COLORADO -½ +101 over N.Y. Islanders

10:08 PM EST. Regulation only. We want to make sure we understand what’s happening so the best thing to do sometimes is write it out.

The N.Y. Islanders have scored one goal in their last three games. That came in the third period against the Coyotes last game out. The game prior they lost to Vegas 1-0 but were outchanced, 26-11 and were lucky they didn’t lose 5-0. The game before that, in Nashville, they did lose 5-0 at a time when Nashville has been giving up four goals with regularity. With a lack of offensive production and talent, Lou Lamoriello and Barry Trotz talked it over and figured the best thing to do was go out and pick up Andy Greene from the New Jersey Devils. These two geniuses figured that was the move that was going to take the Isles up a notch.

The Islanders rank 29th in puck-possession time during five-on-five play. With the exception of an 8-3 win over Detroit about a month ago, every other win they accumulated this year has been a result of good bounces and great goaltending. The Islanders do not outplay the opposition. This team would have the same record as the Red Wings if their goalies weren’t standing on their heads for 60 games. When said goaltenders don’t have a great game, the Islanders get crushed. The New York Islanders are a fucking mess. There is no defensive system in place. There is no depth and there is no direction. The media and market have been fooled by this team for close to two full seasons now because wins and losses are all that matters. We’re not fooled one bit. The Isles are among the weakest teams in the NHL with only the Senators possibly having less talent. The Islanders are priced like they’re on par with teams like Philadelphia and Florida and we are going to keep attempting to take advantage of a massive misperception.
