New York Islanders stumble out of the gate with 0-3 start. Can Patrick Roy right the ship before it's too late?

Gil Martin dissects the Islanders' defensive woes, goaltending struggles, and special teams failures. The host examines Mathew Barzal's elite skating, Emil Heineman's promising debut, and Anders Lee's leadership challenges. Martin questions the team's identity under Roy's up-tempo system and ponders if a return to defensive-minded hockey is necessary.

Key topics include Ilya Sorokin's subpar performance, the lack of offensive firepower, and Casey Cizikas reaching the 900-game milestone. Martin also touches on Cal Ritchie's demotion to the AHL.

Tune in for an in-depth analysis of the Islanders' early-season crisis and potential solutions to turn their fortunes around.

All this and more on today's Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.
