Mike and Dan discuss the Islanders' latest point streak and unlikely reappearance in the Eastern Conference playoff race. With a makeshift lineup full of forgotten players and total nobodies, the Islanders have risen from the ashes through hard work and (finally) a little luck. They came from behind to beat the Penguins, toppled the Habs in overtime (not that anyone from Montreal even noticed them) and gave away a point to Calgary while not playing their best. It's a feel good story that only we're paying attention to and is still also frustrating to watch unfold. It continues this week with a huge game against Columbus, a game against a Western Conference counterpart in Vancouver and then a rough back-to-back in Tampa and Raleigh. More points means fighting another day. Lost points might mean game over but with this season, who knows. We also talk about the newest Islanders signee - Colorado College forward Gleb Veremyev - and how the once bereft farm system suddenly looks a little better (even while Bridgeport remains terrible).
