Islanders Anxiety - Episode 223 - Two Most Opposite Games
Why wouldn’t you want to be an Islanders fan? Well, let me tell you about these two back-to-back games. WARNING. CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE. Mike and Dan look at back-to-back games that couldn’t have been more different: an exciting win over the Devils and a frustrating shutout against the Hurricanes.
Against a fast team that had taken them to school earlier this season, the Islanders exerted their will against New Jersey and came out on top. One night later against a team they had previously handled, the Islanders were impotent against a rested Carolina team with a frustrating game plan. Through both games, their physicality played a big part; giving them confidence in one game and being missing in the other.
Along the way, they spotlight the play of Alex Romanov, Matt Martin, Hudson Fasching and players who were touted as the next big thing only to become simply... “guys.”
