Dan and emergency recall Carey Haber look at the Islanders recent losses, their struggles against winning teams and what qualities they’re still missing this season.
They look at good performances against the Kings and Wild that were undone by early goals against and costly mistakes, and how the Islanders failed to capitalize on their many chances to score. They also lament having so many players providing half the production they had in previous seasons and how its throws off the entire system.
In the second half, they talk about how Barry Trotz’s decisions have affected his team’s performance and what the team’s makeup has lost in certain roster moves that were not improved or replaced.
