Mike and Dan celebrate Ilya Sorokin stealing the Islanders a win and look at some possible trade targets. They recap a week in which the Islanders mostly looked tired and ineffective but came away with four points, thanks in large part to a couple of rookies. They examine the levity/gravity ratio of first liner (!) Leo Komarov and the joys of seeing Thomas Hickey again. Later, they run down a list of players who could potentially be moved before the deadline including the obvious (Taylor Hall, Kyle Palmieri), the not so obvious (Ryan Getzlaf, Andrew Cogliano) and the please don't (Anthony Beauvillier).

Mike and Dan examine the Islanders' wild weekend series against the Devils, their winning streak and the attention the team is starting to get from around the NHL. They talk about the Islanders finally reaching the Bruins' level after years of trying, the injury to Anders Lee and all he means to the team and the breakout performance of Kieffer Bellows in the games immediately following. They also recount a crazy Sunday that saw a player return from out of nowhere and the trust Barry Trotz instills in his charges, even when they're not in the lineup. Later, they shake their fists at national media finally noticing the Islanders' talent after three seasons of success and wonder how ESPN will cover the NHL when it takes command of the league's broadcasting.

Mike and Dan examine the Islanders' complete sweep of the Sabres and how they know the unique pain Buffalo fans are feeling. They talk about how the teams can be considered mirror images of each other, and how the ghosts of Islanders past continue to fuel the team's current incarnation through a cosmic hockey wormhole. Later, they look ahead to a tougher matchup against another team from the bottom of the division and how the Devils' version of the many Bruce Lee knockoffs of the early 70's could create problems for the Islanders. Finally, they discuss the debut of the Islanders' Reverse Retro jerseys and how they bring up memories of the teams and failed draft picks of their youth.

Mike and Dan are in much better moods after the Islanders shut out the Penguins for the first time since Eddie Murphy had a hit single. They talk about the team's huge bounce back win after a disappointing overtime loss on Saturday and their propensity for coming up big in big moments, despite what the models might say. Later, they look ahead to a week that features three games against the Buffalo Sabres, a franchise that's falling apart at the seams. Along the way they discuss Oliver Wahlstrom's emergence, the "operatic" Ilya Sorokin, Devils goalies of yesteryear and fluffy haired fighter pilots.

Mike and Dan are fired up and frustrated about the Islanders last few games, who to trust and who organized an office Christmas party before a game in February. They seethe about them playing well in losses and poorly in wins, Sidney Crosby's 1,000th game, North Division fixation and what to make of the Islanders' difficult next month. Later, they cast an eye towards expensive wayward Sabre Jeff Skinner, recently-waived former hero Frans Nielsen and his era of Islanders hockey, and the sad summer of 2016 that still looms large over a number of NHL franchises.
