#NYC #NYI #Isles In 2021-22 the first year at the failed Belmont experiment, NY finished 37-35-10 (84 points) as 9th seed but by December were 10-20 points behind 8th seed. Caps finished as the eight seed with 100 points eighteen games over 500. That was a normal NHL playoff race

#NYC #NYI #isles This year the 7th, 8th seeds + Devils would trail by Lane Lambert/Patrick Roy's playoff teams.

They would lose out to Doug Weight's 2016-17 team that missed the playoffs with 94 points/12 over.
#NYC #NYI #isles My point is being far worse then past mediocre playoff teams does not hide the problems with this roster simply for being in a race. They could still qualify but they are a bad team with far too many weaknesses.

#NYC #NYI #isles They cut the shots against by over a hundred (it was 272) the games where they were outshot 22-3 have rarely happened. They stopped blowing leads like in the past, but the special teams have been even worse and the scoring is down with too many passengers.
