Simply out classed! All the wishing in the world doesn’t make it so. Came to the conclusion Dobson is simply too soft physically and Mentally. Always loved the kid, but where is the development in the weight room, he just is not strong which would improve his confidence. Just about everyone improved with the exception of Canes in the conference. Conclusion that game was 6-0 or 8-0 without Varley
If the Islanders want to prove they are a different team this road trip will be the litmus test. At some point you get your shit together or it becomes apparent you are what you are. Sweep this road trip against good opponents and play tight defense we have something real. After that opener when they displayed every negative trait that has haunted them for the last three years. With this super competitive metro and conference, a bad start will be tough to recover from. Maybe they either don’t have the talent or the intestinal fortitude to reach Patty’s Championship level.
Dobson Mayfield Reilly and a shaky Peleck means we be are playing with two NHL quality D-men Pulock and Romanov.

Walhstrom should be wavied. Engvall Foudy deserve the spot.
