Mike and Dan are fired up and frustrated about the Islanders last few games, who to trust and who organized an office Christmas party before a game in February.
They seethe about them playing well in losses and poorly in wins, Sidney Crosby’s 1,000th game, North Division fixation and what to make of the Islanders’ difficult next month. Later, they cast an eye towards expensive wayward Sabre Jeff Skinner, recently-waived former hero Frans Nielsen and his era of Islanders hockey, and the sad summer of 2016 that still looms large over a number of NHL franchises.
And, hey: who turned off the power plays?

Isles begin the busiest 19-game stretch in their history this Thursday when they Boston. If played as scheduled, it will be 19 games in 33 days from 2/25 to 3/29 (no consecutive days off in streak). #Isles are scheduled to be off 3/30-3/31. At least for now.

- Jeff and Elliotte on turtlenecks, North Division hate and other stuff. Again, the lack of defense isn’t why people hate that division, guys. Take a look in the mirror.
