Islanders Anxiety Art

Dan and special guest Carey Haber look back at the Islanders performance over a wild pre-All Star Break week and over the season so far.

They talk about what the team has done right and wrong over the first 49 games and where they need to better, and who’s up, who’s down and who’s out.

Later, they examine some surprising trade targets and remember an Islanders All Star that most of us seem to have forgotten was an Islanders All Star.

This one might sound a little weird. Or it could have just been my headphones.
