I know we don't like praise, rather we revel in disrespect. But here is what Kruger said about the Isles before game 2.
"They're a few years into a very consistent program where they have a group that is a hundred percent bought into what they do and they are as automated and as much of a machine in a positive way as any team in the National Hockey League right now," Krueger said.
"I respect the game that they're playing. It's a very high level of execution with minimal errors or mistakes. They give you almost nothing on a consistent basis and play extremely patient."
The Islanders will be bolstered by the addition of forward Anthony Beauvillier, who returns from a nine-game absence caused by a lower-body injury. Beauvillier had a career-high 39 points in 68 games last season.
