In an uncharacteristically effusive episode, Mike and Dan are joyful as the Islanders clinch a playoff berth with a huge win over Buffalo following an equally huge win in Winnipeg. They praise Brendan Burke calling out some pessimistic preseason predictions, Robin Lehner swearing in front of 13,000 people and Barry Trotz being Barry Trotz.

Also, Andy Hilbert is mentioned yet again.
