In what is probably the biggest move of the NHL offseason, Through The Island Podcast has signed with The Hockey Podcast Network

Season finale, and we have a big announcement at the top of the show. We show our 12espects to Josh Bailey, a Damn Fine Islander, then unpack Lou's extensions, rejoice in Ilya, then lay out Alex deBrincat's big choice: Isles or Damnation?

Our friend Pete Judge (@petejudge9) brings his expertise as an amateur hockey scout and post-rock head to make up for Corporate Co-Host Mike's short shift this episode. We discuss:

-The Knights Cup Win

Pete's scouting guide will eventually be up here (though you can hit him up directly if you want it): https://tsathleticconsulting.substack.com/?fbclid=IwAR1h_GFZ8J0e5M4bU_LTbWKwg2Z5WdR37nHiZETeo_9LazrCD5bg6n2f7NY

Desmond and Mike are back with some quality playoff posting and podcasting. Topics:

-Shout out to our friends (the people who bought out TRCLI benefit shirts) and our haters (the transphobes who unintentionally caused a boom in our orders)

Song: "True Trans Soul Rebel" by Against Me!

Desmond and Mike exchange voice notes up top; Mike once again cannot record, so John Muir (@OlegKvasha on twitter) is the co-host call-up. We react to the Isles 1st round defeat by the Hurricanes, reflect on a chaotic season now done, and a lot of soul-searching on the critical decisions and difficult conversations we foresee fast-approaching.

Desmond the Host is (re?)joined by Corporate Co-host Mike as the Isles return to playoffs, much to the chagrin of loser pundits and chart hugging freaks. Discussion points include the insanity of being an insufferable complainer, the joys of being a true beLIever, and unpacking a high event season finishing with a mood swing final week and an unreal night at UBS Arena.

Corporate Co-host Mike gives his final update from his Euro tour before coming back to the US. Desmond is joined by co-host call up of the week Mike Leboff of the Islanders Anxiety Podcast to discuss the past week of Isles games. We discuss the Isles Podcast Universe, Ilya Sorokin as the Savior, Handsome Pierre Engvall, and What's Eating Noah Dobson. It is a long episode, but it's playoff szn folks. Empty the tank.

Corporate Mike sends his regards from the Netherlands. Desmond brings on Ratt Martin of the Skates At The Stakes podcast to discuss the Isles March of fortitude, the joys of being a Never Doomer fan, and the WWE/AEW wrestling war. I'll be honest, the Delta 8 gradually took effect over the course of recording. Very curious how it sounds. Guess we'll find out.

Trade deadline extravaganza! Mike checks in from Europe with his thoughts on the Isles' deadline decisions. Desmond is joined by special guest co-host Christian Beale (of music / 300IQ Militia fame) to discuss Lou's performance, the state of the team heading into the playoff push, the hits and misses from this year's trade market, and Barry Trotz as future GM. The boys are buzzing on this edition of the only Islanders podcast that matters

Mike starts the pod with some thoughts, live from Europe, on the Isles and his life in general. Then Desmond is joined by Ryan Doyle of Filthy F'n Casuals as special guest co-host. The Bo Horvat experience, throwing respect on Anders Lee's name, and the general "guess we'll find out" energy of this year's Islanders are amongst some topics discussed. Buckle up folks, we're ready to get hurt again.
