    Weird Islanders: The Podcast! - Marc-Andre Bergeron (with guest Isles Den)

    Joined by Islanders commenter (and new podcaster) Isles Den, we remember Marc-Andre Bergeron, a surprisingly important short-time player for a number of NHL teams. Anyone who watched Bergeron play, either before or after his season-plus stint on Long Island will no doubt immediately picture a very small man skating up and down the ice scoring power play goals at the mere mention of his name. But there was a reason he was so sought after to the point that he became something of a human internet meme - he was really good on the power play. And if you were a playoff hopeful - as the Islanders surprisingly were in the spring of 2007 - he could be the perfect addition to your lineup (until he was eventually traded someplace else). We talk with Isles Den about how Bergeron was integral to his attachment to the Islanders as a young fan, his unique and energetic style of play and the joy we all felt when he just kept popping up on random teams for years to come. Thanks again to Isles Den for coming on. Be sure to follow him on Twitter and listen to his podcast Isles House. Subscribe to our Patreon!

    Islanders Anxiety - It Should Be Simple

    Mike and Dan look back at a good week for the Islanders that had a bitter ending, and how they make it difficult to just be a fan. After an unexpected comeback win at home against the Penguins and a, dare we say "normal," win against the Senators in Ottawa, the Islanders returned to their regular ways, blowing a lead and losing in overtime to the Devils. The good news is that they took five of six points to keep the season alive like we asked last week. The bad news is that they slipped back into bad habits and according to the coach, "their asses were tight" before heading out on a crucial Western Canada swing. Picking up points could make us believe again, but the Islanders are like a prestige cable drama that leaves you hanging in suspense between episodes. Except in those shows, the drama is enjoyable. In the second half, they examine that road trip, rejoice in the return of the Islanders Hall of Fame and a new Ring of Honor and take issue with the vultures that are already circling up north.

    Islanders Anxiety - Keep the Season Alive

    Mike and Dan react to an eventful week for the Islanders that featured a slew of injuries, a surprise win and three more frustrating losses. After shooting blanks again in winnable games against Anaheim and Columbus, the Islanders went to Buffalo, where they had not won in three seasons. Despite losing Mat Barzal before the game and Adam Pelech, Mike Reilly and Alex Romanov during it, they hung on for a win... only to then lose a gritty game two days later at Madison Square Garden against the world's luckiest team, the New York Rangers. Some teams don't deal with that much adversity in a season, let alone a week. But these are the Islanders, who have been making things that should be impossible to feel familiar feel familiar for three seasons now. In the second half, we look forward to the coming week including the first official "elimination game" of the season and what exactly the injuries mean going forward. They won't wave the white flag but if they can't stay afloat with the same depth players we're already well familiar with, they might need to have some difficult conversations.

    Weird Islanders: The Podcast! - Aatu Räty (with guest Jake from Skates at the Stakes)

    Joined by frequent prospect watcher Jake from the Skates at the Stakes podcast, we remember Aatu Räty's surprise drafting and splashy debut for the Islanders before he became part of a massive trade. Once expected to be a Top 10 pick, Räty's stock dropped precipitously in his draft year and he fell to the Islanders in the second round, which seemed like a steal at the time. Scoring a goal in his first NHL game only reinforced that idea. But about a month later, he was included in a deal for All Star Bo Horvat that launched a thousand awful hot takes that have only gotten more laughable over time. Jake tells us what drove him to watching prospects, what his thoughts on Räty were at the time of his drafting and his trade away and just how likely it is that the forward finds another new home at some point. Plus, Mike makes a bold predication we'll have to keep an eye on (possibly many years into the future). Thanks again to Jake for coming on and remember to listen to he, AJ and Ryan (now all Weird Islanders: The Podcast! guests) on the Skates at the Stakes podcast. Note: This episode was recorded before the season began. Räty made the Canucks roster out of camp but was assigned to Abbotsford of the AHL on Oct. 16. Subscribe to our Patreon!

    Islanders Anxiety - Driven Up a Wall

    Mike and Dan take turns ranting about the Islanders' week in which they were shut out (again), blew a bunch of leads (again) and generally did what they always do (again). In the span of five days they managed to get lose in regulation 1-0 after allowing just 11 shots, win in overtime after their best defenseman gave the puck to a player on the other team with a minute to go and then blow a 3-0 lead and lose again to the defending Stanley Cup champs in front of a dwindling amount of people while their media contingent spent more time complaining about not getting to talk to the coach pregame than anything that happen in the game. Meanwhile, fans want to believe there's a rift between coach and GM because it gives them someplace to direct their anger. In other words, it's just a normal week for the NHL's most abnormal team. Thankfully, no one but us is paying attention. In the second half, we discuss the attendance at UBS Arena and finish with our first Master Leaf Theatre of the season, which is just a small appetizer (we hope) of things to come.

    Islanders Anxiety - Episode 302 - What Emotion to Feel?

    Mike and Dan recap a week of good and bad, as the Islanders stay in the thick of the Metro despite some characteristically bizarre games. They start with Saturday night's home game against Montreal in which the nine-round shootout wasn't even the weirdest part. One person's "great atmosphere" is another's unsustainable, impossible parade of inexcusable b******t, an Islanders' trademark over the last several seasons. A 1-0 overtime loss to St. Louis on Thursday had its own elements of weirdness, as did a rousing win over a wounded Colorado team on Monday. On the whole, the Islanders are where most people expected them to be. But how they got here is just as insane as it ever was. In the second half, we look forward to the first daunting back-to-back of the season and look in on the Leafs, where the coach wasn't happy at practice, half the fanbase isn't happy with him and the former captain is selling magical jewelry.

    Weird Islanders: The Podcast! - Deron Quint

    Mike and Dan kick off Season Four with their first actual former Islander, as defenseman Deron Quint joins them to discuss his five games with the team during their 2007 stretch run, his long hockey career in the NHL and overseas and his new second career. Quint was brought over from Europe by Garth Snow with the Islanders in desperate straights to make the playoffs. What followed was an incredible run that Quint remembers well and fondly as one of the most fun times of his hockey life. Before and after that short stay, the New Hampshire native experienced a ton, like setting records in his rookie season with the Winnipeg Jets, moving with the team to a new market in Phoenix, uniting with the expansion Blue Jackets, and winning championships in Germany and accolades in Russia. Quint tells us how his perspective changed over the years and why his Islanders time is still so important to him. Along the way we hear stories about some of the stars he played with including Jeremy Roenick, Alexei Zhamnov, Teppo Numminen, Evgeny Kuznetsov and... Igor Shesterkin? We can't get away from that guy. Our eternal thanks to Deron for coming on with us and sharing his stories. We couldn't have asked for a better first ever Islander, and his generosity and memory (for games that happened in 2007 and beyond) is incredible. This is just the first of a whole season of great Weird Islanders coming up so don't miss them. Subscribe to our Patreon!

    Islanders Anxiety - Robbed of Joy

    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.
