In the latest episode of “The Red Line” with co-hosts Phil Farber (@PhilzFacts) and David Tuchman (@TuckOnSports), the boys are joined by a special guest New York Islanders beat writer Stefen Rosner (@Stefen Rosner) of The Hockey News, who joins them live from the LIRR (he wasn’t in the quiet car) to talk about the team through eight games as the calendar turns to November.

In the latest episode:

* Overreactions after small sample sizes

* Lambert’s in-game line change decision

* Mayfield making the trip to DC

* Fasching drawing back into the lineup

* A mixed bag for Barzal (Dave has a cat named Barzal)

* Has “The Perfection Line” been even better than advertised?
