The New York Islanders needed a win to stay in the wild card spot. Unfortunately, the Isles failed to show up last night in an ugly loss to the Jets.
If you watched the New York Islanders in action last night it was a tough watch. The Isles scored early and did virtually nothing the rest of the way, except make mistakes, a lot of mistakes. For the Daily’s I usually provide commentary on a big story in Isles land. Instead, I’ll switch it up today and
For the Daily’s I usually provide commentary on a big story in Isles land. Instead, I’ll switch it up today and let Isles fans do the talking via Twitter. Here’s the reaction via the best website ever created.

This performance is a just as embarrassing as Monday night, just a pathetic effort #Isles

Well, there ya have it, folks. The voice of the people spoke. Sometimes after a tough loss you just have to delve in and accept the Isles misery. Sure dropping out of a playoff spot isn’t fun but the Isles are by no means out of it.
I’d be lying if I said I felt confident in how the Isles are playing. Hopefully, they can bounce back on Saturday, although it’s a matinee game and we all know how that usually goes.

Islanders fall out of playoff spot (Eyes on Isles)
Here are the highlights from last night’s game. If you missed it last night here’s everything you need to know.
Andrew Ladd one away from 20 (Eyes on Isles)
After a very slow start, Andre Ladd has begun to heat up and is only one goal away from 20 on the season. It’s tough to imagine that after his early struggles but has really come into his own at the right time.
