New York Islanders head coach Doug Weight was fuming after his team’s 5-0 loss to the Dallas Stars on Friday. Rather than mail it in, he issued a simple challenge to his players: rebound against St. Louis.
They did.
Joshua Ho-Sang scored in his return and Thomas Greiss stopped 35 of 37 shots as the Isles took care of business against the Blues. It wasn’t always that way, though.
On Saturday, John Klingberg’s 3-point game helped Dallas humiliate New York on their home ice. During the postgame press conference, Weight was bothered with his players’ efforts, and he let them know it.
