Islanders News: New additions look good, but too much 2023-24 in 2024-25

For a team that swore it changed its ways and wouldn’t repeat the previous season, the New York Islanders managed to encapsulate nearly every issue from last year in just their first game of 2024-25. I didn’t think I could get so mad after game 1 of 82. Wrong!

They couldn’t kill a penalty, oh-fer-two. They blew three leads, two immediately after taking them, including once with under two minutes left. I wrote something similar over a dozen times last season, as did Dom. Noah Dobson may owe the guys dinner for his performance on both the 4-4 and 5-4 goals.
