So far this season, the only things that have gone right for the Islanders have been getting scoring from their defense and adopting rescue pups from the North Shore Animal League.
They’re 4-6-1 after a shootout loss to the Flyers tonight that wasn’t as close as the result would make it sound. Jaroslav Halak was very good, but if it wasn’t for a soft goal by Dennis Seidenberg (!) that went through Michal Neuvirth’s wickets, the Islanders would have left with bubkus, let alone a point.
After the game, head coach Jack Capuano sounded as out of patience as the few people still paying to watch his team.
