Islanders Anxiety - Episode 323 - Not Dead Yet

4 weeks ago  /  Lighthouse Hockey

And now let’s go to the guys from Bar Down... It’s trade deadline week and after three more weird games in a weird season of a weird era, we still have no idea who the Islanders are or what they’ll do.
They started with a home ice faceplant against the Rangers - predicted by Mike - before stealing two points in Boston. Then they beat the Predators - predicted by Dan - which started as a laugher and became oddly tense. The main character in all of them was Ilya Sorokin, who went from being the goat on Tuesday to being an unlikely goalscorer on Saturday, and continues to be an occasionally flaky, mysterious dude who can also be one of the best goalies in the NHL.
In the second half, we look towards the next two games, which might be the true final contests of the Islanders’ regular season. It all depends on how they handle the trade deadline, which at this point is anyone’s guess. They could have a completely different roster when they play in San Jose next Saturday, or be exactly the same after sitting the deadline out and keeping everyone.
It’s a strange spot to be in - and totally inline with how this version of the Islanders conducts its business. At least we know what the professional liars will say either way. That’s all we’ve got.
