The New York Islanders suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat to the Rangers, intensifying scrutiny on their future before the trade deadline. Despite a so-called 'moral victory' from a previous game, the latest performance revealed issues with execution and missed opportunities, with three failed power plays and a crucial offside goal. Players like Patrick Roy and Kyle Palmieri expressed disappointment, emphasizing the need for accountability. As they prepare to face the Jets, uncertainty looms over potential trades and the team's trajectory in the remainder of the season.
Patrick Roy: "I don't know if I'm disappointed with the effort. I would be disappointed more with the result. I thought both teams were playing pretty much the same after 40 minutes of play. Not many chances on both sides and they had the bounce and we didn't." - Andrew Gross (@AGrossNewsday)
Kyle Palmieri on if this loss sends the wrong message to management: "We're disappointed in ourselves. And whatever kind of message that that send to whoever it is, we're the guys in this room that control it." - Stefen Rosner (@stefen_rosner)
