Instead of flushing Thursday’s loss down the toilet as we hoped, the New York Islanders excreted a similarly disappointing effort in another big opportunity to get two points in a playoff chase—they do know they’re in one, right? Because they’re back in the chase again; they fell out of a playoff spot.
They spent most of the matinee game looking like they were taking their gameday afternoon naps. That they even got a point out of it is probably a testament to how bad the Ottawa Senators are. Even Patrick Roy agreed: The Isles just gave that game away, as they so often have this season.
