Islanders System Is Flawed, Return Of DiPietro Won’t Help Much

from Greg Logan of On the Islanders Beat,
(Joey) MacDonald went on to say the Islanders hung backup Yann Danis out to dry in the second period, when they added four more goals on backdoor plays and open shots from the slot. Standing up for his replacement showed MacDonald’s heart is in the right place.
If anyone believes the eventual return of a healthy starting goaltender Rick DiPietro will magically make it all better, they are mistaken. DiPietro might make a few more of the big saves, but he’s not going to enjoy facing the kind of onslaughts MacDonald has seen on a nightly basis recently....
It appears the system is deeply flawed, at least the way the Islanders play it, as DiPietro is destined to discover soon enough.
