It was another weird week for the New York Islanders, completely befitting a weird season that held high expectations but has delivered only heads cratching and a nice new building.
After a stinker in L.A., the Islanders surprised us with a 4-0 shutout of the Ducks, a tough-luck loss amid a good effort vs. the Avalanche, a maddening loss to the Canucks at home, and a professional close victory over the Blues on Saturday afternoon.
That’s why they play the games, and all that. Speaking of which, the rematch with the Avalanche is Monday night.
