Mike and Dan try to make sense of the Islanders' recent turnaround, that saw them win four straight and vault into third place in the Metro Division. What seemed like a lost cause suddenly became an uplifting triumph, sometimes within the same game. Wins over the Flyers, Blackhawks, Blue Jackets and, most improbably, the Predators included many of the team's bad habits, but also showed they're still capable of grinding out two points and can overcome certain demons when they want to. We also take a moment to give Barry Trotz our own version of a standing ovation as he returns to UBS Arena for the first time since his firing two summers ago. In the second half, we look at another big week against teams the Islanders have yet to beat this season and pay tribute to the longevity and revival of Cal Clutterbuck, as well as minting a new double edition of Master Leaf Theatre about a most important Leaf (1:04:16 to 1:17:18).
