In some ways, it's an absolute miracle both teams didn't lose this game in regulation. By multiple goals. Seriously how did we survive that onslaught in the last 60% of the game?

Thoughts?

Our new longest drought in a city is LA, with our last win there being on October 18, 2018. Valtteri Filppula had 2 Goals and an Assist, Anders Lee had a Goal and 2 Assists, and Mayfield had 3 Assists in a 7-2 win. This year we play the Kings in LA on November 12, 14 days from now.

New York Islanders defenseman Matthew Schaefer made history Tuesday night, becoming the first NHL player to skate the entire five-minute overtime period without leaving the ice since the league began officially tracking real-time ice time in 2009-10. The Islanders went on to beat the Nashville Predators 4-3 in a shootout.

Schaefer capped his marathon shift by skating back to defend a potential breakaway in the closing seconds of overtime. He chased down Predators forward Filip Forsberg and separated him from the puck before he could get a shot away.

It was also the longest shift by an Islanders skater on record (since 2009-10), passing the previous mark set by Casey Cizikas of 4 minutes, 50 seconds on March 9, 2023.

Schaefer led all skaters with 32:16 of total ice time and is averaging the fourth-most ice time per game of any player in the NHL this season. He also logged an assist for his 11th point of the season, which leads all Islanders defensemen and ranks eighth league-wide among blueliners.

It was also a notable evening for another Islander; Semyon Varlamov stopped 20 shots for his first NHL win in 712 days. His last victory came on Nov. 14, 2024. The veteran netminder returned to play this season after having each of his knees partially replaced. It was his 77th overall win with the Islanders, tying him with Roland Melanson for eighth place on the franchise’s all-time list.

Anthony Duclair has been on a roll lately! Do you think he will ever start a desert company called Duclair's Eclairs?

Anyway, we should sing a song about Anthony Duclair to encourage more goals... and maybe some desserts!

Who’s in Nashville tonight? Anyone meeting up? I’m putting together a team. We’re gonna WILL these fuckin jerks to a regulation win tonight I don’t care if I have to cling to Horvat’s back and tell him where to go and what to do. We’re taking these 2 points tonight I do not care.

Has anyone parked in the ruby parking lot at UBS? Is it close to the arena? Is there bad traffic getting out? Would you rather do that or take the train from ronkonkoma? Thanks

I'm from CA and I will be attending an Islanders game during my stay in NY. My first thought was whoa, it seems kind of out there away from everything. It made me think there's an NHL team all the way in Elmont? I've gone to a Mets game and it's giving me that same underdog local community vibe. I don't know if that's how you'd describe it. For whatever reason I was really drawn to the Mets underdog vibe and I don't know if the Islanders have that same feel but my gut is saying yes and making me gravitate towards it.

Unfortunately looks like I’m landing at JFK and heading straight to the game next week vs the Canes. There’s very little on the UBS site about the bag storage in the Great Hall.

First game at UBS and excited to finally check out the arena. Very little info on the UBS site as to how the bag check operates. Does the Great Hall open before the main gates? Any idea on cost or size restrictions?

Jason Robertson -- 2nd round draft pick 39th overall Wyatt Johnston -- 1st round draft pick 23rd overall Rantanen -- Trade acquisition Miro Heiskanen - 3rd overall Thomas Harley -- 18th overall

So when some of us are pissed off at Darche for dealing that late 1st for 3 years of Schenn, maybe shut up.

And also, you don't need to draft at the top of lottery to be the team you're all wishing we were this morning. You need to have a good GM who knows talent and good systems in place to develop them.

You need to have a creative GM who can make a good trade and is active in the market.

The Stars were built with one top 3 overall and the rest of it was a good GM working the draft, free agent and trade lines.

What’s Debour’s excuse of the day? Barzal was building a tree house and forgot to cut out the door? It’s his tree house he knows what he’s doing?

First thing I saw on twitter when you search Mat Barzal. His digital footprint is insane 💀💀💀

Original story from Josty

It’s very obvious that the team:

1) Is DOMINANT when Schafer is on the ice. You can see the ice tilt the moment he gets on. And on the other hand you can see how the other teams immediately score when Deangelo/mayfield/whoever gets on after him. Their road games are gonna be ROUGH when other teams can game plan for him

2) Can’t score. Especially without macelli, Barzal, Ritchie, and Romanov. Thankfully the macelli and Ritchie injuries weren’t too damaging. Barzal I’m not sure but it seems like this might be a thing all year. At this point I’m wondering if you just put him on LTIR and use the extra cap space to maybe be a broker for a guy at the deadline? Taking a guy with 1/2 years on a deal and retaining half for a team and taking assets from both would be some tidy work.

3) Doesn’t want to burn a year off the ELC of any of their prospects in Hamilton. That I understand, and to be honest, I don’t think they’d be NHL ready either way (I’m talking about eiserman, aitcheson, and Gustafson mainly) but if the islanders are clearly out of the playoffs by thanksgiving/Christmas time, and by the trade deadline, do they just decide to trade off anyone of value (Pageau, Pelech, Pulock, Palmieri, etc) and bring up the kids for the remainder of the year? Again, burning a year off the ELC sucks but at a certain point you get into diminishing returns where you have less and less games, so it gets to the point where you might as well wait until there are 9 games left.

Just wondering about your thoughts because it seems like this is a dead .500 team spinning the wheels here.

Just wanted to say from a Pens fans perspective that I personally really loved this entire game and was one of the times I thought we actually deserved the beating. I gained a shitton of respect for this entire organization after that game. So 15 years later all I gotta say is.... Good Game from a Pens fan.
