My son was the boy who said “shitty ending.” It was his 2nd birthday—and the second one he’s spent at UBS. Although last year April 28 wasn’t the playoffs, it was the last home game of the regular season (one of the postponed games). Austin has now gone to 7 games at UBS, including the last 5 straight home games this season. This loss was the first loss he’s ever seen live. He was born during the 2021 playoff run; we watched the Isles play the Caps the night before he was born on a small iPad screen in the hospital. He’s grown to love hockey and the Islanders. He takes skating lessons at their practice facility, has pucks floating all around my house.. last night watching the Bruins/Panthers, he yelled “Let’s go Islanders!” at the tv. This season may be over, but he’ll see them go far one day. 💙🧡🤍
That’s hysterical! Thank you for sharing. I should’ve gotten the age closer than 4 or 5, but I was impressed by the vocabulary and how clearly he said it! I’m planning to take my girls next season for the first time. Can’t wait.
.....ummmmm. IRISH name much for him there, Shannon? LOL
.....just put up a 'FOTI' commentary post but, ASIDE from COMMON (of LATE) laments relating to offense, Carolina enjoyed the SAME kind of 'puck luck' LAST night, AS did New York Tuesday evening; BOTH their goals were EXTREMELY improbable.....personally, I have NO complaints about how our boys performed, OVERALL (yes, PERSISTENT power play struggles were BAFFLING) - but AS for OFFICIATING well, THAT's a whole OTHER story.....

It’s like the NYJ - “if we had a QB we would have been in the playoffs!”
The NYI’s is just “if our PP wasn’t the worst in the NHL...”
