Visually, the Islanders looked crisp wearing their game jerseys rather than practice sweaters. Barry Trotz couldn't say as much for the on-ice performance.
"I didn't like a lot of the stuff today," the coach said after Sunday's scrimmage at Northwell Health Ice Center in East Meadow. "Overall, I wouldn't say I was happy with the whole group. There were portions I was happy with."
So ends the first week of the Islanders' Training Camp 2.0 as they prepare to restart their season with a best-of-5 qualifying series against the Panthers in Toronto beginning on Aug. 1. The Islanders depart for their quarantined arena/hotel bubble July 26.
