The New York Islanders fan base can take a breath now. Mathew Barzal is now signed and was at practice on Saturday. Islander fans need to trust Lou Lamoriello a lot more.
New York Islander fans still have the psychological after-effects of the team being under Garth Snow for many years. The Islanders, of course, are now run by Lou Lamoriello, and that should give the blue and orange faithful a lot of confidence.
During this off-season at various times, especially these last two weeks when Mathew Barzal remained unsigned, many of the Islander fanbase were questioning Lamoriello.
