They need to sit Greene for a few games as well. He looked like he was standing still most of the night. I'm surprised his legs lasted this long with out giving out on him.

Conor. Garland.

Did the Islanders hire Mike Babcock or something?

How else is Barzal going to learn how to grind properly if Komarov isn't on his line?!..

Elite coach Barry Trotz has komarov on the ice with 2 min to go down a goal. You can’t make this sh*t up. They deserved to lose

No better time to learn how to grind then when youre down a goal with minutes to go. I love Trotz but when he makes decisions like this it's mindboggling.

Did Wahlstrom touch the ice in the final 5 minutes? honest question, cause the first line had an extended shift and then they went to Nelson's line. Not sure if Wahlstrom was on for the extra attacker

Only team in the NHL that makes the first line a checking line.

Pageau was the extra attacker didn’t see wahlstrom after his shift with about 3:40 left if I remember correctly.. it’s bad that I’ve gotta to the point at paying attention to this

Wahlstrom was put on the ice with 1.7 seconds left after Pitt iced the puck. That was his first shift in 3 or 4 min

Bellows can not possibly be worse than Komarov at 1LW, there's just no way

I'll take czarnik as well

Think they said during the game the 1st line with Leo has xGA of like .2, so its "working". if you wanna do it for the first 50 minutes, it's stupid, but whatever. Down 1 with a minute left, get your best offensive players on the ice.

Barzal and eberle have both been solid defensively all season . The reason why that line improved defensively because lee is below average in his own end. Neutering your star center by putting an offensive blackhole on his line isn't ideal...

Beauvillier is the best defensive winger on the team, he's the best forechecker, and per money pucks shooting talent model is shot is 8.1% above league average. Komarov's shot is 15% below league average. Seems like a good idea to reunite those 2

I agree love Trotz too. I’m very thankful he’s our coach and I understand the importance the grinders bring to our team. However I don’t understand why komorov is on the first line I’d rather put bellows in but even that isn’t the greatest option in the world. Lou needs to make a trade ASAP.

Czarnik would be great too, has plenty of offensive tools that might look great on that line. Don't understand why we don't use him more

I don’t understand what trotz is trying to prove by dressing the worst possible line with the personnel he has available
