  • Weird Islanders: The Podcast! - Episode 62 - Jamie Heward (with guest Pinholes Graham)
    Feb 21 2025
    Along with NHL documentarian Pinholes Graham, Mike and Dan remember Jamie Heward, a quality defenseman whose super power was simply showing up everywhere. Drafted by the Penguins and spending years in the minors, Heward got his big break with the expansion Predators before joining the Islanders for just one year. That undermanned and underpaid team needed a lot of help, but Heward provided timely scoring and some defensive awareness where he could. After two seasons in Columbus and a sojourn to Europe, Heward returned to the States to play for the Capitals, who were just beginning their Ovechkin Era. That was where a young Pinholes Graham kept seeing Heward's name appearing throughout Caps box scores and began wondering, "what's the deal with this guy?" The answers might surprise you. Thanks again to Pinholes for coming on. We are huge fans of his YouTube videos on weird or forgotten NHL tidbits and we cannot recommend them enough.

  • Islanders Anxiety - Episode 321 - There's a Pretty Clear Path
    Feb 17 2025
    Mike and Dan chat with Arthur Staple of The Athletic about Brock Nelson, Noah Dobson, James Hagens and a number of Islanders topics. After briefly discussing on the Four Nations Face-Off (yes, we gave in), we dive into the uncertainty surrounding the Islanders on an off the ice. Nelson's free agency is first, of course, and Art maintains his feeling that Nelson will be traded at or before the deadline on March 7. But there are many considerations in doing so that make the spot a difficult one for GM Lou Lamoriello. The same goes for Noah Dobson and his next contract, while a trade of the young defenseman seems unlikely. In the second half, we talk about Hagens, the Islanders fan who will be a high pick in this year's draft, as well as Cole Eiserman, Danny Nelson, Quinn Finley and other reasons for optimism in the Islanders' generally dismal development system. We end with questions about the coach and the integration of the new players into the team's historically tight locker room. As always, we can't thank Art enough for his time and insight and we'll try to get him on again after the dust settles. Subscribe to our Patreon!

  • Monthly Mail Bag podcast - February 2025 - SAMPLE
    Feb 12 2025
    Here's a sample of this month's Patreon-only Monthly Mail Bag, which is (mostly) dedicated to Brock Nelson, who might be in his final days with the only NHL club he's ever known, or might be on the verge of a contract extension that will be ridiculed no matter how reasonable it is. The full version includes our answers to questions about rebuilds, EBUGs, James Hagans, free agents, one-season wonders and, somehow, comic books. We also talk about what the NHL could actually do to remedy their dire TV product (as opposed to what we normally do, which is just tear down the whole operation). We also expose what we thought was common knowledge: that the "Josh Bailey Song" isn't actually about Josh Bailey at all! To hear the full episode without ads, go to Patreon.com/islandersanxiety and sign up for our Country Club tier. That gives you access to our full archive of Monthly Mail Bags and lets you ask your own question for our next edition. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
