Mike and Dan recap a productive week for the Islanders and celebrate the performances of Ilya Sorokin, Anthony Duclair and Simon Holmstrom.
The Islanders grabbed five of a possible six points in three very different games this week. One was a blowout that starred Duclair and also required 44 saves from Sorokin, giving him a new franchise record. The other was a tight shootout loss in Nashville that could have gone either way right up to the end. And the last was the rarest of all Islanders games - a win in Minnesota that was both a breakout game for Holmstrom and an even better performance for Sorokin than the shutout was. We asked for breathing room and got a tiny bit of it as some divisional rivals struggled.
In the second half, we look at the heart and dangers of their latest long road trip that takes them to Central and Western Canada. We also debut a new feature for our PBS system, Master Sens Theatre, in which some (alleged) Telenovela-esque drama comes to Canada's capital and the team's ham-handed way of squashing it just makes it worse. Finally, we get to laugh at both the Devils, and their continued sulking about a trade that didn't involve them, and the Rangers, who had a bad week and an even worse weekend that was full of the kind of "BS" they were supposed to be without this season.
