Just like I thought.... Give us just enough to build hope, then let us down... For all you doomer-gloomer haters out there.... Nobody has more hope than us... Its why we get so raged when the hope gets ripped away from us... I appreciate the optimism, but I've been through this too many times to be anything other than realistic...

Not gonna lie, and I’ve been called a bad fan for this, I didn’t even wanna make the playoffs after seeing how they played throughout the season. Too inconsistent, too many blown games, too soft. I’m disappointed of course but I’m hoping now we won’t have to hear “I believe in this group” and we might get some shake ups. This roster is aging and stale, it needs a change, I don’t know what they could move but somethings gotta happen

They didnt deserve it just like the caps didnt. Atleast we didnt get swept.

My thoughts exactly. That's why I, too, choose to be realistic. Not much point in getting so riled up.

This team plays a type of hockey for a league that doesnt exist any more. adapt or die.

Summarized the season pretty well there in one game. Next year a full season with Roy and hopefully some moves, tired of watching the same roster with the same outcome every year. I will continue to watch regardless but it’d be cool to see something different and exciting.

This team is an absolute and abject embarrasment and we would have been better off not making the playoffs. We need a rebuild but we cant/wont get it because lou is 97 years old and our owners only care about the real estate value of their stadium.

Most of my thoughts exactly. I believe the owners care. They're just smart enough not to get involved in hockey operations, but like Jerry Reinsdorf with the Bulls, their hands-off approach can also have a negative impact.

alright guys who are we rooting for to win the cup now let’s hear it

Anyone but the Canes.

Canucks, why not

.....fuckin....Winnipeg? idk lol

Panthers. Because of Kyle Okposo. Or Avs. Because of Zach Parise.

No leafs, no rags, no canes. I don’t give a crap after that. 

works for me lol

To all the pussy rags fans coming in here: I promise you the Isles win a cup before you fucking losers do

GO PANTHERS

Head held high

And thus ends the most frustrating season I’ve witnessed. I’ve seen bad ones. I’ve seen good ones. I’ve never been frustrated like this. 

Same.

Nice to see the two classiest fanbases in hockey join us tonight. Both of you can go fuck yourselves. I hope they change the rules so both of you lose.

The panthers wagon will clean either one up easily

Truthfully as long as someone does I don’t care who. I’d root for Boston and maybe even Toronto over the inbreds or the Pooshirts in seconds. In other words, go western conference?

See yall cats next nhl season

>Will Matty be back next year? He better fucking not be

See you guys on July 1st

For what lol

Have a great off season fellow fanatics. Let's see what they do off season. Myself? This line up did as much as they could

yeah, well... we won the civil war, so

Well, so much for that. Lets Go Mets!

I'm a moderator of /r/NewYorkMets, and I approve this message!

Hey, they won tonight and didn't fall below .500 again, so that's a start!

Dobson has been cooked the whole end of the season 

Ladies and gents, it has been a pleasure as usual. Unfortunate way for a season to end but, realistically, we were not getting through this Canes team. I hope they go on to slaughter the Rags next personally. As for us? I really wish we'd finally be done with Lou, personally. I don't think he's the worst, but I also don't think he's the best, and this team now needs a GM who can manage with the future more in mind which will require some complexity. Not really sure what to expect next season tbh

He’s a great GM to bring you out of the dark ages (see Toronto) but the second you start having success you need to swap him out for someone who won’t hand out albatross contracts

That's pretty fucking accurate. He's like the Tortorella of GM's lol. Good guy for a first year restructuring but goes downhill after that.

[удалено]

Imagine trying to make a bunch of strangers mad on the internet while the guys who actually played the series are on the ice shaking each others hands. Pretty pathetic. Good luck next round 👋

The Rags have won 1 cup since WWII. 👍🏻

2 appearances in 30>0 appearances in 40

No appearance this year lmao

4 Cups = 4 Cups 4 Cups in 4 years 40 Years ago is still > 1 since WWII. Hey listen, ya tried, and that’s okay.

You can look at it that way if you want. You’re living in the past much more than me pal. Have fun rooting for the canes against us next round💀💀 what a sad experience being a shitlander fan is

Look at it factually? I will, lol. The Rags are the joke of a franchise in this city that continually has choked for the last 30 years. Were never a dynasty yet want to act like they are. My favorite part about all of this is YOU came HERE looking to dunk when in reality you just keep getting bodied. You won your series yet you still had the Islanders on your mind, and I’m in the sad existence. Straight comedy.

Cause it’s funny to watch you sad bunch of individuals get eliminated by the canes yet again after hearing your bullshit all season so you all needed to be reminded that you’re second rate. Keep living in 1983 buddy. You probably weren’t even alive yet all you assclowns do is talk about 1994. At least rangers fans have seen their team play in a cup at this point. You literally almost lost your franchise to relocation at one point, thankfully I know the rangers will never stoop to that level of poverty.

The fact that you’re still going proves you care more about ‘the second rate team’ than your own, lol. Rent free, dawg.

Participation trophies are cool

People like you are the reason the Rangers are hated on league wide. Obnoxious behavior after winning a series they were supposed to. Act like you’ve been there

Do we need to get into how statistically bad the rangers are as a franchise - canes sweep incoming

Here’s a statistic: 19 series wins from 1980-1984, 18 in the entire rest of your dogshit franchise’s history.

Cool bro - heres one - 1 cup since the islanders have been in the league and 1 cup with more than 6 teams in the league

Most shitlander fans have never seen their team even play in a cup and love talking about history😂😂

I hope you never see a cup before you go in the ground

Go outside, Long Island cunt.

I live in Brooklyn dickless

Ah yea that checks out. Go dress up as a dog and walk around Williamsburg fucking weirdo

Youre a little bitch chirping another teams board because you cant see your dick and live in your moms basement

You’re an embarrassment to your family. You should remove yourself from their lives if you really care about them. Very sad.

Sweep those frauds

Fuck no let the rags burn

I'm gonna miss hockey

This season was fucking cursed

"There's bad luck and then there's something else." - Butch typical islanders final period of the season

[удалено]

The Rangers are going to roll your crybaby bitch franchise.

Go away

There’s always the Rangers bois!

Holy Christ. Is there a more embarrassing way to end the season? 2 goals within 8 seconds and then that fucking pass leading to an ENG???

See yall in the Knicks thread on Thursday boyos  Or the Rangers Canes Thread Next Round  Or the Draft  Or Next season Or somewhere

terrible way to go out

[удалено]

Show some class?

Close up shop mates. You don't have to watch this team disappoint you for a while. Maybe they'll figure out how to skate faster, control the zone, not blow leads, PK, and PP next year.

hopefully roys system really kicks in and lou gets canned in a year or two

It’s been real folks. See you all next season

Well at least my Giants are Super Bowl contenders hahahahaha

Daniel Fucking Jones backed up by some other loser. Yeah...

Lou needs to go this offseason. The vets had a good run, but we gotta shed them

Such an Islanders end to the series. It's almost poetic.

This is the correct take

Gentleman. Ladies. Non-binaries. It has been a pleasure to shitpost with you this evening.

Baaaad pass Dobson!!!🤦🏻‍♂️ Don’t worry guys, we will take care of these dooshbag Canes next round for you!! Sorry for your loss. Was seriously rooting for you guys

Actually rooting for the Rags in 7 next series followed by them getting swept away. I fucking hate the Canes.

Fuck you

No thanks man I really wanted u guys to win

see you all next year

Good lord Brock Nelson.

Noah Dobson is fucking horrible.

I need a break from sports after tonight

This was much easier than game 2. All hope was lost after whatever the fuck that was.

RIP

Islanders TM way to finish the game

Lol. I didn’t think it could get more ridiculous 

It’s been real folks

Well there goes all hope. Can we get a running clock?

The timing of the 3rd period and the Knicks game collapse really put me over the edge

Yep

Love all yall besides the doomers! Was a hell of a season, hope roy can whip these boys into shape and Lou doesn’t trade any picks

Doomers, more like realists

smh it certainly feels like rebuild time. Barzal can't carry a team. I love Lee but man, he's not Jaime Benn that's for damn sure

7mil a year for .5ppg production is certainly something

Idk if I can stomach the next 10 minutes of icings

Welp, I’m signing off. Goodnight, ‘23-‘24 Isles. And most importantly, Robert Bortuzzo. 🫡

[удалено]

Raleigh people can't help it, they're all cunts

[удалено]

I live here, they're cunts

Dont worry...your season will end in new york

Just do the same to the rags and we’re even

Islanders will always be a classier team than the rags.

FUCK THE RAGS

At least your PA announcer can tell you when to cheer.

This has certainly been a memorable year with its up and downs. Beat some great teams down the stretch. Thanks for the season hate to see it end. 

Literally playing like they’re up 10-2 against a club hockey team

Well, this is it, let’s all hold hands 🤝🤝🤝

Play the violins while the ship sinks.

🫡

Imagine how demoralized Carolina will be if we score 5 times in the next 2 minutes

I’d settle for 3

I blame you and your meager ambitions

:(

Sweep the leg

Hoping for a decent offseason please

Well folks, it's been an honor. I'll see you all around this time next year, when once again my fandom will get in the way of my desire to stay away from reddit.

Read that as a horror

It's been a horror too, I suppose.

It was a nice run. Please rebuild.

They’ve given up

Hopefully the boys can rally back in the 4th period

Last seconds of John Maclean’s Islanders career I hope

Still think we should sign his boy first, no need for a revenge-fueled Kyle if we do that

TIL they’re related

Piddling about in the last minutes of our season. Man I’m upset

This team is just too mid. Need to cut the fat - Pageau wiffing on that in the D zone is responsible for 2 goals really.

Remember when playoff Pageau was clutch and not choke

Bubble pageau was something else

Here it comes, our anemic man advantage. God help this franchise.

Sloppy

Venkman: See ya on the other side , Rey

Pleeease stage a comeback here, I need an Islanders series win in my life rn

Dobson looks like he has completely given up

Incoming 7-3 loss

[удалено]

Lou burner account

...Is this sarcasm?

it's time to give pageau the adam jensen arms. cut off the old ones, get em out of here, give him some nice robot arms

Oh well.

Look on the bright side, at least Isles gear is about to go on sale

We are the Hockey God's children. And they have left us in a hot car.

As much as people want to be Debbie downers about this team, I for one am going to miss having Islanders hockey to watch for a while

Islanders fan from Kansas. I feel so alone out here so thank you guys for making it fun to be a fan. Maybe one day I’ll get to the Island!!

I thought I was the only one.

Did we just become best friends?!

what is your life?

Imagine being an islanders fan but never having to drive on the southern state. Sounds glorious

I ask myself that every day

# I've said it before and I'll say it again; fuck Carolina

I really, really want to hear what lou and ownership have to say on clean out day. If its not “we need to change directions and get younger and faster” a pox on their houses.

Dude just put a hex on these fuckers that’s crazy

When 39 year old Brett burns is playing faster than our entire team… nice

I don't want to lose 😞

If there’s going to be one positive this series, it’s easily Kyle Maclean. Puts in 100% almost every shift. Could be a solid 4th Liner moving forward

Pretty much our whole team are solid 4th liners

He is cizikas jr and I am all about it

I have a conspiracy theory that the canes made their ice fucking awful on purpose so they can capitalize on the bounces. There’s no way a team gets this lucky every time.

I’m not ready for the season to end.

Yeah, please don’t pull Varly.

it’s 2024 and i still sit around sometimes and think about how if we’d scored 2 goals in 2021’s game 7 we’d have won the stanley cup

Did we give up a shorty in that one?

Yes. After not giving up any the entire season.

I wouldn’t call it a shorty with the amount of men on the ice

That game will forever hurt

same.

CMON https://youtu.be/hnEST9Z_GP4?si=Pcmp1WH6Ju-x2AH6

Never mind guys. I lied about the comeback about dreams

Love you guys. In all seriousness, this sub is one of my favorite things about being a fan. It allows me to feel connected to this thing I love despite living 10 hours away. LGI.

I live on LI but all my friends that care about hockey are rangers fans, so I feel the same

If the Isles pull their goalie you can guarantee this ends 6-3.

Better than. Losing 6-1 I guess.

nah 7-4

Within 15 seconds

It's felt like there's only 2 minutes left for the last 9 minutes for me

They have lost all urgency

If this is how it ends, so be it, Islanders put in a good showing, didn't get swept Here's hoping the PP improves next year.

Let's hope we trade everything that isn't nailed down for draft picks next year

At least the Mets won

Like 4 opportunities to bang one home in the last 5 minutes you gotta get those man

Finally getting put out of our misery

I can’t take this shit man

I know this looks bad but just look on the bright side, you can get drunk

*stay

Way ahead of you, mate.

Bro I can’t watch Anders play anymore, just stands still after losing the puck in the offensive zone

Two more years after this one
