Mike and Dan discuss the highs and lows of the Islanders’ trip through the three California NHL teams, the areas the team needs to improve on and maybe looking at a couple of players differently after a few games.

Later, they ponder the complex legacy and lasting impact of Charles Wang, the former Islanders majority owner who passed away on October 21st, 2018.

At some point during the second half, I mention the “Lighthouse Hockey” when I obviously mean the Lighthouse Project. Like Charles Wang, my loyalty to my home cannot be questioned.
