The 5 Hole: Pas Assez

To understand what the outcome of last night’s game, just read the title above. The Islanders and Canadiens finished off a home and home, with the Habs sweeping both games and winning by a score of 4-2. The loss tonight left the Isles 0-3 this year against Montreal, and just one win in their last seven outings when they meet that team from North of the Border. Here’s the best from social media from last night’s defeat.
Always good to see the Captain going to the dirty areas and get rewarded.

Wish this was the summary for the entire game, but not with this team.

If you don’t think this team gift wraps goals for other teams, your not from this planet.

The key word here: “Just as the power play expires”.

Just as PP expires — and seemingly in spite of soft passes from Bailey and Grabovski — Lee corrals one in tight and scores. 2-2 at 11:53.

This just about sums it up completely.

Beck + Bench minor. Fitting way for a mismanaged and poorly coached team to lose this game. One step forward, two steps back #Islanders

Hmm…Maybe the Islanders should take notes.

That's how a winning teams pp looks late in a close game.

Really, if you think about it, we’ve seen the so called full smash way to many times this season so far.

You are seeing the full smash tonight, folks. Offensive ineptitude, stunning coaching decisions, in-game nonsense, ST collapse. #Isles

Congrats on your acceptance in to Isles Twitter.

I like the Isles talent. I don't like their coach kind of melting down. You got to be the leader of discipline.

So the two things that were disgusting tonight, Gallagher’s finger, and the Islanders effort.

"It was pretty gross" – Johnny Boychuk on Brendan Gallagher's finger.

Undeniably disturbing, and doesn’t seem to be changing.

#isles fall to 0-6-0 vs. Atlantic. 10-2-3 vs rest of #NHL

Let’s end on a positive note, sort of.

Just a hunch, but I'd bet Strome is back up soon.
