Mike and Dan recap the first two games of Islanders season, which were annoying, frustrating and disappointing after a summer of excitement. In their season/home opener against the Utah No Names, the Islanders played all their hits - blown leads, bad penalty killing, an overtime loss - leaving fans angry and discouraged. A busy 3-0 loss to Dallas in the Stars' home opener might have been a product of poor luck, but combined with the previous game, it extinguished a lot of the hope fans came into the season with. With familiar problems and the same party line about "having good starts" and "it's a new season," it was exactly the type of opening weekend no one wanted. In the second half, we look forward to two more road games in Colorado and St. Louis, and a home game against Montreal that, while not a "make-or-break" week sure feels like a make-or-break week. Can the Islanders take advantage of a couple of wounded Western Conference teams and right the ship. History says no, but we wait and see.
