The Eyes on Isles Podcast returns for episode number 176 as Matt and Mitch will discuss all things New York Islanders on and off the ice.

2020 is finally coming to a close! I don’t think anyone will miss the year that was 2020, but Mitch and I won’t leave the year before discussing the top New York Islanders moments from the past 365 days.

We’ll each give our top-three moments and then just talk about why this year was important for the Islanders. We also have a lot to say about the Mathew Barzal situation.

Barzal has yet to sign with the Islanders as training camp is set to get underway on Sunday. Are we at all concerned? What can we expect from the deal and so much more to breakdown. Mitch also has some prospects to talk about.

Here’s what you can expect from episode 176:

Down On The Farm

Mitch will give us an update on each of the Islanders’ prospects around the world and what you can expect from them in 2021.
