Trotz wants Islanders to follow Caps’ lead
Receives Stanley Cup ring prior to 4-1 loss against former squad
Barry Trotz believes the New York Islanders have a Stanley Cup in their future.
But for now, his new team is still more than a little bit behind the development of the franchise he led to its first-ever title a season ago.
“That’s what champions do. They find ways to get it done. And we will get there,” the Islanders’ first-year head coach insisted in the aftermath of a 4-1 loss to the reigning Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals Monday night in front of 9,072 at the Barclays Center.
