Islanders Anxiety - Episode 63 - The Islanders Coaching Factory

Mike and Dan talk about the end of the Islanders’ winning streak and the beginning of their time as the world’s premier producer of hockey coaching talent.

They also discuss the team’s second annual alumni night, the emerging assertiveness of Josh Bailey, the recent play of AHLers Michael Dal Colle and Josh Ho-Sang, who “The Islanders of Canada” are and the differences between media coverage from Montreal and Toronto. Finally, they solve the mystery of how John Tavares will be received when he returns to face the Islanders on Long Island (without even charging listeners a subscription fee).
