The shopping list of the low season of the islanders became longer.
This was Marcus Högberg’s network this day, with Ilya Sorokin with an injury at the bottom of the body suffered on Tuesday night in Nashville, and is Högberg whose long -term perspectives are more delayed by the worst performance of Thelanders of Thelanders.
There was a lot of guilt, guilt and shame to be clear.
Adam Pelech and Ryan Pulock were less-5 and less-4, respectively, with Pulock as a guilt for a horrible rotation that led to the first goal of the Rangers.
Alexander Romanov was in banking for 10 minutes of the second period after going around the album and failing into the goal of Artmi Panarin at the end of the first, with coach Patrick Roy later saying that he “noticed” that Romanov had been in the bank. Bo Horvat was less-5, so it was different.
“There is not much to say,” Lee said. “We play a game of horses.”
As a team and as an organization, the islanders will be embarrassed by this, in which Rangers fans taught about UBS Arena and the Rangers on the ice of UBS Arena.
During all the bad nights through this season, all brutal injuries and losses, this was the first time that the islanders did not seem interested in competing and their pride was in doubt, and Kyle Palmieri said it much later.
They are not officers eliminated, not until Canadians win one more point or the islanders lose another game, but they are ready and know they have finished.
If allowing seven goals in Nashville on Tuesday it was not enough evidence, then this was more.
The islanders hung Högberg to dry.
And yet, the Swedish performance on Thursday, its .720 savings percentage in six games since he returned from a broken hand a month ago, Medianders must consider bringing a backup goalkeeper this summer.
“So disappointed,” said Högberg, stunned and subjected, after allowing eight goals in 30 shots on a night when he was surprised, then, at 4:43 later, after Tristan Lennox allowed a goal in the second shot he saw.
Semion Varlamov, who fell with an injury at the bottom of the body at the end of November, suffered a setback in rehabilitation after the initial plan was that he met with the team for practice when he returned from Utaah in January and does not have a leg audience field.
Even if it is, the 37 -year -old has now lost time with an injury in four consecutive seasons, even with what is evidently a serious problem this year.
Högberg did a good job in what was essentially an emergency supporting role in December and January, but in six games since he returned from a broken hand, he has fought badly.
With the state of Sorokin without being clear between now and the end of the season, this seemed an opportunity for Högberg to get a de facto test to be the no. 2 In autumn.
Well, you can scratch that now.
As bad as the islanders played in front of him, Högberg leaked bad rebounds and bad goals. He looked without confidence in the fold and understandable.
“We cool these rich men and it is a team that moves the album very well,” Roy said. “Most of them were passes from side to side, and scored in those. So I can’t say more than that.”
It is true that everything was the goalkeeper. But it was more than enough about the goalkeeper.
The islanders, who have mounted Sorokin hard for three consecutive years, cannot afford to risk their support.
They need some in which they can trust, they need some who remain healthy and need classes of the workload of their no. 1 Because it is only one year in an eight -year contract and there is a future to think.
There is no choice but to do that a priority this low season.
