Islanders Anxiety - Episode 287 - Another Day at the Office

Islanders Anxiety: A New York Islanders podcast

Mike and Dan recap a successful couple of games that have put the Islanders on the brink of clinching a playoff spot - which is both good and terrifying. An OT win over the Canadiens and a "feel good" shootout loss the Rangers meant huge points in the Eastern Conference playoff race. A win in New Jersey on Monday night would lock up third place in the Metro Division, but this team does nothing easy. So numbers and lineups and probabilities mean nothing. We look ahead to that game and the regular season finale versus Pittsburgh, plus we debut a new Master Leaf Theatre spinoff, Master Pens Theater (48:34-1:01:00), in which the real architect behind their run for the playoffs is revealed (spoiler: it's the bespectacled GM). Finally, we talk about the Coyotes' plight and upcoming flight to Salt Lake City, and how the NHL apparently wants to do more business with the crook that made it happen.
