The IIHF World Championship is over, the Western Conference final could end tonight — or else Vegas will get one more shot to prevent an epic choke — and the Memorial Cup is a third of the way through. Hockey is fast approaching its summer, but it’s not there just yet.
You know, there’s no Islanders news, but here’s one item:

- Oh, and by the way, yesterday in Islanders history? Back in 1974, they drafted Bryan Trottier and Clark Gillies, who each would prove kind of important.
