Fans cheer New York Islanders players at airport upon return from playoff bubble

Related Topics: New York Islanders

The New York Islanders just went on the longest playoff run the franchise has seen in 30 years, and they did it while isolated in a Canadian bubble (or two) six months after a pandemic cut the 2019-20 regular season short and cut off that singular electric feeling of fans cheering on their team in person.

So what’s an Islanders fan to do? Greet the entire contingent at the airport.

To thank them. To let them know how much they appreciate their playoff run. And to see some (masked) faces they haven’t cheered in person well too long.
