The 2018-19 NHL season has begun. The New York Islanders start the season on the road against a tough Carolina Hurricanes team. A team they’ve notoriously had a difficult time with.
It’s game one of the Lou Lamoriello era where character and a winning culture are the orders of the day. Where bottom six players are the ordre-du-jour.
While one game certainly doesn’t make a season, but if the Islanders had been vastly outplayed it would have only heightened fans anxieties built up over the summer.
While the Isles were out shot 46-20.
