Welcome to the final set of Bits of the year 2018, loyal LHH commentariat. Throughout this calendar year, we’ve covered a wide variety of Islanders news on this forum, and, as fans of this team, experienced a world of change, including watching that world get turned upside down over the summer. It feels fitting that one of the last games they played in 2018 was against the Maple Leafs. It signaled a bit of closure from the wild year it was, and if you want to get really corny and philosophical and artsy-fartsy with me about it, a thrashing of John Tavares’ new team is the perfect way to enter a new year without him, especially in the context of the positive direction the team seems to be headed in with new management and coaching.
