\n The Islanders have strayed from reflecting on the success they\u2019ve had this postseason, but with the one-day turnaround to Game<\/a> 1 of the Eastern Conference finals on Monday, they don\u2019t have the time to reminisce even if they wanted to.<\/p>\n

After 43 days in the Toronto bubble, the Islanders began their 2,000-plus mile trek across Canada to Edmonton on Sunday morning just a few hours removed from their Game 7 victory over the Flyers to advance to their first conference finals in 27 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we started this, we said let\u2019s play one series<\/a> at a time and let\u2019s see if we can get to Edmonton and then we worry about things when we get to Edmonton,\u201d coach Barry Trotz said on a Zoom call Sunday before the team\u2019s flight. \u201cI think it\u2019ll be beneficial [to change the scenery]. Obviously the travel<\/a>, this will be a long travel day for us and a quick turnaround playing [Saturday] night and the emotions.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou usually have an emotional crash the next day and then you got to regroup and we\u2019re going to get at it [Monday].\u201d<\/p>\n

Team captain Anders Lee admitted that it was tough to get to sleep after the Isles\u2019 4-0 rout of the Flyers, but with the immedia<\/a>te turnaround, the team has had to quickly come down from the emotional high.<\/p>\n

Trotz and Lee both agreed that a change of scenery could be beneficial, with Lee recalling how refreshing it was to switch hotels in Toronto after advancing to the second round in mid-August.<\/p>\n

But the real challenge for the Islanders will be packing up their dominant play and bringing it with them. In the past, long layovers between series have been the bane of the Islanders\u2019 existence. The quick turnaround may just play into the Isles\u2019 favor.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, you can\u2019t control the schedule, you can\u2019t control how that all works and what gets laid out. You roll with it,\u201d Lee said. \u201cWe\u2019re going to get to Edmonton and rest up and be ready to go for [Monday].<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s positives to both sides, being able to rest up and be fresh. And at the same time, coming off a Game 7, you\u2019re kind of in that mode, that game-ready mode. You want to try and roll that into Game 1 for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

After sweeping the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round last year, the Islanders didn\u2019t see game action for 10 days. The Carolina Hurricanes then swept them in convincing fashion. The long layoff evidently worked against them, giving hope to the benefits that may come with jumping right back into play this postseason.<\/p>\n

The Lightning, who finished second in the Atlantic Division, have been waiting for the Islanders-Flyers series to wrap up since knocking the Boston Bruins out of the tournament Aug. 31. They\u2019ve had nearly a week off from game action and traveled to Edmonton on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Knowing how much tougher the competition is about to become, the Islanders are looking ahead and preparing for more adversity than they\u2019ve had to deal with this entire postseason.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll have to dig in,\u201d Trotz said. \u201cThis team has accepted everything that\u2019s been thrown at us, from scheduling to when we play to all that stuff. This is the new normal and we\u2019ll deal with it and hopefully we\u2019ll have a good game [Monday]. That\u2019s all we can ask. I know our guys give you everything every night, night in and night out.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
