giving a fck was hilarious bc man idk at least look at him and make sure he is okay? 😭

There is just absolutely no way Isaiah George and Marshall Warren are worse than Carson Soucy. There is just no way.

@JDK4Sabres @IslesAllaVodka @BR_OpenIce LMAO just say you have no idea what boarding is. Jesus the tourists really all do come out when a team is winning.

@IslesAllaVodka @BR_OpenIce If you're talking about the hit on Norris. You're wrong. He sees Norris's number the entire way. Literally textbook boarding.

This was the hit that led to the fight. No penalty was called.

@LongIslandLady7 @stefen_rosner @NYIslanders This scenario aside, "When you lose the game you have not ‘played well’" could be one of the most uneducated comments about the sport i've heard in a minute.

@stefen_rosner When you lose the game you have not ‘played well’. Two very lackluster games from @NYIslanders it seems like they’re ready to clock out for the season 🤷🏼‍♀️

Asked Roy about #Isles D-zone coverage: "I thought we played really well tonight. I mean, they scored, what, two power-play goals, and the last one was, I think, we kind of duplicate on that last one. I mean, I think Bo or Schaefer could have stayed in front of the net and protected the play there, but other than this, I have zero complaints."

世界の皆さんがロックマンをとても大好きだということが良く分かったけど「ゼルダの伝説」は海外でも人気なのかな？ 意外にもこの曲はギターがとっても合うんだよ🎸
