Episode Recap: Saturday Offseason Banter

Saturday's episode of Hockey Night on Long Island of course marked the start of the Islanders' offseason, but also was a lot of fun thanks to some great banter between Hosts Alex and Steve and special guest Andy Facini of the Islanders Castaway Blog. A large portion of the show discussed the NHL's scheduling and playoff system and how they can both be improved. Of course, a large amount of attention was given to Monday Night's NHL Draft Lottery, where the Islanders will have the opportunity to obtain the first overall pick in the draft and acquire young phenom Steve Stamkos. Call-ins from a few regulars ranged from Rick DiPietro and Wade Dubiliwicz to the play of Blake Comeau and Kyle Okposo, making for a very interesting episode. If you missed Saturday's episode of HNLI, be sure to check out the show page for the archived episode or search "Hockey Night on Long Island" in the iTunes Music Store.

NHL 2008 Entry Draft Lottery: Drawing to Be Televised Monday



The draft lottery, which will be held at 8 PM EST, is particularly important for the Islanders, who are currently seated among the bottom five teams in the league. Should they still be there when Monday night rolls around, the Isles will have a shot at obtaining the first overall draft pick and almost certainly the highly touted prospect, Steve Stamkos.


This, of course, all depends on how the Islanders do in the few games that remain in the NHL season. Should they lose and fall in the standings, they could potentially better their odds at bringing in Stamkos or at least a higher pick. This, however, would mean losing to the Rangers twice and propelling them to the clinching of a playoff birth. So, the home-and-home against the Rangers, regardless of the outcome, will most likely be a bittersweet one for Islanders fans to watch.

Regardless of how the Isles fare in their final few games, it is certain that Monday night will be a key night for the future of the franchise. It's extremely exciting that the NHL is taking the step to televise the lottery and I'm sure every Isles fan will be watching closely on Monday Night.

Be sure to tune into this Saturday's episode of Hockey Night on Long Island as hosts Alex and Steve will undoubtedly devote plenty of coverage to Monday night's lottery and much more Isles talk.
