Are we as New York Islanders cursed for being too successful in the first decade of our existence as an NHL team? Will success escape us forever?
It’s dramatic I know. But after the months upon months of building up expectations for the season, we all wanted to have this crescendo on opening night. We wanted our excitement to be confirmed with a great on-ice performance.
A win would have been great. Even a tough loss would have been ok. But losing in this fashion is unacceptable.
What Happened?!
Through the first twenty minutes, the New York Islanders just looked like the second-best team on the ice.
