Episode 187 - "A Butt-kicking Disguised at a Comeback" - Ethan Sears As the title suggests, the New York Islanders failed to hold their 3-0 lead in game two, losing any momentum from game one, and dropped 0-2 in their series with the Carolina Hurricanes. There's not a lot of hope in this week's episode, but we cover the first two games of the series and try to figure out some of the deeper problems on the Island. http://tinyurl.com/DKAMAZE - Draft Kings Promo code THPN Gambling problem?

The New York Islanders find themselves in the midst of another pause in their schedule due to COVID complications around the NHL. However, it could turn out to benefit a team filled with "older players," especially with some possibly returning to the lineup when play picks up again. The Isles took on the Buffalo Sabres and Edmonton Oilers in the last week and they looked a little bit like themselves again. Noah Dobson continues his torrid scoring pace evolving into the defenseman many imagined him to be, while Kieffer Bellows starts scoring liked many hoped he could. PLUS, what defines success for the Islanders in 2022? and listener Q&A.

The New York Islanders fall to the Detroit Red Wings in what was a pretty uninterested game by the Islanders. Is this the straw that breaks the camel's back? Are changes afoot, and if so, do they come from outside the organization, to within? Did Anthony Beauvillier respond to his benching? Did Oliver Wahlstrom get more minutes? Is Kieffer Bellows playing like an NHLer? Has the torch been passed by Semyon Varlamov to Ilya Sorokin? All this, and more, in episode 90.
