The 2018-19 New York Islanders season didn't go as anyone predicted. With 103 points, making the playoffs, and then sweeping the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round the Islanders had proven that you can't predict what will happen before a puck is dropped.
But making predictions is half the fun of the pre-season. Trying to figure out how things will shake out and reacting to those predictions later is one of my favorite things to do.
While the 2019-20 season isn't technically over yet, I can still look back at my five bold predictions for the New York Islanders 19-20 season to see how close (or how far) I got on all five counts.
