The New York Islanders are finally back home after a Western trip that wast absolutely not that long relative to the nearly two months they spent on the road to open the season before UBS Arena opened.
But how quickly we adjust. All those home games stacked in a row to even the home/away ledger (and with trips canceled by COVID Omicron) started to get a little stale. Then all those games on the road in February started to get taxing — maybe in part because they were late games for those of us on the eastern side of the continental divide.
