One of the best compliments people can give to Doug Weight is how seamless his appointment has been for the New York Islanders. It feels like Weight has been the Isles head man behind the bench for years.
This has been one of the reasons why the Islanders have played so well under Weight. The blue and orange are 13-5-3 so far under Weight. They’ve gone from the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings to being right there for the second wild-card spot in the East.
Demanding But Fair
Since taking over Weight has demanded a lot of the players.
