The Islanders are back home to face the Kraken, because they’re required to play 82 games, and we’re required to watch them, I guess.
I enjoy several individual players on this team, and the coach too, but as a collective whole they are kind of maddening.
One of those very enjoyable players is of course Brock Nelson, who has aged like fine wine, and who has achieved one of his goals of representing Team USA in a best-on-best tournament — if one can accept that the “best” includes only four countries, due to the NHL contract requirement and that whole invading-a-sovereign-neighbor-just-because thing that P*tin has going on.
