It was a bit of a rough summer for the New York Islanders, the coda of a long, drawn-out, and yet-unfinished bit of drama surrounding the identity of this team. With a new coach, a new general manager, and a new building on the horizon, how does this team find its way back to relevancy? We’re joined by Dan Saraceni of Lighthouse Hockey to talk about the new-look Islanders and what we should expect from this afternoon’s game. Topics include:
- How hiring a new good head coach and a new bad general manager immediately impacts a team
- The struggles of Nick Leddy, the young stud defenseman, whose slow start to the season mirrors that of Ivan Provorov
- The best way for the Islanders to improve the team in an impactful way
- Life after your franchise superstar leaves you for good/
This afternoon’s game kicks off from the Wells Fargo Center at 1PM on NBC Sports Philly. Just win, you idiots. Just win.
