Islanders Anxiety - Episode 228 - Playing the Hits
What would I be doing right now if I just quit the Islanders? Mike and Dan recap the Islanders’ week of tough losses and an underwhelming win, as the team still struggles with the same issues.
They look at a shootout loss to Dallas in which the Islanders played well against a good opponent and its follow-up, a depressing self-inflicted loss to Minnesota that left both hosts overcome with anger. A win against Montreal snapped the losing streak, but the Islanders hardly dominated what should have been an easy opponent. While fans watch the out-of-town scoreboard, the Islanders continue to search for an identity and a formula for winning consistently.
In the second half, they look towards a daunting and important upcoming schedule, talk about what they want to see in media coverage of their team and criticize the way the Islanders have handled their 50th anniversary celebration.
