This week in Islanders talk
The shows spent the week on how Pete DeBoer is getting Matthew Schaefer to drive offense with drop passes and downhill rushes, with the Islanders off to a solid start. There was also some debate about whether the organization will ever retire John Tavares' number, with the consensus being it's still a long way off given how his departure hurt the fan base.
