For the umpteenth time this season, already a personal record for a given season, the made me so mad that I needed extra time to unwind before going to bed. Aside from my emotional priorities, something has to change.
Last night’s regulation loss to the —which should have been a regulation win against a team they’re supposed to be battling for a playoff spot—featured all the hits of the 2023-24 Islanders: poor decision-making, unnecessary penalties, a blown multi-goal lead, and a third-period collapse, perhaps the most embarrassing and demoralizing of all this season’s third-period collapses.
When it happens once in a season, it’s annoying but ultimately not a big deal.
