Islanders Anxiety – Episode 320 – Any Result is Possible

by


Our number one takeaway from this entire Four Nations tournament is that Brock Nelson better come out of it healthy.

Mike and Dan recap where the Islanders are at the Four Nations break and discuss some recent rumors surrounding them.

Despite a hot January, the Islanders are still four points out of a playoff berth with a large group of teams surrounding them and a disconcerting amount of injured players. While the winning streak pulled them out of the basement, they still have a large hill to climb which means the rest of the season and the trade deadline come loaded with a lot of questions. There’s no telling what they might do or how the Eastern Conference will shake out, which is both exciting and scary.

In the second half, we look ahead (barely) to the Four Nations Face Off and analyze the trade rumors that have popped up around Noah Dobson and the extension rumors about Brock Nelson. The possibility of both or neither exists and only Islanders fans will see the many nuances in both topics that the professional liars, prejudiced fans and other assorted idiots won’t see.

We have no answers but at least we’ve watched this team play all season, which is more than we can say for most people who talk about it.
