Episode 43 features something completely foreign to me after a year and a half of podcasting - an "in studio" guest. This presented an exciting dynamic, but also a host of new audio problems I haven't had to deal with before. I learned a bit this episode and have some corrections when we visit it again in the works.

Featured this episode is a local buddy and fan of mine - Tim English. He's just as passionate as I am (and way more prepared stats wise). We talk about a variety of topics this week - from the recent injury to Casey Cizikas, Kieffer Bellows' first two goals, the stretch of six games the Islanders are on (4-1-1 over that span), the "power play" and the approaching trade deadline.

We bring up a couple of theories and pressing needs as well as answer some questions from Twitter followers. It's a fun one and hopefully you guys enjoy it. It was another one of those episodes where before I knew it, we were at just about an hour.
