Their goalies stood on their heads all season. They went up against the best 6 dmen, as a group, in the league. Normal goaltending and no offense doesn't win very often in the playoffs..

They're worn out, played a grinding style of hockey all year. Need to add skill players, cant get it done with Tom Kuhnhackl playing on the 2nd line. It was a good run but changes need to be made

Only Barzal have skills. Nelson Bailey Lee Eberle are good player, but none of those are legit top line forward.

Can't score and probably had too much time between games

@Banks @Jarvis TheJonSnow is right. Could you move this to the Islanders forum? I shouldn't have put it here, sorry. Thanks.

Agreed for the most part. But like Barry Trotz said, there are 23 teams who would love to still be playing, and I believe in this team. Go Isles in the 3rd!!!! We can do this!!!

Need another top 6 forward and they'll be a lot better, as another commenter said 'can't get it done with Tom Kuhnhackl playing on the 2nd line.
Maybe they should've gave Ho-Sang a shot in the playoffs to try and boost the offense a bit.

I mean if you're an Isles fan and I told you on July 1, 2018 that even though you just lost your captain your team would make the 2nd round I think Isles fans would have been overjoyed. This was an amazing season that nobody saw coming

Lehnet will be brought back almost definitely. And he should be. He'll want to come back and they'll want him back. I'm 99% sure of that. Lee's gotta be re-signing. But this franchise is a joke. Seriously, they're almost as much of a joke as the Leafs lol. But really, when I say the franchise is a joke I'm not saying they're not a good team, but they always seem to have something go wrong and they can never go far in the playoffs, when they do make it.

Agreed, it was a great season. Just not a very good ending. They played absolutely horrible. Seriously, they did.

Edit: When I say they played horrible, I mean horrible for a must-win game in round 2 of the NHL playoffs. Even with the way they played, they'd probably beat a junior team.

I know how you feel the Flames had an awesome season and the way they played in the playoffs just puts a sour taste in the mouth heading into summer

We need better offensive talent. Top goal scorer was Barzal with 62...that just doesn't cut it. I think our top goal scorer was Lee with 28...

Panarin would be a great signing if we can get him.
