Mike and Dan vent about the Islanders losing streak and goal drought, while also examining the Andy Greene trade and the upcoming deadline.
They focus on a frustrating loss to the Coyotes which followed two galling defeats in Nashville and Vegas, discuss Greene’s solid debut and worry about the team’s lack of depth. Later, they look ahead to the trade deadline, wonder about who the Islanders could or couldn’t get and hope that changes are made.
Along the way they cover needless icings, sixth line players, expansion Islanders and Mike’s dream in which the Islanders send him to pick up an All Star they just traded for.

- “So he goes, ‘Fury is here.’ I just said, ‘Yeah, that’s true. All right, we’ll do it.’” Oh you guys...
- Andy Greene is here now. Weird.
- He really did have a good first game as an Islander.
- But they’re gonna need more than him.
When the Penguins had zero third and fourth line depth between 2010-2015 they could barely get out of the first round with Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin in the top-six. Even the very best guys can't carry a team every single game. They're all gonna go cold at some point.
