Waiting is the hardest part for red-hot Isles
Team in holding pattern following historic first-round sweep
The New York Islanders still don’t know whether they will open their second-round playoff series here in Downtown Brooklyn or in our nation’s capital.
And they might not find out for at least another week.
That’s the reward, or potential burden, for Islanders team president and general manager Lou Lamoriello’s team following a startling turnaround season that saw New York amass 103 points before an even more shocking first-round sweep of Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins.
