I think that as a fanbase there is still a legacy of us being used to your goaltender being able to play 70+ games in the regular season.
Anything less is seen as a failure. Especially since the guy that used to do it mostly ate pizza.
Doubled his points total from last season. 6ft 1 , 195lbs so he has got the frame.
Maybe a similar sort of project to Halonen?
Maybe he makes the bottom 6 one day, worth a shot.
We have managed to gather together some of the NHL's most gifted attacking players and all of a sudden there is a drive for defense and toughness?
Every coach will argue they bring accountability and will implement it in their own way.
What this team needs is a proper system and to be coached properly.
The thing that makes this worse is that the teams around them have been wildly inconsistent as well. The opportunity to grab the season by the scruff of the neck and put a run together was there, and the team just haven't looked interested.
No looser points in site for the Islanders today!!
Keeping ourselves alive , just barely.
This makes losing to the Sens even more bloody annoying though.
