I regret to inform you all that word of the Islanders’ many, many issues this season has spread beyond our intimate fan community.
On his Hockey PDOcast, Sportsnet’s Dmitri Filipovic dedicated significant parts of two recent episodes to diagnosing the Islanders, once with player-turned-analyst Mike Johnson and then again with Hockeyviz founder Micah Blake McCurdy. On Thursday’s episode of Marek Vs. Wyshynski, Jeff Marek and Greg Wyshynski were asked what ailed the team and speculated on who might get fired when. Wyshynski also talked about the Islanders on his Puck Soup podcast with Dave Lozo, but I admit I couldn’t find a free 90-plus minutes to listen to it what with the depression and all.
