Quick Fix: It's Time

Quick Fix: It's Time

Author: Powered by Isles Fix, your only New York Islanders daily newsletter March 4, 2025 Duration: 35:59

It's a Quick Fix featuring Joe Buono (@IslesFix) and former VP of Communications for the Islanders, Chris Botta (@ChrisBottaNHL).

Cal Clutterbuck called it a “Monday-nighter,” a stale and somewhat uneventful game where neither team got much going all night.

There’s no excuse for that at this point of the season, and certainly no excuse when playing your rival with playoff position on the line after they drubbed you 5-1 on home ice less than a week ago. But alas, that’s what happened to the Islanders in their 4-0 defeat at MSG last night.

Chris and Joe provide their perspective after the team gave GM Lou Lamoriello the latest indication that, no matter how resilient the team has been, the right thing to do for the organization is to sell, and perhaps sell big.
