Mike and Dan look back at the NHL trade deadline and a satisfying week for the Islanders, who took home a big win over Detroit and a new large winger.
First, they recap Saturday’s matinee victory, which went from potentially demoralizing to jubilant in the span of a period. They talk about how “that smell” has re-emerged on the Islanders, who are looking more like the conference finals team from two seasons ago and playing meaningful games in March as they had hoped.
The second half is devoted to the fallout of this year’s trade deadline, from surprise winners to delicious losers and how the Islanders ended up being among the former.
