Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Islanders Country 🍀
There’s an old line in sports — one that usually gets tossed around this time of year with a wink and a shrug: it’s better to be lucky than good.
And on St. Patrick’s Day, it feels especially appropriate.
Because if you’ve watched the Islanders this season, you know there have been moments when a little puck luck seemed to follow them around the ice. Strange, wonderful nights where things that usually go wrong somehow go right. You don’t go 10–0 in overtime without a little luck riding shotgun.
But luck only takes you so far in the NHL. Eventually, the calendar tightens, the standings compress, and every team around you starts playing like the season depends on it — because it does.
That’s where the Islanders find themselves now.
