Islanders Anxiety - Episode 326 - And That Just Went In

Mike and Dan don't know how to feel about the Islanders taking three points from last year's Stanley Cup finalists in this very weird season. In playing Edmonton tough before losing in overtime and beating the Cup champion Panthers, the Islanders showed a level of grit and skill they could have used in November instead of in March where they're still a longshot to make the playoffs. Performances by Noah Dobson, Pierre Engvall and Max Tsyplakov remind us of just how unreliable some players can be when they're counted on the most. But the games were enjoyable in the moment, especially if you flew from Poland to watch one. In the second half, they look ahead towards some games that could (once again) get them closer to the playoffs (but probably won't) and welcome back old favorite, Master Leaf Theatre. This time, the Leafs writers are distraught over bad coaching, losing a large locker room voice and possibly Mitch Marner. At least one shirtless guy is having fun (as are we).
