The 2010-11 season saw the New York Islanders continue to struggle. Both Kyle Okposo and Mark Streit were out for months with shoulder injuries. By mid-November, the Islanders had won but four games and fired their head coach.
On November 15th, 2010, the Islanders faithful were introduced to Bridgeport Sound Tigers head coach, Jack Capuano. Little did we know how important “puck luck” would be to us all over the next six years.
With only five wins by the end of November, the Islanders obviously didn’t make the playoffs. They finished the 2010-2011 season with a 30-39-13 record with 73 points.
