With the Islanders stumbling to the regular season’s finish line, fans of the orange and blue (and now sometimes black) have to be wondering what lies ahead. One has to wonder if they even have enough to make the playoffs this season, let alone win a series for the first time since 1993.
It would be extremely disappointing if the Islanders somehow miss the postseason tournament or get bounced in the first round. The team’s first season in Brooklyn would have to be labeled as a colossal failure. Either of those two scenarios would trigger a new topic of conversation for fans, particularly those who like to vent on social media.
