The New York Islanders made the playoffs last season but struggled at the start of many games when they just didn't look ready to play when the puck was dropped. This is surprising for a veteran team. How can Lane Lambert, Anders Lee and Bo Horvat and company prevent this from being a problem again in 2023-24? We discuss several things the team can do on today's show.

Plus, we continue our look at the team's top prospects as we examine 2022 draft pick Isaiah George. What does the young defenseman bring to the table and how soon will he be NHL ready? We discuss all that and more on today's Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.
