We can say it until we’re blue in the face: It is clear that this is not a sustainable way to play for the New York Islanders.
But man, is it fun and exciting.
Spotting 3-1 advantages to good teams usually leads to losses. It is, of course, excellent that they are banking points and regulation wins. It’s even better to see that they sit second in the Metro and fourth in the NHL, though they are tied with a bunch of teams with the most games played at 14.
More good news about this stretch: These games have come against supposedly strong opponents.
