How will having now fans in the stands change playoff hockey for the Islanders this year? It will certainly be different but the Isles will still have home ice advantage in Round 1 against Florida.

We also discuss the coaching matchup in this playoff series and how both teams have Hall of Fame caliber coaches going head-to-head.

The Islanders dynasty is still not getting enough respect from NY-area sports writers and we also look back at the Isles softball teams of the 70s and 80s.

Plus our Islanders birthday of the day and a great game for that player from the Fisherman Jersey days.

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