The first season since 2011-12 that will run on a normal schedule. There will be fewer exhausted teams playing backup goaltenders against the New York Islanders.
And of course our team will have more rest which means less five games in eight day stretches on the road where this team has been above par overall.
The best interviews are always in small town local papers, John Tavares made his thoughts clear on the team/himself.

It's not rocket science for Jack Capuano/coaches, the team gather's Thursday, by Sunday they get on a plane, then start playing games on Monday (twice) Wednesday, Friday.

Some players will stand out, others will not. Decisions will be made quickly. Some changes to accommodate roster limits must happen with players on one-way contracts.

Feel free to throw it back at me Dolan allowed a live telecast from Barclay's. Of course a partnership that shows one preseason game in about twenty years (and only one) to me is not something anyone should be thankful for.
Of course the television schedule by Msg reflects the truth.
#isles Prime Msg telecasts Devils 13, Islanders 2 (increased by one from last year) Devils 13+2 games, Rags 3 Msg2games, NYI 17+2 games partnership?

Let's see how many games Mike Bossy actually does, who replaced Ken Daneyko.Ok, now we start getting answers. My preference is we don't have those minor injuries that final week of camp that linger into January.
