What a frustrating and infuriating game from start to finish after a frustrating and infuriating end to the game in Nashville.
After a frankly weak slashing penalty led to the Wild’s opening goal, the Islanders barely generated any offense at all and completely fell apart in the second period, where Minnesota scored two goals and dominated the whole time.
The Islanders never looked like they were going to get back into it.
It’s a rough look for a team that sees itself as a contender, and for an organization that preaches accountability. There are a lot of guys who could (and probably should) sit next game, but we’ll see what happens next.
