Weird Islanders: The Podcast! - Episode 2 - Jay Pandolfo (with guest Kevin Schultz)

Entenmann’s, Adventureland and Jay Pandolfo. Doesn’t get anymore Long Island than that.

By Dan Saraceni and Michael J. Leboff
/ new

Mike and Dan discuss defensive forward Jay Pandolfo’s short but legendary stint as an Islander with former blogger and Vintage Ice Hockey founder Kevin Schultz.

The three look at how the veteran ended up with the Islanders late in his career, recap his one and only goal for a team other than the New Jersey Devils and learn about maybe the saddest Twitter parody account of all time. And, of course, no Jay Pandolfo discussion would be complete without a look at his linemate Nino Niederreiter, who endured one of the singularly awful rookie seasons in recent NHL memory and set off a butterfly effect that still affects the team to this day.

Kevin also blows our mind with an unsubstantiated jersey rumor that we’re choosing to 100 percent believe is real.

Thanks again to Kevin for coming on. Follow him on twitter at @Schultz88. And make sure to visit Vintage Ice Hockey
