I am absolutely begging the national media to please keep doubting the New York Islanders. For the better part of three years, the legitimacy of the Isles has been brought into question, and time and time again they prove people wrong.
For the second year in a row, the Islanders are one of four teams remaining, yet once again they’re getting disrespected.
