It's one game so I won't read too much into it, they need to play way more games to see if they have turned it around. The first minute where they couldn't do anything worse made me a little nervous. The usual suspect on defense doing his thing watching a guy score. But after that, they looked like a real NHL hockey team.
The Islanders have a big, good defense, with good goalie. They usually play hard, they play defensive and they look for other teams to make mistakes to score. Their first goal was exactly that. But the Oilers didn't fall into the trap. They didn't force things, they limited their mistakes. They got saves when needed and when given opportunities, their skill capitalized. For the most part, they played good hockey and they won. Was it run and gun, super exciting? Not for the first few periods. There is more than enough talent on this team that if they play properly, they will win a lot of games.

You’re describing the team I thought we needed to become to have any chance in the playoffs. I hope it holds up.
