Islanders Anxiety - Episode 48 - It Led to Nothing

With the Islanders eight points out of the playoffs, Mike and Dan recount a season of frustration and take a dim look at the franchise’s future. They kick around ideas to fix the team that probably won’t happen and lament previous mistakes that have formed their negativity. But there’s still plenty of love for “beautiful Band-Aid” Mathew Barzal and a lot of gallows humor thrown in as well.
