    Weird Islanders: The Podcast! - Episode 59 - Brett Lindros (with guest Colin Stephenson)
    Jan 10 2025
    Dan chats with current Rangers and former Islanders beatwriter Colin Stephenson about Brett Lindros, who was expected to be a star but was forced to retire far too soon due to concussions. Following in the footsteps of his brother Eric, who was already a force in the NHL, Brett was a charming, well-spoken boy in a man's body when the Islanders selected him in the first round of the 1994 draft. With a lockout and disastrous previous season draining the customer base, the team put Lindros on the ice immediately, where he was a willing fight combatant but not much of a scorer. By Year Two, a series of head injuries became too much for him to bear, and at the age of just 20, he had to leave the game and the team that had hoped he would lead their next generation. Colin talks about covering this "eventful" Islanders era and about his dealings with Lindros before the "shattered dream" of his career had to be ended. The Islanders made a lot of mistakes back then, mostly off the ice, and a kid with a lot of promise paid the price for them. Subscribe to our Patreon!

  • Islanders Anxiety - Episode 313 - Agitated

    Islanders Anxiety - Episode 313 - Agitated
    Jan 7 2025
    Mike and Dan look back at an exciting overtime win over the Bruins that left them feeling more upset than joyous thanks to the sluggish season the Islanders have had. Following two losses to the Maple Leafs that straddled the new year, neither was looking forward to Sunday's game in Boston. But the Islanders took a lead, blew it, and then won on Bo Horvat's OT breakaway. In a vacuum, the game was an enjoyable back-and-forth affair. But in a season this deflating, it's very difficult to get fully inflated. And with two games out West in Vegas and Utah before a long homestand, the Islanders have the chance to do something they have not in quite a while: take care of business. Too bad we expect them to call in sick. We also discuss the dire state of NHL media in the year 2025, where a simple nightly recap show would be a blessing and getting straightforward information about league goings on feels damn near impossible to find.

    Islanders Anxiety - Episode 312 - The Joke Isn't Funny Anymore
    Dec 30 2024
    Mike and Dan react to another one win, two loss week for the Islanders, who remain consistently inconsistent and with little motivation on or off the ice. We've been frustrated and angry but now, more than anything, we're simply bored by this team, and our relationship with them might need to be reexamined. The team is mediocre or terrible at everything, players talk about playing better but don't for more than one game at a time, the coach thinks they play well after every game including a despicable 7-1 loss to a hopeless squad and the general manager is so calm, it's fair to wonder if he's doing anything at all to fix it. It's a bitter way to close out a year, but after watching the same game over and over, we don't know how else to feel. In the second half, we look back at some of our most listened-to episodes from the past year and Mike reveals the gift he was sent by former Islander Deron Quint. If you don't stick around that long, we don't blame you. But thank you for listening this season and we'll see you in 2025 (aka next week). Subscribe to our Patreon!
