Isles Rant

Created by: ALjet12
Team: 2021-22 New York Islanders
Initial Creation Date: Dec. 2, 2021
Published: Dec. 3, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
First off I think the Isles should fold in the season. They are not good enough to be a playoff team. Even if they make the playoffs by some miracle they can not beat any of their division opponents.
I would have try and fold the season to get a top pick in the draft then make a run at the playoffs which means giving up more future assets. They have to go through a retool. Bailey is invisible. Anders Lee is not himself like three years ago. He is too slow to keep up with Barzal. Palmeiri value has tanked in the last two years. Pageau looks like he is snake bitten maybe still recovering from an injury. Martin should not be a regular anymore. Clutterbuck should retire at the end of the season. Cizikas looks lost. Chara is a liability. They are missing a puck moving defenseman ( Devon Towes still haunts the organization to this day, stupid Trotz) Varlamov has no support around him and is still trying to condition himself from missing all the time from the injury. Nelson is injuried so our best scorer is out but his goal scoring is screwed because he scored like 4 goals in one game. Beauivillier looks streaky as ever. Greene game is outdated but at least he puts in effort. The isles should of never split up their top D pair
If it was not for Sorokin the Isles would get blown out every night, he is a true number #1
Trotz has to trust Dobson because he is shown flashes of a top 4 dman. Salo should play every night, who cares if he makes mistakes he is only 23yrs old Towes was 25 when he made the jump to the NHL. The isles neglect Wahlstrom he has potential to be a top six forward and the forward that has the most goals. A young forward will make mistakes but you must giving him the ice time to improve.
This is a development season so Trotz play the young guys and let the isles bottom out it will be more beneficial in the long run.

This team needs (and deserves) to have an embarrassing season so that they are forced to make significant changes during the offseason. Let Trotz keep riding Chara and giving Bailey 20 min TOI, the hope is someone in the organization realizes that you can’t rely on washed up vets and succeed.

What Trotz is doing right now is why he got fired in Nashville and Washington btw - he’d rather do things his way and lose than make necessary changes.

I agree, he’s extremely overrated. I’ve never seen a coach mishandle kids the way he does, it’s insane

I’m almost 100% positive all the accounts responding to dynodangle about Wahlstrom are one person using a bunch of burner accounts 😂 - what these delusional fans will do to push a narrative

Yeah it seems like these kind of delusional fans believe for real that we’re gonna do a ”St. Louis Blues” and win it all this year. They make it sound like it wasn’t a f****** miracle Blues won that year. The season is lost if Isles not go on a 20-0-0 record the next 20. The most infuriating thing is that we’re last in GF by a 10 (!) goal margain. That is so embarrasing. If you’re last by a 10 goal margain with this group you do something extremely wrong as a coach.

Has Barry taken any blame in public this year except from when he said that he probably shouldn’t have put Chára on the pp? He’s lost it completely.

If you read through the thread, you can tell every account talking sh*t about wahlstrom is ran by the same person , the guy dynodangle hasn't figured it out yet. When one of the accounts posts a tweet , within a minute there's like 5-7 likes on the tweet. This fanbase is something else, man.

The Blues suffered from terrible goaltending, were getting great goaltending but can't score because Trotz refuses to put players in a position to succeed at even strength + PP

Yeah, seeing Sorokin have a +10 GSAx is crazy. 6th best in the league in that metric. Trotz deserves to be fired yesterday.

Trotz is regressing as a coach , his decision making has gotten worse and it he only gives ice time to the players he respects the most. Isles will have a 1 min shift of sustained o zone time, opposing team will ice the puck and he’ll put the 4th line on the ice. It’s insulting to the team and the fanbase

Yeah it’s like he doesn’t even care anymore. I honestly want us to lose every game based on the current structur at the club.

The strong play resumes from Isles. 3 shots on goal after 1st. Chára is the worst player at this level I ever witnessed, it’s getting hilarious to watch him. He_can’t_move lol.

Yeah at this point it’s pure comedy to watch that pylon embarass himself. Still waiting for a reporter to put Trotz on the spot and ask him what he sees in Chara

This is exactly how he was towards the end in Nashville. Used to bury filip forsberg on the 4th line.

Wahlstrom got 10:55, Bailey 20:53.

Blashill gave Raymond 21:00 and Seider 27:32. He doesn’t care that they’re rookies. They are 2 of his best players and are handled that way.

Bailey is one of the softest players I’ve ever watched, he’s lazy as hell and somehow gets rewarded
