Islanders Anxiety - The Monster's Still Out There
Listen now
Description
Despite the end of their six game winning streak and some scary games ahead, Mike and Dan remain hopeful about the Islanders' playoff chances (and the Penguins' demise). Massive wins over St. Louis, San Jose and Anaheim put the Islanders back into the wild card chase, took a big chunk off their goal differential and made fans rethink what we knew about this team. The killer instinct seems to be back, and Patrick Roy has the entire team playing its best hockey in years. Games against the Sabres, Senators and Rangers will need to be taken seriously. But getting points in them would make everyone feel at ease. They also look at how the Penguins' fall has been covered, some "former Future Islanders" they're better off without and a new musical endeavor by a favorite Weird Islander of theirs.
