Islanders Anxiety - Episode 81 - Square Pegs in Round Holes

Mike and Dan pick at the corpse of a blowout loss to the Bruins and fret about the Islanders’ injury-marred road ahead.

They hope for more games like the encouraging efforts against Detroit and Montreal, but ponder the team’s moves to offset a couple of injuries to important players. Later, they talk about forgotten Islanders and forgotten Islanders draft picks, and offer which fantastical fictional limbo fits the Islanders best.
