No pain, no goal.
(A trip back through the goals scored by the Islanders during the last season, be they meaningful, dramatic, ironic, hilarious, incredible or none or all of the above. An on-going off-season series. Maybe. We'll see. Just because.)
While most of his teammates heal up or just take time off, Islanders forward Brock Nelson is over in the Czech Republic, leading Team USA with six goals at the IIHF Men's World Championship.
The last two goals were scored against Slovenia on Sunday and were in-character for Nelson, who was doing what he does, hanging around the crease area looking for rebounds or redirects.
