‘Awful’ Isles hold on for point vs. Habs
Squander two-goal lead but retain first place in Metropolitan
Barry Trotz expects more from his first-place team.
“We were awful,” the New York Islanders’ head coach stated matter-of-factly following Monday night’s 4-3 shootout loss to the visiting Montreal Canadiens in front of 9,402 fans at Downtown’s Barclays Center.
“The right team won tonight,” Trotz added. “That was our worst game of the year… We felt like we gave up a point.”
