We’re conditioned to be pessimistic. Decade after decade of disappointment and failure have made us this way. As New York Islanders fans, we rarely have something to be happy about. But over the last few weeks, that frown is starting to turn upside down.
(That was lame, I know. Just know that I entertain a two and three-year-old most of the time. My material is very much catered to my audience.)
It’s not all coming up Isles, we did finish 17 points out of a playoff spot, and our star player is a month away from free agency.
