  • Islanders Anxiety - Episode 340 - Out of Nowhere High Note
    Jul 4 2025
    Mike and Dan recap another busy week for the Islanders, with free agent signings, a prospect camp and other energizing events to keep us buzzing through the summer. The Islanders started free agency by giving big money to Alexander Romanov and retaining Tony DeAngelo, two somewhat surprising moves that had fans shaking their heads. But as the signing window opened, some tidy pieces of business emerged: team-friendly deals for Simon Holmstrom and new guy Emil Heineman, an actual NHL backup goalie in David Rittich and a potential homerun in forward Jonathan Drouin. Finally, they snagged sought-after Russian import Maxim Shabanov, who saw the Islanders as the best fit for him. Suddenly, a pattern was formed of risk-free short-term deals that should help next year's roster. Meanwhile, the future continues to look bright after their first prospect camp in seven years let a new batch of Uncles grab some of the spotlight. Matthew Schaefer, Cole Eiserman, Isaiah George and others got to flash some skills and personality in front of clamoring fans, and saw the passion they can look forward to as full time Islanders. It was a surprisingly inspiring time and let us head into the offseason feeling good. Finally, we take a tour around the NHL at some of the notable free agents who signed elsewhere and say good bye to the awful TSN Free Agent Frenzy Show (and, unfortunately, the wonderful Bob McKenzie).

  • Islanders Anxiety - Episode 339 - Touched Every Emotion
    Jun 30 2025
    Mike and Dan recap a busy weekend of trades, a draft, signings and some clarity in the Islanders direction. There's so much to discuss that it's easy to forget that the Islanders drafted Matthew Schaefer - the No. 1 rated prospect in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft, a singular defenseman and an exemplary human - first overall. Schaefer's introduction to Long Island has already been an event, and he hasn't even played a game for them yet. Had they simply walked out of Friday's draft with just him, it would have been considered a win. But before the draft, GM Mathieu Darche made a huge decision, trading defenseman Noah Dobson to Montreal for a pair of first round picks and depth forward Emil Heineman. The move shocked even those who expected it and wasn't met with universal praise from Islanders fans, who saw the team's best blueliner leave for futures and sign with the Canadiens for eight years. As we've learned more, it seems as if the player had a lot of leverage and Darche did the best he could. The trade also set fans up for what they thought was a second shocking move. And while drafting James Hagens didn't materialize, Darche did use the Habs' picks to get two highly-touted prospects in winger Victor Eklund and defenseman Kashawn Aitcheson, as well as even more rated prospects in Day 2. They've been getting great marks from the Prospect Perverts and Draft Grifters, which is better than getting raked over the coals. More than anything, it means that development has become a focus again after too many years of stitching the ship back together and hoping it still floats. In the last segment, we discuss two Bridgeport signings (one very surprising), the team's Restricted Free Agents outlook and take a stab at some Unrestricted Free Agents they might take a run at. There's a lot to digest before Tuesday at noon when free agency begins. Subscribe to our Patreon!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Members get ad-free episodes of the shows, bonus podcasts, written posts and much more.

  • Weird Islanders: The Podcast! - Episode 71 - Weirdest Islander of the Year 2025 (with guest Matt Kammerer)
    Jun 24 2025
    Our friend and favorite ex-Nassau Coliseum usher Matt Kammerer joins us from his hot tub to crown the second ever Weirdest Islander of the Year. This season's chase came down to two men, although our winner was more than deserving of the honor. The circumstances that brought him to the Islanders were unique and presented an opportunity that he took and ran with. Based on his career and reputation, none of us ever saw him ever playing for the team. But once he did arrive, he gave them something we hadn't seen in this manic season: a totally normal performance from a defenseman. He might not be here much longer, but together we learned that hockey normalcy can sometimes come from the most unlikely of sources. Our runner-up also personified the season-long question of, "Where is everybody?" His single performance was brief as it could possibly be, but it was a flashpoint at the time and might still be having some lingering effects as we head into the offseason and the next campaign. Let's hope it's not the only NHL action he sees in his career. The winner of the Weirdest Islander of the Year is awarded the Don Cutts Trophy for his efforts. And the concept of Weirdest Islander of the Year comes from Patron Will Forthman. The opening clip was from Weird Islanders: The Podcast - Episode 50 - The Weirdest Islander of the Year 2024. Thanks again to Matty for coming on, for his humor and his hot tub. Follow him on Twitter at @ExIsledUsher). If you see a man in a Roosevelt Raceway hat tearing up the Flanders Duck one of these days, you'll know who it is. And thank you all for your votes and for listening to Season 4 of Weird Islanders: The Podcast! We got to make some new friends and caught up with some old ones for a great slate of short timers. We'll be back next season for more (and, hopefully, more ex-Islanders as well). WEIRDEST ISLANDER OF THE YEAR: 2024 - Robert Bortuzzo 2025 - ??? Subscribe to our Patreon!
