(Hey, folks. I’m gonna try this for a little while and see how it goes. Every Monday, we’ll look back at the last week of Islanders games and what’s on tap for the week ahead. It’ll be mostly observational stuff but with plenty of diversions into nonsense in a format that will steal from at least a half dozen other features around the internet. Enjoy.)
The Islanders are back to begin their final, final (for real this time) season at Nassau Coliseum. Feels like their opponents for today’s home opener - the Boston Bruins - will miss the place as well, since they haven’t lost here since about 1932.
