Trotz setting tone early with Islanders
New head coach stresses ‘the details’ in first week of camp
The New York Islanders gave up the most shots (35.6 per game) and goals (293) in the league on their way to missing the playoffs for a second straight season in 2017-18.
New Islanders head coach Barry Trotz, fresh off leading the Capitals to their first-ever Stanley Cup title last year, isn’t used to anything resembling the Isles’ sieve-like defense.
And he doesn’t plan on becoming acclimated with it this season.
