It's been about a month since Brett and Jon spoke, and a lot has changed. A winning streak has come and gone, injuries keep piling up as soon as someone returns to the lineup, and the New York Islanders are even sniffing a wild card spot. They have a tough schedule coming up, so it really comes down to this as the trade deadline looms.

All that and more in this week's episode.

Brett returns to the show to discuss the last week in New York Islanders hockey, which felt like a wash despite trending upwards. There was finally more good than bad, but there's still a lot of work for the Islanders to do before our confidence returns.

All that and more in this week's episode.

James' return to the podcast was familiar; we immediately found our groove, but it may have been because the New York Islanders haven't changed their ways since we last spoke in April. We covered everything from Isaiah George's rise to top Isles defenseman, Noah Dobson's fall from grace, more blown leads, and James takes us completely off the rails by talking about a particular free agent that shall not be named.

In his second appearance in as many weeks, Brett and Jon cover the last week in New York Islanders hockey. Has Brett's positivity disappeared? Can the Islanders bounce back after losing so many key players to injury? Are we at a breaking point? It gets late early when you rack up wins at the start of a season. We discuss if the Islanders can bounce back and what's next.

All that and more in this week's episode.

This week, Brett returns to have a conversation we've all had over the last three seasons. We try to find a glimmer of hope in a season that the New York Islanders have set to repeat, but it remains to be seen if it's all for naught.

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.

This week, Dan Saraceni of Islanders Anxiety returns to the show in James' absence to cover the last week of Islanders' hockey, and dive into the New York Islanders clinching a playoff spot. There was a lot to unpack and even more mixed feelings as they head into a series with the Carolina Hurricanes in a rematch of last year's first round.

All that and more - including a long intro to get us started - in this week's episode.

James and Jon get behind their mics for the New York Islanders' last stand, recording during the Isles game against the Flyers. They discuss the week's games prior to their matchup with the Philadelphia Flyers and watch the Islanders grab a crucial two points in the most Islander way possible. It wasn't ideal, and the out-of-town scoreboard didn't swing in their favor, but it kept them in the hunt... for now.

The New York Islanders effectively ended their 2023-24 season after losing 7 of 8 over the last two weeks, with the final nail in the coffin being a 4-0 loss to the New Jersey Devils. The Islanders' embarrassment knew no bounds, and now we're left trying to figure out where this team goes from here. They need to find a new identity before next season, which may also mean the departure of even more long-time Islanders.

James and Jon return after an unexpected break to conclude that the New York Islanders are approaching a dead end. It's been difficult to watch this team tank themselves despite being good most of the time, and the next week could spell the end of the season with 25% of it left to go.

The guys cover the stadium series game, more letdowns, the trade deadline, a continued lack of focus, and much more.

Patrick Roy's first four games are in the books, and the New York Islanders appear to have a bit more jump. They haven't seen the results just yet, but it seems momentum is building.

James and Jon discussed the good and bad of Roy's start with the Islanders, the Islanders' Alumni Game, the team's struggling goalies (and how they compare to the rest of the league's top goalies), possible lineup changes, their return following the NH...
