COLLAPSE: Islanders BLOW Two-Goal Lead as Sorokin's STRUGGLES Continue Against Boston
Locked On Islanders - Daily Podcast On The New York IslandersAbout this episode
The New York Islanders squandered another 2-0 lead, falling 5-2 to the Boston Bruins in a game that exposed critical flaws across all three zones. Can this veteran roster fix its alarming consistency problems before the season spirals? Gil Martin dissects Ilya Sorokin's troubling struggles—four goals allowed on just 21 shots with questionable positioning that signals a confidence crisis. The analysis covers the team's special teams disaster (0-for-5 on the power play, two goals against), Mathew Barzal's reluctance to shoot, and a veteran group that can't maintain 60-minute effort. Bo Horvat earns hero honors while special teams take goat status. The weekly farm report highlights Bridgeport's split weekend, prospect Luca Romano's three-goal performance, and goalie Dimitri Gazman's excellence in Russia. Plus, a celebration of Dennis Potvin's 72nd birthday featuring his dominant four-point performance in the 1981 Stanley Cup Finals. Discover why this Islanders team lacks the complementary hockey needed to compete and what must change immediately. All this and more on today's Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.
