Loyal readers might recall that not quite four weeks ago I wrote an essay urging Islanders fans to enjoy the quest, stay positive and not worry about the future until the 2021-22 present had sorted itself out.
About that . . . never mind.
Since then, the Isles are 5-5 overall and 2-5 against teams that do not have a scary, orange mop for a mascot, and most recently they were seen losing at home to the expansion Kraken in a mind-blowing 3-0 sleepwalk.
