Arthur and Mark discuss Josh Ho-Sang’s status with the team and detail some of the issues he’s had throughout his Islanders tenure that led to his current situation. Then, the guys give their thoughts on the Isles’ first two games against the Caps and Jets and look forward to Tuesday night’s game against the Oilers, a team trying to emulate the Lou Lamoriello-Barry Trotz model. Plus, Noah Dobson making his NHL debut, Johnny Boychuk’s veteran role, Adam Pelech and Ryan Pulock as a number one pair, and quick thoughts on Friday’s first meeting with the Carolina Hurricanes since last year’s playoffs.
