    Islanders Anxiety - Episode 314 - I Can't Dispute Your Doubt
    Jan 13 2025
    The Islanders have finally won three (3!) in a row including impressive victories in Vegas and Utah and Mike and Dan feel satisfied and relieved in a way they haven't all season. An unexpected shutout against the Golden Knights gave way to a gritty win against Utah that could have been "one of those games," were it not for a dogged effort to get the points. Both wins were call backs to more successful times and whether it was Lou Lamoriello's impromptu vote of confidence, healthy players returning to full form or the magic powers of a rubber chicken (?), the Islanders looked and played better than they have in a while. In the second half, we examine the season-long seven game homestand they have coming up that can really vault them back into the playoff picture, as long as they continue to stack wins. We also debut a new PBS-like feature which surely will interest fans of whodunits, detectives or overwritten articles about uninteresting teams from the Midwest - The Michael Russo Mysteries.

    Weird Islanders: The Podcast! - Episode 59 - Brett Lindros (with guest Colin Stephenson)
    Jan 10 2025
    Dan chats with current Rangers and former Islanders beatwriter Colin Stephenson about Brett Lindros, who was expected to be a star but was forced to retire far too soon due to concussions. Following in the footsteps of his brother Eric, who was already a force in the NHL, Brett was a charming, well-spoken boy in a man's body when the Islanders selected him in the first round of the 1994 draft. With a lockout and disastrous previous season draining the customer base, the team put Lindros on the ice immediately, where he was a willing fight combatant but not much of a scorer. By Year Two, a series of head injuries became too much for him to bear, and at the age of just 20, he had to leave the game and the team that had hoped he would lead their next generation. Colin talks about covering this "eventful" Islanders era and about his dealings with Lindros before the "shattered dream" of his career had to be ended. The Islanders made a lot of mistakes back then, mostly off the ice, and a kid with a lot of promise paid the price for them. Subscribe to our Patreon!

    Islanders Anxiety - Episode 313 - Agitated
    Jan 7 2025
    Mike and Dan look back at an exciting overtime win over the Bruins that left them feeling more upset than joyous thanks to the sluggish season the Islanders have had. Following two losses to the Maple Leafs that straddled the new year, neither was looking forward to Sunday's game in Boston. But the Islanders took a lead, blew it, and then won on Bo Horvat's OT breakaway. In a vacuum, the game was an enjoyable back-and-forth affair. But in a season this deflating, it's very difficult to get fully inflated. And with two games out West in Vegas and Utah before a long homestand, the Islanders have the chance to do something they have not in quite a while: take care of business. Too bad we expect them to call in sick. We also discuss the dire state of NHL media in the year 2025, where a simple nightly recap show would be a blessing and getting straightforward information about league goings on feels damn near impossible to find.
