Former New York Islanders<\/u><\/a> captain Mark Streit has high expectations for his former team after it began its 2023 campaign with a win at home over the Buffalo Sabres.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But the one-time Stanley Cup champion cautioned that, in the NHL, anything is possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Streit, who played four seasons with the Islanders and became the first Swiss-born team captain in league history, spoke to Fox News Digital recently about his expectations for the Islanders after a disappointing first-round exit from the Stanley Cup Playoffs<\/u><\/a> last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“To be honest, the east, especially the [Metropolitan] division, it’s strong. There’s a lot of good teams,” Streit said.<\/p>\n

FORMER ISLANDERS CAPTAIN, STANLEY CUP CHAMP DISHES ON LIFE AFTER HOCKEY, NEW BUSINESS VENTURE<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“It’s just having a good start. You know, so many seasons, I was on teams where the start wasn’t that great, and you just try to catch up throughout the year. And that’s usually really tough. So, it’s a very tough division the Islanders are in, but they have a really good team.”<\/p>\n

The Islanders have made playoff appearances in four of the last five seasons. In the 2020-2021 season, which was shortened by the COVID-19 pandemic, they lost to the Montreal Canadiens<\/u><\/a> in the Stanley Cup semifinals. The previous year, they lost to the eventual Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning in the Eastern Conference finals. <\/p>\n

“It’s tough to predict,” Streit said of the Islanders’ chances of hoisting the Cup this season.<\/p>\n

“Last year, they didn’t have the year they wanted to. But sometimes you think you’re far away, but you’re not. I think it’s just letting the people work, be a little bit patient and build. You have to. I mean, a Stanley Cup champion is not built overnight, and you have to do that over the years.”<\/p>\n

Streit said he believes the “strong base” Islanders President and General Manager Lou Lamoriello has built will propel the team forward.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It’s a different league than when I played. It’s faster, it’s quicker, it’s more skilled, and it’s a lot younger,” Streit said. “That’s why I think the Islanders are doing well because they have the [Matthew] Barzals \u2014 they’re a little bit older, they have more experience \u2014 you still have the Anders Lees, the Matt Martins, the [Cal] Clutterbucks that have the experience from former years. And you have that really good mix.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“That’s what I like about the team. They have a really good mix about the experience and young hungry guys that don’t overthink things. They go out and play. And I think you need that. You need to have that balance.”<\/p>\n

If 12 years in the NHL<\/u><\/a> taught Streit anything, it’s that regular-season records mean nothing once the playoffs begin.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The most important thing is getting into the playoffs. After that, you know anything can happen,” Streit said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I think we saw that last year with the Boston Bruins<\/u><\/a>. They had a great year, and the Florida Panthers \u2014 they [were] just one of those [teams] that got hot at the right time. And they almost won the Stanley Cup. And they were on this crazy run. And I think that the Islanders, they have definitely the players, the team and the management to do the same thing. But, you know, so [do] a lot of other teams in the league.”<\/p>\n

Streit, 45, retired from the NHL in 2017 after winning a Stanley Cup with the Pittsburgh Penguins.<\/u><\/a> During his career, he also played with the Montreal Canadiens and became one of the top two-way defenseman in the league.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
