How the New York Islanders Can Do Better

The Islanders are a team with a considerable history in the sport and, as such, they must start doing a lot better than 5th in the Metropolitan and 9th in the Eastern Conference, which is where they ended up last season (21/22 season). Its for this reason that the following article details how the islanders could become the team of the 22/23 season.

 

The Right Players

Without the right players, the Islanders will not be able to improve. Taking nothing away from the current crop of players, the management and scouting team needs to improve the team if they have a hope to make the playoffs. The consensus on all the fan forums is that,with the promotion of Lane lambert to coach, they will get more creative, and the team will need a few more attacking options to support him. The team was accused of being way too defensive last season, but the feeling is that all great teams are built on great defense and that,if they can now buy the right offensive players in the next transfer window, then they will have a great team.

 

The Dedication of Their Fans

Some diehard New Islander fans will travel to watch every single game and will only wager in favor of their team. Its fans such as these that the team’s success must be based on. Those who always have the Islanders down as winning on the day. The team needs to acknowledge this and ensure that the fans voices become more important in the overall growth and development of the team. These are the same fans that drove the Islanders to their last Eastern Conference final in the past. The fans don’t change, but the players and the style of play sure has. Attendance numbers may have dropped when the team wasn’t performing, but if the improvement in the game is realized, then the true die-hard Islander fans will still be there for the team, driving them to do better.

 

The Associated Activities and the Brand

The Islander brand has been growing all the time and is now recognized as one of the major brands in the NHL. The fan base is massive, and the following is as mentioned above,incredibly dedicated and, as such, this makes for a host of associated merchandising and product development around the brand and the team. The new UBS arena is expected to treble attendance throughout the season, and if you’re into hockey betting, you wouldn’t be wagering against the return to greatness of the Islanders. The brand is big enough and has a large enough supporter base to drive huge revenue generation and it is this that will allow the Islanders to do better on the field.

The Islanders are a big team, and it is expected that they will at least make the playoffs in the current season. A return to the top levels of NHL performances is expected, and for many of the players, this season may be the last opportunity to show their worth. The simple changes in philosophy as mentioned in this article are those things that will make the most difference to how the team plays and performs.
