Mike and Dan discuss recent games against the Lightning and Bruins and all of the ways the Islanders are driving bookies and bettors crazy this season.
They also examine possible (and deserved) lineup changes and why the team has responded to Barry Trotz so quickly. Finally, they hit on some pre-deadline deals from around the NHL, lament how many people write about the Maple Leafs for The Athletic and a ponder a politician’s plea for playoff games at Nassau Coliseum. Special appearance by Jimmy the Dog.
