About this episode

The episode discusses the Islanders' recent struggles, coaching changes, and features interviews with former players Micheal Haley and Josh Bailey.

Sadly for everyone involved, the Islanders chose a really bad time to have the worst week of their season dropping four straight games in regulation to drop from potential home ice in the playoffs to barely hanging by a thread. In a pressure-filled dash to towards the end, the teams around them rose to the occasion while the Isles tumbled on the ice and on down the standings, costing head coach Patrick Roy his job on Easter Sunday. With only four games remaining, Peter DeBoer takes over as a last-ditch hope to salvage what long looked like a campaign extending into the post-season. Sean & Arthur cover the huge shakeup, what it means going forward, with former Islanders Micheal Haley and Josh Bailey joining the discussion.
