The New York Islanders head to the Sunshine State for two games starting with tonight’s matchup with the Florida Panthers. We have a special crossover episode with Armando Velez of Locked On Florida Panthers.
We discuss both teams, how they’ve fared head-to-head and what we can expect tonight in this important game for both teams. We also examine some big picture issues facing both teams as we head towards the final 10 games of the season.
All this and more on today’s Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.

Two words-GIVE UP! Why try to salvage a lost season? Louzer's constant run it back needs to fail for the future/better of this franchise. And nothing to debate-cats and tb have high end skill isles only wish they had. They could run isles into the ground if they get going. Could be an ugly weekend in fla. SURRENDER NOW louzer. PLEASE RESIGN asap.
Mr Gil, I have a thought. Lou gets the long overdue canning, make Roy GM/Coach until he brings in his own Coach allowing Roy to get his upper management position he's always wanted. Roy knows first hand who he wants and doesn't want on his roster and I trust he'll make smarter decisions than Loopy Lou has. I guarantee whoevers still on the roster will play a lot harder knowing Roy is the GM. What say you sir?
Gil great show thank you, I was making an example IF I had a Son, the way the Organization handles young kids coming up, I wouldn’t have any part of it, I could write for ever, I’m just repeating myself, ha ha watch maybe tonight we’ll see the islanders run through one of the best teams in the league, love the crossover
We will destroy Panthers tonigjt😂😂…..LETS GO METS
Good 🌄, Gil, how are you? Good 🌄, Armando, Velez, Welcome to Locked On Islanders. The Islanders are in The ☀ State. They have The Panthers tonight, and THEY NEED TO BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET CLAWED UP. I saw Sam Reinhardt when they played against Detroit. THE MAN IS DANGEROUS, POWER PLAY OR NOT. Getting back to The Islanders, their PK is atrocious. I ❤ them to death, but I can't hide the truth, so if, they're smart, THEY'LL STAY OUT OF THE "JOINT" AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, The Islanders need to clean 🏘, and when they do, PATRICK ROY BETTER NOT BE THE FIRST TO GO, AND THEY SHOULD KEEP THE THREE "B'S," too. Hear from you tomorrow, Gil, and LET'S GO ISLANDERS.
Great show guys! Looking forward to tonight's game.
We get puck lined even without Barkov!
Good morning team. Welcome Armando. Gil, we love the crossover episodes, at least I do lol. A lot of information to think about. I'm looking forward to the game tonight. I truly feel this is a put up or shut up type of game. Hoping for a good showing with our team getting the 2 points they desperately need. Defensively, we need to be on our A game, and offensively, we have to take advantage of the chances we get, even though there may not be many, that peck needs to hit the back of the net, preferably through the opening in the front of the net. I'm hoping we'll be on a natural high, talking about our win, on tomorrow's show. It's not going to be easy. Everyone, have a great day and enjoy the game tonight. See you all tomorrow. Until then.. Let's Go Islanders!!
let's go on a run…put horvat nelson and barzie back together…best chance to go on a run is to throw out what worked during the last six game run. let's go islanders
Love the joint podcasts! Keep rollin’ them out Gil. Good job man
Armando, there are two million+ expiring contracts. Clutter at $1.75 and Martin at $1.5. Bortuzzo is $950K.
IMO, fire Yoda and dump the rest of this season. Bring up a bunch of AHL players, waive expiring contracts and go for the draft lottery. If they do it right, they will be battling Ottowa for 26th in the league. Waiving Martin, Clutter and Bortuzzo will give us the cap to call up 3 or 4 AHL players, and play Wahlstrom every game so we know what to do with him in the off season. It's long past time for ownership to face reality and prep for a rebuild. If Yoda is left in charge, Barzal, Dobson, Horvat, Nelson and Sorokin will waste their best years playing for the worst Isles team of this century.
It’s about time to root for the Rangers to win the cup! As repulsive as that might be, it’s better than the torture of consistent inconsistency the Isles subjected their whole season and every fan.
