After two awful losses and one wobbly win in a crucial week, Mike and Dan discuss how this Islanders season has felt like a huge waste of time for everyone.
Sure, Adam Pelech (of all people) scoring in overtime against the Penguins felt good. But the goal came after yet another blown third period lead and gave away a point to another team in the same playoff chase. Instead of using the win as a springboard to a streak, the Islanders lost winnable games against the Blues (in a shutout) and Lightning (at home, in a matinee), that left them seven points back of a playoff berth and left us questioning why we’re even still watching.
