We knew this was coming but now it actually happened: New York Islanders forward Anthony Duclair cut his hair and facial hair in anticipation of training camp. The good news is this means camp is rapidly approaching. But is Lou Lamoriello’s no long hair and no facial hair rule good or bad for the team? We discuss that on today’s show.
The Isles were rumored to be interested in Rutger McGroarty a top prospect of the Winnipeg Jets who demanded a trade. Well, he’s now a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Isles may see more of McGroarty than they’d like. We discuss why it was difficult or nearly impossible for the Isles to acquire him.
And we discuss the importance of the upcoming season for Kyle MacLean as he starts his first full NHL season.
All this and more on today’s Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.

A lot to do about nothing. Duclair most likely posted it as a joke, not realizing the social media stupidity. He could have went to any number of teams and possibly for more money. He chose to be an Islander. Like Kyle Palmeri, Bo Horvat, JG that meant conforming to the grooming standards of your employer. I never hear players on the Islanders complain about Lou’s Rules, I guess they buy into the professionalism they foster. Lou takes a hell of a lot of crap and criticism. He is the best GM since Bill Torrey. I think he is also doing a great job mentoring Patrick for GM/Coach positions. You’re talking two Hall of Fame guys. If Islanders breakout this year he will be praised a an Old School Master. You join an organization you follow grooming and dress standards, it’s called a job. The Liberal police are looking for a story here there isn’t any. They know nothing about hockey, but that’s just their norm about any subject.
Will it turn duclair into the 35-40 goal scorer isles need? Louzer needs to focus on putting together a roster that can compete in 21st century nhl and read up on proper cap management instead of worrying about nonsense like that. Louzer is so old school who worries about hair length as east teams make moves. Pens got in on it today getting mcgroarty from jets for jager. Isles simple couldn't offer that as jets wanted = value in a first. Unless eiserman goes d. nelson wouldn't have done it and an elc would be tuff to get under cap for louzer as it stands now. Isles are gonna be so fkd one day thanks to old school fool. Probably gonna shock some people how bad its going to get as louzer watches a lot of laine and mcgroarty light it up this season.
