I wish I could take credit but another of my Islanders podcast compatriots came up with it first

No matter how much the Islanders lose by tonight (and with "No Save Dave" in net, it will probably be a lot), tomorrow will see the premiere of Season Five of Weird Islanders: The Podcast! and Weird Islanders Extra! Our guest is someone we've wanted to get on for a while and they didn't disappoint.

Eric Tusky?

Meet Tusky: The /utahmammoth just unveiled a 6-foot-5 Mountain Blue mammoth named Tusky as their official mascot tonight prior to their home opener.

Inspired by Utah's prehistoric roots, Tusky made a dramatic entrance Wednesday - bursting from a massive block of ice. #TusksUp

Congrats to the New York Islanders on being the last winless team in the Eastern Conference. Great work all around. But that new puppy video was super cute, though.

Progressive can either have Flo and Crew or Dr. Rick. Not both.

Four kicks (Eddie is extremely cool but there’s a lot of competition)

The latest Patreon-exclusive Monthly Mail Bag covers an 0-3 start no one saw coming. Old, slow defensemen, a coach's baffling decisions, a lack of identity and the forgone idea that this is simply how it's going to be all season.

Alexis Young, lead singer of 'Blonde Diamond' joins the show to discuss "In the Cold, Cold Night" - arguably the Stripes' most intimate song, AND with Meg White on lead vocals.

This was an excellent conversation, and a GREAT episode!

“The Island FC?” I’m suing these guys for copyright infringement.

Cheer up: If you've ever been in a situation where you've tried very hard to argue out of a very obviously bad situation and tried to defend a friend, there's a good chance you came off better than Mark Cuban did in this latest Pablo Torre podcast. Holy christ, what a maniac.

Darby/Mox. Literally no idea what's gonna happen. I just hope one doesn't die. Hangman/Joe will be great but I'm 99% sure we know the ending already.

Dan @cultureoflosing.bsky.social · 2d

probably 6 because of Hangman/Joe and Darby/Mox

Did she like it? Guessing the final score didn't matter much.

I know everyone’s mad that they’re 0-3 but the islanders gave me early access to watch Matthew Schaefer’s upcoming appearance on Hot Ones and let me just say it’s absolutely epic. The kid can eat wings. With content this good I don’t care if they win a game all year

Patrick Roy's greatest strength as a coach is telling old stories about Larry Robinson.
