It's time to get a handle on why a team that rose as high as fifteen games over .500 that I was negative about since camp, finally fell apart at a time, all they had to do was play ten/twelve games in a building they claimed was home. At a time even I felt they survived this way for almost the entire season, what's two more weeks with no travel?
#NYC #NYI #isles New York played 36 games scoring two goals or fewer + 5 games where they were credited with a third goal in a skills competition. So that's 41 times or 1/2 entire season they scored two goals. And somehow they got to fifteen over .500

#NYC #NYI #isles For the awful powerplay numbers they improved from 26 to 40 goals in 2025-26.

2024-25 Total 5/5 goals 189 (not including ENG)
2025-26 Total 5/5 goals 184 (not including ENG)
So at 5/5 they scored less goals.
They scored 9 shorthanded goals both years, in 2024-25 they allowed on less shorthanded goal.
