Podcast: Can Penguins crack Islanders' top-ranked defense, goaltending?
In Tuesday’s Sided.co podcast, we get a preview of the Islanders from News 12 Long Island Sports Director Kevin Maher.
The Penguins open in New York for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs on Wednesday. Among the questions we try to answer:
• Can the Penguins crack New York’s top-ranked defense?
• How will Islanders coach Barry Trotz deploy his goalies?
• Will the skill in Pittsburgh simply be too much for the Islanders to handle?

• Do the Islanders have enough scoring to keep up with the Penguins?
• It’s been a while since the two teams have seen each other. Since December, in fact. How are the two clubs different since then?
• Is there optimism within the New York fan base? Or are they just happy the Isles are in the playoffs?
• Are the fans over the bitterness towards John Tavares yet?
