Islanders Anxiety - Episode 49 - I’m Just Sick of This Team

This season’s Islanders will go down as one of the most disappointing incarnations of the franchise’s latest era. So Mike and Dan remember some other rosters that were just as bad but, because of the circumstances, are more fondly remembered. They laugh about legendary fights, angry nurses, weird-ass goal songs and the days of little to no expectations, while lamenting this season’s lost opportunities.

Parental warning: We usually edit explicit words, but this episode is uncensored.
