Since the trade deadline, things around the Islanders have been a little, how shall we put this, stinkypoo. Not totally stinkypoo. But definitely a little too much stinkypoo than they should be.
First, let’s look back at the (mostly very stinkypoo) week that was.
Game 43: 4-1 loss to the Bruins
One of the bigger letdowns I can remember in the last few years. Three days off, trade deadline over, new acquisitions getting practice time, an opponent riddled with injuries.
And right from the jump, the Islanders were awful, getting pinned in their own zone for the first two minutes of the game until Brad Marchand scored a goal so strange, no one even realized it was in the net.
