In his second appearance in as many weeks, Brett and Jon cover the last week in New York Islanders hockey. Has Brett's positivity disappeared? Can the Islanders bounce back after losing so many key players to injury? Are we at a breaking point? It gets late early when you rack up wins at the start of a season. We discuss if the Islanders can bounce back and what's next.

All that and more in this week's episode.

Episode 187 - "A Butt-kicking Disguised at a Comeback" - Ethan Sears

As the title suggests, the New York Islanders failed to hold their 3-0 lead in game two, losing any momentum from game one, and dropped 0-2 in their series with the Carolina Hurricanes. There's not a lot of hope in this week's episode, but we cover the first two games of the series and try to figure out some of the deeper problems on the Island.

James and Jon get behind their mics for the New York Islanders' last stand, recording during the Isles game against the Flyers. They discuss the week's games prior to their matchup with the Philadelphia Flyers and watch the Islanders grab a crucial two points in the most Islander way possible. It wasn't ideal, and the out-of-town scoreboard didn't swing in their favor, but it kept them in the hunt... for now.

That and more in this week's episode
