Enjoy the win, we all know where it places them on 1/18/19. Tough work just getting started. You know how the math works, get to ten over, then push to fifteen, then twenty, that's how you get in the playoffs, and work toward where you want to be seeded. For now, it's game 47.

"It’s one of those games where we forged a little bit of an identity… We stayed to it, we didn’t deviate. We talk about being a really good team and not just a group of players." #Isles pic.twitter.com/3O3BQnIFTc

#NYI #isles They played a rested team at home on a two day break, and held them to under 20 shots with Greiss in goal. Everyone should be proud of this team. Give it up for Barry Trotz, the staff, and the players, that's the Clutterbuck we need. Heck of a win.

#NYI #isles One thing about Barry Trotz, he loves talking hockey, nine minutes last night/another 9 minutes today at practice. @NYIslanders doing a great job making sure we get complete press conferences every time he speaks.

They did allow 22 shots in 2nd, but 5-1 against top team in NHL, that was 18-1-1 coming here, very nice win.

#NYI #isles Interesting stuff from Kevin Weekes, NYI are only NHL team to do this. Had post-game meal at Chase Garden after Thursday win & Lamoriello there to check every detail down to how food was cooked. Would have thought they took bus back to Northwell immediately.

The part about being ready in a year or two was a little sobering considering where they are in the standings.

Put me in the school of not being an analytics or metrics person, just more junk so more people can write anything to pad blogs or articles. Watched Blues pregame during day with Darren Pang & someone, they were ruffling through canned notes, reading off them slapping together notes on NYI. But these numbers below are noteworthy.
