SAS NHL posters promote a wrestling stream, and the Real NHL promptly has a wrestling-style unbelievable return that gets a huge pop (from the other 29 fan bases).

So what you're saying is that Roy should enter the arena to Van Vader's theme?

2) A team with a .544 points percentage fired its coach.

3) My dumb team is still content to ride their coaching prodigy all the way to the bottom of the ocean.

A team that just lost to the Blackhawks after blowing yet another lead from lazy disinterested play.

I was willing to give Lanelam a break for most of the season. But at this point he fully earned his exit.

I haven’t understood what Lou has done since joining the Islanders, and while it worked early, the team seems stuck right now. Unsure what Roy is supposed to accomplish.

A .544 points percentage is good enough to pretty much always miss the playoffs.

.544 last year would've been 21st place, behind the Buffalo Sabres, for reference. It's about 89 points over a full year. Right now they're 20th in the league. It's not good enough to make the playoffs, basically.

The East is still super close and all the teams around the Isles are also sucking just as bad.

If by sucking super bad you mean the Isles are the only team in the East with a losing record in their last 10 games...until you get to Ottawa/Columbus. Other than the Rangers. Who had a significantly overall record banking points. In fact the Isles have the worst record in their last 10 games in the East. Which just means LOL METRO. Best division.

I'm beginning to think that maybe spending $54m on your first powerplay unit, and $875k on your goalie might not be a winning strategy.

I wouldn't be surprised if him and Biebs came up with the idea and made it happen.

I am surprised they didn't turn back to Mike Myers and Jim Carrey instead of the non-Toronto celebs.

Yeah, they are legit friends. I heard an interview with Marner once talking about playing pickup with the 2 of them and complaining that Biebs wouldn't loving pass when him and Matthews were out there with him.

Cole Sillinger now breathing a sigh of relief that he wasn't even close to being chosen for the game.

Speaking of, the word is he and Tate broke up because her friend found his verified Tinder profile while they were a thing.

Oh, to be young and dumb and a millionaire and have an extremely attractive girlfriend and blow the whole thing because he didn't take down a dating profile (or thought he could do better?). :downsbravo:

E- loving hell, NHL, it's alternate captain, not assistant.

SHUT UP AND PLAY HOCKEY
I missed offsides review talk. If the offsides isn't obvious enough during the play, then it isn't enough to affect the goal. Wasting time on a review and then taking away a goal because a skate is a dime-width offsides is objectively stupid. Especially if the goal a after a minute of cycling.

Offsides: I don’t think about it. Ever. You watch enough American football that stoppages for like ten minutes with no resolution really don’t make you think twice.

Limit offsides review to 2 minutes and no slow motion. If it isn't obviously offsides on a full-speed instant replay from several different angles, then it's fine.

oh wow it just occurred to me that Roy's first game behind the Islanders bench will be tomorrow night against the Stars won't it?

Stars desperately need points if they want to even pretend to hang around in the division race with Winnipeg and Colorado but I imagine the Islanders will give a good effort for their new coaches first game..
