Isles Buzz

Mike and Dan recap a spectacularly bad weekend for the Islanders and discuss GM Lou Lamoriello's words following the trade deadline. They look back at losses to the Bruins and Lightning that prove once again that this iteration of the Islanders simply can't beat the NHL's best this season, even when they give it their all. They also recap wins against the Senators and Red Wings that that prove once again that this iteration of the Islanders is better than the rest of the NHL's non-playoff teams. In the second half, they parse Lamoriello's press availabilities after the deadline and what it might mean for the wingers who have had disappointing seasons. They ask what kind of player Oliver Wahlstrom wants to be, whether Anthony Beauvillier can make himself untradeable, why there's no help coming from the minors and how to stop Lamoriello from dressing like a funeral director.
