Mike and Dan recap a haunted game against the Dallas Stars and look ahead to what might effectively be the final week of the Islanders' regular season. Sure, it was one game but, boy, did a lot happen. Weird goals, crushed hope, crazy calls and The Hockey Gods and the Islanders taking turns shooting feet. This team still lives on the same edge they've been on for years, where one turn of events throws the whole train off the track, and they're doing it again... again. There's a lot at stake in the next five games - two of them against their biggest rival and two more against teams they rarely ever beat - and we could be on the precipice of an era of great change for the Rich Long Island Dads. Whether that change is good or not is pretty frightening. We also discuss the hardest team situations in the NHL and what makes beard "tasteful," as well as pay tribute to two lost broadcasting legends.
