Are the New York Islanders ready for the playoffs? It’s a pretty simple answer. It can be answered with a simple yes or no answer. But there’s a lot that goes into answering that question.
What does it mean to be “ready” exactly? Could they win the Stanley Cup? Maybe, but it’s certainly a stretch to think they will win the Stanley Cup. What about simply being competitive in the playoffs?
We certainly didn’t expect the Islanders to be in the playoffs in September. So will they be ready to take this golden opportunity to prove that the regular season wasn’t a fluke?
