For a while Doug Weight had a pretty good mirage going. It looked like the New York Islanders turned a corner under his coaching and that they were taking strides towards being a contender.
Well, that all came crashing down with a brutal month of December and so far it’s carried into January as well. Injuries, regression, underachieving and lots of mediocrity has been the downfall of this team.
If you look at 2016-2017 during the Jack Capuano era and the 2017-2018 Doug Weight era you’d think this year’s squad must be doing so much better with all their prolific scorers.
