Evan comes in fired up after the Islanders sweep the Rangers and makes it clear he’s not letting anyone minimize it. Shaun tries to downplay the sweep by claiming it “doesn’t really count” because the Rangers had already quit on the season, which immediately sets Evan off. What starts as hockey trash talk quickly turns into a heated argument about fan pride, excuses, tanking, and whether a rivalry win still matters if one side claims they stopped caring.
Islanders fans call in to celebrate the sweep, Rangers fans push back, and Evan argues you don’t get to rewrite the rules just because your team is struggling. The debate expands into whether fans are allowed to emotionally check out when a team quits, how rivalries lose their edge, and why excuses only make losses look worse. Just when things finally settle down, Tiki Barber ignites a brand new debate by floating Kirk Cousins as a possible Jets quarterback, sending the segment into full Jets offseason chaos.

Morass stop with the excuses. Oh we didn't have Shesterkin, Pannarin, Fox. Well the Islanders didn't have Sorokin for almost 10 games, didn't have Horvat, no Romanov. Did Islanders fans make excuses when they were out of the lineup? No we didn't, team kept playing hard. Morass you sound like a big baby while spinning the wheel of excuses, suck it up sunshine
Evan is such a bandwagoner.
How is this guy allowed to talk on the air? I guess the jets 15 years of failure don’t count because the owner doesn’t care either. It makes me feel better that getting swept by the pats every year doesn’t count.
Edit: it gets worse. At no point did the islanders or their fans even dream about the first pick. They were in a playoff hunt up until the last 2 weeks of the season. The islanders didn’t tank, they won the lottery. They were slated to pick 10 or 11. He also doesn’t know who they are tanking for. Hahahahahhah
The Islanders run this metro area, take that Rangers and Devils! Let's go Islanders! Always root for the blue and orange NY teams! 💙🧡
Ranger fan here.. of course it counts as a sweep. How impressive the sweep actually is… now that can be a question.
Sean is lying
Shawn definitely paints his nails watching Gilmore girls
The Rangers have checked out and so have the fans.
Sean is a complete embarrassment and it’s unfortunate that that’s the level of talent permitted on NY sports talk radio. We are a LONG way off from Mike and the Mad Dog. Geez.
Oh give me a break Evan the Islanders aren’t that good. We don’t care Evan, they’re not playing Panarin, Fox or Igor give me a break
Well it does count as a streak but who cares it was a dead Eden game last night missing their best three players, big deal
I’m with my guy Evan. That is maybe one of the worst arguments I’ve heard on sports radio coming from Shaun. I’m speechless.
The only player not playing is Panarin bc he more than likely is getting traded…just bc they're sellers, doesn't mean those players on the ice aren't trying, regardless of who's out there. Shaun needs to get a clue
I must have missed the memo from Bettman himself saying that Wins/loses against teams that declare themselves as tank jobs (like the pathetic New York Rangers) are voided.
Sean is high on the biggest form of copium I’ve ever seen
1940!
my god who cares
Does Evan have Parkinsons?
Haven't watched these videos in a while didn't you use to sit when doing the show dam since carton came back they can't even afford chairs anymore
Were the rangers quitting
When they pulled the goalie
Shaun is the biggest clown on the radio. What about the rangers wins after the letter buddy?? Rangers are an embarrassment franchise and this fool craps out nothing but useless bait.
Bullshit it's not a preseason game a sweep is a sweep
The islanders lost duclair sorokin barzel dobson pellech pulloch last year for a pretty long time
Islanders are my dark horse win the cup. Roy has got that team together. Playing hard for each other and sorokin is the best goalie in the world right now
Morash look in the mirror your close to dying 😂
A sweep is a sweep
Typical Rangers fan, and Islanders hater….not only is it a sweep, but they embarrassed them so bad, that for the first time I ever heard the Islander fans take over MSG!…LGI!
