Elliotte Friedman reports that the #Isles made Pete DeBoer the 3rd highest paid coach in the league. Ownership is all in.

Sorokin looks discouraged coming off the ice. #Isles

Just to have a chance, the #Isles need to go 4 for 4. They start off the DeBoer era with a W!

The Leafs were always going to be the easiest team to beat. The real challenge starts Saturday against the Senators.

🤞🏻 #Isles

Rough night for Ilya. Yikes. #Isles

Barzy looks dynamite tonight. #Isles

a hockey player with the number 40 on his jersey is on the ice ALT: a hockey player with the number 40 on his jersey is on the ice

Superstar! Just tied Brian Leetch’s all-time record for goals by a rookie defensemen. Incredible! #Isles

Sorokin does not look his best tonight. Not his fault, but not at his best. Whole team needs to refocus. #Isles

Holmstrom looked like a top-6 winger that period and Shabanov looked like a top-9 winger that period. Great. Mayfield and Soucy looked like AHL defensemen. They cannot be in the top-6 next season. Just can't. #Isles

LET’S BO!!!

Holy shit Mayfield is so bad. #Isles

Pageau!!! #Isles peppering the rookie goaltender. Need to keep it coming.

The top-6 buzzing early #Isles

Horvat came out as the extra man and the #Isles did a good job keeping possession in the offensive zone leading to the goal.

Islanders’ Matthew Schaefer’s Epic Easter With The Martins & Finding A Second Family In The NHL Matthew Schaefer shares the story of his Easter with the Martins, his rookie NHL journey, and how becoming part of a family off the ice has helped shape his development with the Islanders.

“I think this has helped me so much this year…I just love being part of that family.”

Seravalli has and always will be a pathetic excuse of a "reporter." @frank-seravalli.bsky.social #Isles

no interest in hearing how buttal the scoreboard is for the #isles. if they didnt lose 4 in a row last week, it wouldn't be brutal. you reap what you sow.

George extra. Booooo. #Isles

Flyers and Senators won tonight. Really makes things tough. #Isles

A smart man. Barzal is best up the middle. Schenn and Ritchie can also take the draws. #Isles

Islanders Room Reflects On Patrick Roy Firing Patrick Roy's firing came as a shock to the room.

The Duality Of DeBoer’s Alignment With Islanders What Pete DeBoer could mean for the Islanders as they balance a rising prospect pipeline with a veteran core.

The #Isles finally have a wave of young talent coming.

Now they’ve paired it with a coach known for developing it.

It is going to be really challenging to play catch up after these 5 days off. Will likely be out of a playoff spot by night’s end. #Isles

This season + 4 year contract. #Isles

Two things can be true at once:

1. The Islanders roster has a lot of old, slow guys and their record is the result of great seasons from Schaefer, Sorokin, Barzal and Horvat.

2. Patrick Roy had no fucking idea what he was doing and had no gameplan other than “play with joy” and “be Joe Sakic.”

Darche deserves a full summer before writing him off. Hopefully he is smarter than that! #Isles
