Islanders News: Thomas Greiss is calmer than you are

The Islanders got to recharge some yesterday, and as the rest set in and the fuel tank restored they no doubt had that hindsight moment of "Really? We couldn't even pot one shootout goal against Toronto?" thoughts. So it goes. Life is winding, the 82-game season is long.
