IMHO this whole losing the lead is all in the head. They need a new boss to rattle some cages.

I agree. And, as a team that has just missed the playoffs the last couple of years, it's games like last night's that are a direct cause of them just coming up short.

I thought it was interesting on the Pens broadcast last night how they talked about the Isles being in a no-man's land where they barely make the playoffs and aren't bad enough for a top pick. Insert the Penguins for Islanders and it's exactly the same thing but they didn't mention that - company men, I guess.

DK on his pod has finally started to take subtle jabs at Sullivan. Basically saying the coach isn't changing the teams approach and defensive schemes. Just talking a good game in press conferences, but nothing changes on the ice.

Really would like to see KD step up and do something here. Attendance is down, which means less coin in FSG's pockets. That will make them do something.

Winning changes everything. Bring in a fresh voice. This team should not be this bad.

Placed the blame at Sullivan's feet for once. It's overdue. That said, he's been bouncing all over in recent weeks. It's the goaltender (Jarry). It's the forwards lapsing. It's the defencemen (Grzelcyk is his whipping boy). It's the system. It's the defencemen (all of them!) Now it's the coach.

Man has an entertaining podcast and decent insights, but pick a lane okay?

Our defense is so soft, lost in space and full of errors every game its painful to watch.

5 Losses giving up 3rd Period Leads,all with a 2 Goal Cushion if I'm not mistaken.They had 10(if not more) Blown 3rd Period Leads last Year.At some point this has to cause the Coach to be held Accountable

Maybe it's all of the above!
