''It's still really hard to decompress,'' captain John Tavares said Tuesday at the team's practice facility. ''Still a lot of thoughts replaying over, obviously the series and how it went. (I) could have been Adrian Beltre Jerseya lot better and the team as well.''
The Islanders just completed a successful first season in Brooklyn's Barclays Center after spending the franchise's first 43 years at Long Island's Nassau Coliseum.
They earned a playoff berth for the http://www.officialmlbrangersshop.com/authentic-45-derek-holland-jersey.htmlsecond straight year, and third in the past four, reaching the 100-point mark in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1982.
The team dealt with the adjustments to the new arena, including a new routine at the start of the season that saw them commuting from Long Island, where they continue to live and practice, to Brooklyn for game-day morning practices and spending the http://www.officialmlbrangersshop.com/authentic-1-elvis-andrus-jersey.htmlafternoon in hotel rooms.
That routine was changed midseason at the players' request and they returned to holding the game-day skates at their facility in Syosset.
The Islanders settled in and overcame injuries down the stretch to Brett Cecil Jerseyget in the playoffs, and then won a postseason series for the first time since 1993 before losing to Tampa Bay in five games in the second round.
''Lot of strides, lot of growth, a lot of ups and downs throughout the season,'' Tavares said. ''Another 100 point season. We took a lot of pride in achieving that again, doing that in back-to-back years. http://www.officialbluejaysstore.com/authentic-13-brett-lawrie-jersey.htmlThe first-round series win was a really good feeling. It was big for a lot of us, but just didn't reach the ultimate goal.''
Forward Kyle Okposo added: ''It feels like every year It's been a step. ... It's frustrating we couldn't have taken two steps instead of one in some of these years just so we could've had a chance to win a Cup.''
Players were at the Iceworks Syosset practice facility, cleaning out their lockers, holding individual meetings with the coaching staff and meeting with media for the final time before dispersing for the summer.
When the Islanders return for training camp in the fall, the franchise will have undergone some changes. Just how deep remains to be seen.
