Islanders News: And now we wait
Say it ain’t so. Photo by Mike Stobe/NHLI via Getty Images Was that it? It sure seemed like the end for Brock Nelson and Kyle Palmieri based on how Nelson sounded in his First Star interview with Shannon Hogan and his post-game locker room scrum. And I gotta say, I was getting emotional seeing Brock get emotional.
He is one of my favorite New York Islanders of all time, possibly the favorite. He’s fourth all-time in games played for this franchise and is high up on the offensive record lists, as well. When he came down on a two-on-one with a chance to shoot, he seemed automatic. He was always reliable in the playoffs, the quintessential second-line center with a goal-scoring touch.
