Mike and Dan talk about what’s working (Mathew Barzal, Josh Ho-Sang) and what isn’t working (the power play and the defense, among other things) after the first week of the Islanders season. They also discuss Taylor Hall’s sick burn of Jordan Eberle, the team’s all-in Belmont arena gambit and whether or not all of this is some kind of preordained ordeal just to make Islanders fans squirm.

Theme Song: "Sports" by Josh Spacek, available at the FreeMusicArchive.org.
