Islanders Anxiety - Episode 300 - You’re Not Coming to Six Flags
Reese, it’s time to learn how to be an Islanders fan. Mike and Dan discuss the waiving of Pierre Engvall (and others) ahead of the Islanders’ season opener this week against the Utah Sister Wives.
Putting Engvall and the six years left on his contract on waivers was a bold move by Lou Lamoriello but it illustrates just how the team has changed and how Engvall’s signature brand of ineffectiveness can’t be tolerated any more. The guys who “beat him out” for the jobs aren’t on solid ground, either, but for now, they have the gig.
In the second half, they “preview” the game against the NHL’s most focused-group new team and the follow up game against Cup hopeful Dallas. Then we get into our Super Specific Predictions for the Islanders and the NHL, which speculates goal totals, articles written, contracts extended and more.
Finally, we allow a few minutes to discuss what hitting the 300 episode mark means. Thanks so much to everyone who listens and reaches out to us to thanks to this goofball team. We’ve fostered this very healthy, creative space and we could not be more proud, satisfied and happy. Here’s to 300 more (and Reese Witherspoon, please contact us!).

Agree with this:
not to lose sight of lou giving a 7 year deal to engvall but there is something to say here for lou cutting his losses and putting engvall on waivers rather than let this drag out. two years or seven years, its still better process to acknowledge the sunk cost than drag it out— Ryan (@rattmartin) October 6, 2024
Matt Martin officially joins the Islanders Shadow Team:
Lou says #Isles will not be offering Matt Martin a contract at this time. He can stay on his PTO and it seems both team and Martin are OK with that arrangement for now.— Andrew Gross (@AGrossNewsday) October 6, 2024
