2021-22 New York Islanders Season Preview



I won’t underestimate the Isles again. With their system and unique playing style, they should stay in the mix near the top of the division.

  1. This current roster has NO offense, This team will not finish in 2nd place. This team is very OLD, Thanks to Lou and Barry….

  2. If palmieri returns and plays how he did in the playoffs, all of eberles production is basically made up for. Palms or wahlstrom will move up to take his place and lee takes komorovs spot. And if the rumors of parise are true, than he replaces zajac on the 3rd. Isles could be better than last year.

  3. Starting the season with 13 road games just seems like such weird scheduling. Is there a particular reason for that? I wouldn't be happy if I were the Islanders.

  4. As someone who doesn’t like the bruins or the Islanders. If your a person who approves of the “perfection line” but not the “identity line” your an ass

  5. The Exits/New Face(s) ratio doesn't look very favorable for NYI. Maybe even very bad at the moment…

  6. Heard a rumour that Aatu can't play this season because he wasn't a first round pick, therefore he still has to answer to his home team. He will still be attending training camp though. I could be wrong on this though

  7. The Islanders style of play has not changed since. Al. Arbour.(my favorite all time coach) Sure they don't have the prolific Hall of fame scorers that won four straight. Stanley. Cups…but. Barry. Trotz(my 2nd favorite all time coach).coaches extremely similar style as the great. Al. Arbour.(way ahead of his time) It's playoff hockey , winning hockey and if you notice it has become more than somewhat of a blue print that many teams(4 lines…scoring checking etc.)have adopted Great analogy of early extended road trip and thank you for the cudos to my💖 beloved. Islanders. I truly believe , barring any shocking injuries .this is the year they take. Lord. Stanley's. Cup… Let's. Go. Islanders 🗽

  8. Palmieri replaces Eberle, which gives the Isles Palmieri, Bailey and Wahlstrom down the right side, which is very good. Eberle never consistently found his confidence in the Trotz era, and looked uncomfortable playing first line minutes and matchups next to Barzal. The loss of Leddy is more concerning. He had his warts, but they have yet to replace him with anyone.

  9. I'm picking them to go 3rd in the Metro, Their gonna be good enough to make it into the playoffs no doubt, but they're gonna take it easy the way the 2019-2020 Lightning did and wait for the playoffs.

  10. They lose Eberle and Leddy. How are they better? The team can’t score enough and they lost a top winger and best offensive defenseman. It’s a fun to like but they needed to do more.

  11. Not having Lee clogging the lane really deflated the team last year. No disrespect to the Lightning, they're an incredible team, but having a solid net presence might have made all the difference in the playoffs. Hopefully he can stay healthy this year.

  12. Should make a Updated ( Part #2 ) to this Video with the rest of there Signings 🍷 Line 2 – Triple B’s & Line 3 – Triple P’s & Line 4 – identify line & Line 1 – Barzel + Waltz & Anders Lee = East finals again & …….. ✨🏆✨

  13. In Tampas two cup runs the only team to make them face elimination or at least get passed game 6 was the Islanders. They lost by one fluke short handed goal, that stings they're so close

  14. Tough sledding to start the season on a 13-game road trip. It appears they can still spend some time at home in between games as some of the trip is broken up into 3 or 4 day stretches with no games. With one of the best coaches in NHL history behind the bench, it's hard to believe the road trip will push the team off course. Anything can happen, especially in this sport, but this is a group poised to go far once again.

  15. You compiled this video before some acquisitions and signings. I’d love to hear your take on the year now! I totally agree that the 13 away games to start the year is key for this team. this team has no holes! I look for the Isles to continue to play that shut-down defense as always but look for an enhanced scoring capability this year. I think the Isles win the Stanley Cup this year and I’ve put my money where my mouth is!

  16. Surprise surprise! This team sucks and this season proved it. They relied on COVID to end their seasons prematurely. All these hilarious takes below me are even funnier now. Did you really think a team this unskilled would make the playoffs against other monster teams? Barzal, the supposedly elite center, who struggles to score 20 goals a season? Wahlstrom, the terrifying goal scorer that is as life-threatening as a paper cut? Nelson, who scores goals and then disappears? The Islanders have nothing. Dobson looks good. Raty? Unproven. lol It's okay Piles, you always have the golden years of 40 years ago.
