In October, Lauren Theisen of Deadspin wrote an article entitled, “A 2018-19 NHL Season Preview of Every Team, From Best to Islanders.”
The New York Islanders were projected to play so poorly that Theisen didn’t even bother to group them with any of the other teams. Instead, she put them in a category of their own — at the bottom of the league.
“They’re f—-d,” Theisen wrote.
As the Islanders near the midpoint of the season, it is becoming increasingly clear that Theisen’s projections are not just wrong, but completely off the mark.
