Isles Still A Work In Progress After 1-2 Stretch Against Top Teams
Posted by TheHockeyGuy on November 30th, 2009
Scott Gordon said the Islanders’ three-game stretch against the Flyers, Penguins and Devils would show his young team where it was.
“It gives you a pretty good idea where you stand against better competition,” the coach said yesterday morning.
The verdict: While the Isles are improved, they are very much a work in progress.
That was clear during the final two periods of yesterday’s 6-1 loss in Newark. The Devils battered hard-luck goalie Martin Biron with 42 shots one day after the Islanders (10-10-7) limited the Penguins to 21 shots.
The latter part of the defeat resembled the Isles’ loss to the Flyers on Wednesday, when they generated just one shot in a dismal third period.
“Philly was a completely different animal,” Gordon said. “It didn’t matter what we did in the third period [yesterday] because it was the same thing we did in the second.”
