Islanders Anxiety - Episode 311 - Wash Some of the Apathy Away

Islanders Anxiety: A New York Islanders podcast

Dan and Mike (and little Emmy Lou) celebrate a solid win over Toronto with new episodes of both Master Leaf Theatre and Ranger Piece Theater. After a disastrous and disappointing shutout loss in Carolina on Tuesday, hopes were low going into Saturday's Hockey Night in Canada tilt against Gord's favored sons. But with a healthy, balanced lineup, some hard work and a first NHL goal by a local product, Islanders fans enjoyed a rare feel good win and maybe the most pure joy they've had all season. The night couldn't have gone better, which makes Monday night's game against a Sabres team that's winless in 13 straight all the more terrifying. But a win over them and the Penguins this weekend might give us a taste of how the second half the season will go. We spend the second half presenting new entries into the Master Leaf Theatre and Ranger Piece Theater canon, including a penalized (and now suspended) player helping their team win even when he's not there, a player enjoying family time being treated like he walked on the moon and another shot at Islanders fans who dare not like someone. It’s a super-duper-sized and slightly early holiday treat from us to you.
