It’s the end of an era for the New York Islanders.
Faced with the task of beating Washington in a do-or-die Game 7, the Isles came out flat and paid the price. As a result, their season – as well as their time on Long Island – has come to a tragic end.
It shouldn’t have been this way. There should’ve been more hockey to be played. The Islanders had the momentum going into the decisive game and simply didn’t show up for 40 minutes. If that isn’t an accurate depiction of their season in a nutshell, I don’t know what is.
