New York Islanders Daily: Hoping To Find Consistency

What’s the biggest thing that’s plagued the New York Islanders this year? There could be a variety of answers to this question actually, depending on who you ask, but one of the biggest things that’s hurt this team is consistency.

Let’s give him some time and see how the team responds to him.
