Islanders head into offseason stinging from playoff loss

Days after being ousted from the playoffs by the Carolina Hurricanes, Anders Lee and the New York Islanders are still dealing with the stinging disappointment.

"It's been a bummer of a few days, to be honest," the Islanders' captain said Monday at the team's practice facility in East Meadow, New York. "I think we're all just feeling it, feeling the loss and coming up short in the series. So we're all just processing it right now and trying to bring everything together internally and mentally."

The Islanders fell five points out of a wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference after a rough stretch in January in which they lost 10 of 11 games (1-7-3), putting their season in danger of spiraling out of the postseason picture for a second straight year after consecutive appearances in the semifinal round of the NHL playoffs.
