Weird Islanders: The Podcast! - Episode 38 - Kevin Poulin (with guest Marc Sabourin)

Islanders Anxiety: A New York Islanders podcast

Joined by Marc Sabourin, aka Sab, aka the creator of one of the best Islanders channels on YouTube, Mike and Dan remember goalie Kevin Poulin, who played less and won more internationally than most realize. Poulin was pressed into duty on multiple iterations of the Islanders, few of them good. But he was capable of having outstanding games and standing on his head trying to keep the often undermanned or unstructured Isles afloat. After six seasons, many injuries, and a run-in with a future Islanders goalie in only 50 games in blue-and-orange, Poulin bounced around the planet and continued to play. And in 2018, on two international stages, he found the success that would never come to him on The Island. Sab tells us about following Poulin's career with the Islanders and Team Canada, how he copes with being an Islanders fan up north, and about his fantastic and indispensable YouTube channel, @sab769. Be sure to subscribe to him there and begin your trek down any number of rabbit holes.
