Islanders Anxiety - Episode 306 - Do It On Your Own

Islanders Anxiety: A New York Islanders podcast

Mike and Dan reflect on the Islanders' Western Canada road trip so far, which has included one good game, one bad game and one unfortunate game. They were lucky to escape Edmonton with a point (and without giving up Connor McDavid's 1000th) thanks to great performances by Ilya Sorokin and Anders Lee, but followed it up with an inexplicably great performance in Vancouver and a convincing win over the Canucks. They carried those vibes into a Saturday matinee in Seattle that was fun for 55 minutes before breakdowns and bad luck ruined the afternoon. The "Make or Break" trip hasn't broken them, but they continue losing important points and living on the playoff bubble as they have for the last few seasons. Meanwhile 30 miles west, Rangers watchers create problems that aren't there and across the continent, Canucks Nation wrestles with one bad game the likes of which we have seen repeatedly over here. We also look ahead at the road trip's final two games and surprisingly important home contest that follows.
