The New York Islanders could have simply shown up on Sunday and put up a stinker. You know… what they’ve done practically all season. For some reason against the Hurricanes, they showed up. They didn’t win, but they put up a good account of themselves. Going forward at least.
The Islanders seemed to show up as though it was to spite them for “firing” their GM mid-season. “How dare you do something we should do and make us look bad for not doing it.”
Or maybe it’s just because these players are professionals and don’t dial it in ever.
