Mike and Dan look back at Kyle Okposo's Stanley Cup and Kyle MacLean's new contract before looking ahead to the NHL Draft and free agency with Ethan Sears of the NY Post. With the Panthers' 2-1 victory over Edmonton in Game 7, their long-suffering fans can finally feel some relief, while we can chuckle at the Oilers' failure, ESPN's issues and how many people were wrong about so many things this season. We're happy for a few former Islanders, and we're also happy a current Islander will be sticking around on a bargain deal. Meanwhile, the Devils got a goalie, the Rangers get bailed out of a bad contract (giving us an impromptu Ranger Piece Theater subject) and the Capitals get a guy who can sulk for them into the future. But that's not all! This supersized episode welcomes in Ethan Sears to talk about what he expects the Islanders to do at this week's draft, how they need to change (but might not) and how he enjoyed his time at the T20 Cricket World Cup at Eisenhower Park. Thanks again to Ethan for giving us some of his time this afternoon. Finally, we finish with some predictions and a call for the Islanders to pick an identity that can help them and us conceptualize our own Stanley Cup celebration.
