Everybody's talking about the hit Anders Lee put on Nicklas Backstrom in Game 1, we will discuss whether it was dirty or intentional and what it will mean for Game 2 and the rest of this series.

We will also discuss two key areas where the Islanders have a distinct advantage over the Capitals and one major thing the Isles need to improve upon from Game 1 if they want to keep on winning hockey games.

We also have our Isles birthday of the day and a lot more on the weekend edition of The Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.
