WARNING. CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE. Dan and pinch-hitter Carey Haber discuss the Islanders' volatile week of one big win, one infuriating loss and one resilient shootout defeat.They look back at toe-to-toe battle in Boston that ended in a coin flip, a ludicrous loss against one of the NHL's worst clubs in Arizona, and a surprising but haphazard win over in Vegas a night later. None of this makes any sense at all, and Carey shares his process-focused thoughts as to why the Islanders have returned to what he calls "Doug Weight Happenstance." The change in systems and lack of detail, not to mention some suddenly shaky goaltending, leave the Islanders and us with a case of "Shocked Pikachu face." In the second half, they look at the upcoming schedule, which is stacked with tough opponents and impossible to predict. But first, we hear from Michael Leboff https://www.newyorkislandersprostore.com/dave-langevin-jersey, our man on the scene at the World Darts Championship at London's Alexandria Palace.Preorder your Anders Lee Reverse Retro Bobblehead today from the fine folks at FOCO.
