Islanders Anxiety - Episode 248 - So Unnecessarily Evil
Mike and Dan recap the Islanders’ stunning loss in overtime of Game 6 against Carolina, and the many factors that doomed them (and might continue to doom them in the future).

After a few chances early in OT, it was two bad plays by two usually reliable performers that brought the series to a close.
While the loss still stings - and will for some time - there are some for whom it might be their last game in an Islanders uniform, which just adds to the layers of sadness.
