“Don’t do that again.” That was the single thought in every New York Islanders mind after the team’s 3-2 shootout win over the Philadelphia Flyers last night. With no effort after the opening eight minutes, the Isles were lucky to get away with two points.
Another effort like that and the Islanders will certainly find themselves with an L against the Rangers.
