Bio

I've been living and working in Spain for just over 3 years now. I enjoy to ski, wake board, play cricket and I have an unhealthy passion for football, and unfortunately Manchester United. I enjoy reading, learning and writing about almost all sports, as well as taking a keen interest in international politics. I studied Education and used to be a teacher, before studying a Masters in Comms and Marketing and moving away from the classroom. I left England when I was 22 and have since lived in numerous countries; namely Nicaragua, Peru, Argentina and Vietnam. Vegetarian. I like dogs and discovering new music.

Potential NHL Playoff Adjustments Due To The US-Canada Border

2021/05/04

With an average of around 6 games to go for the remainder of the 2021 NHL season, many are wondering who will clinch the final spots…

This is the question many hockey fans, namely Islanders fans have been asking of late. As we move towards the postseason, it looks like the Islanders are going to secure themselves a spot in the NHL Playoffs. But, do they have what it takes to clinch the title? At Stanley Cup Futures odds of 17.00 across a variety of major online sportsbooks, they are certainly seen as a long shot. But, with the format changing this year, teams that would normally be unable to play one another due to Conference restrictions, there is certainly an opportunity for other teams to make a push for the Stanley Cup finals. What are their chances? The Islanders finished 5th last season, losing out to the reigning Stanley Cup holders the Tampa Bay Lightning. They have performed well during the Regular Season this year, but haven’t looked a level above the rest, unlike the Avalanche, Knights, Leafs, and the Lightning. One thing to note from performances this year is that the Islanders don’t have a consistent goal scorer—it seems that with every game comes a new goalscorer. This lack of consistency will hurt them in the postseason, as they need to have reliable players who can put up the numbers game after game. Nonetheless, the Islanders are scoring and currently sit 3rd in a stacked East Division. They boast a strong roster, with Jean-Gabriel Pageau, Mat Barzal, Jordan Eberle, and Brock Nelson all putting up numbers in 2021. But, the game isn’t just about offensive scoring. The Islanders need to improve in defence if they are to compete with the leagues’ best. Barry Trotz runs a tight ship, with a very regimented defensive setup that can be difficult to adapt to, especially for new players coming into the team. This isn’t ideal for the team in general, especially when there are adjustments to be made so late in the regular season. However, Kyle Palmieri and Travis Zajac have done a great job. The pair read the game well and are quick at shutting down potential problems, which will be pivotal during an intense playoff series against the very best in the league. With the Playoffs getting underway in May, there is little time left to make any major adjustments.
