New York Islanders are on a 17 game point streak (now ended by ANA)

The Flyers gave them the last game.

Nah... Islanders took it. Flyers were outplayed for most of the game and all of the third, which was a pleasure to watch,

It's nice reading such great things about Barry. He deserves the respect.

Respect isn't earned in November.

Sometimes, respect isn't earned in 52 years....

2. I really didn't want to spew this theory last year because I don't want to knock people not in the NHL(but I guess enough time passed that it won't be so controversial to say it), my guess is his wife played a big role in his choice

After Gretzky left Edmonton I don't think it's controversial at all to say "happy wife, happy life"...

1. I don't think NHL players put much stock into the 11th and 12th picks in the draft, maybe the first 1 or 2 picks.

Back in that fateful summer of 2018, I was convinced that Pajama Boy was loyal to the core and would stay with the Isles.

Meanwhile, my wife who is a casual hockey fan at best didn't give it a second thought once I told her that his fiancé (now wife) was from Ontario. She said there was no doubt he was gone.

Guess I should listen to my wife more...maybe.

15 games!!!

Unreal

Honestly, Other then maybe Tampa, pretty much every team they have faced have been bubble teams and non playoff teams during this stretch. But it’s still impressive. I’m hoping they go at least 20.

14-0-1

Great teams are the one's that win those games. Its not like they played Ottawa 15 times. They played Pittsburgh, florida. St Louis tampa

*15 games tying franchise record.

Garth Snow built one hell of a team!

 

[QuadDeuces]

This one doesn't count. Pens didn't have Crosby. Am I doing it right?

 

[RMimagery]

Unreal.

The last 2 wins, being down multiple goals with minutes remaining (on the road, to those above) were just so sweet.

Beauvilier is playing out of his mind. Team never quits and are such a pain in the ass to play against.

Islanders are 14-0-1 on this streak. The one loss? They were winning 3-0 in the third period.

Crosby was also missing in last years Islander sweep, Am I right!!

15 games, only 4 against teams currently not in playoff position. And one of those was Toronto, who I'm told is unbeatable.

Florida, STL, Arizona, Winnipeg, Pitt.. all top 10 in the league.

 

[Reggiet2]

Isles have a lot of underrated grit and skill, great combination to have! The defense is also greatly underrated, good size speed and skill!

It counts because Isles played without Barzal in last half of the game.

(he was benched)

You’re making this up. Look at their opponents and looks at the standings.

 

[Reggiet2]

Also, if you want to play a tough game they throw out Matt Martin & Ross the Boss!

Question: Does the parade run West to East on 24.... or East to West?

 

[ABCUser]

WTH, I just got done saying, well that's what Beauvillier gets for trying to outskate Malkin and then BAMM, Hey Malkin, Who's you're Daddy/ Biooottttch!!
