Who are you watching? Is that why Skinner has received 6 and 13 minutes respectively in his first two games. He looks like a fish out of water.

This is the best Team-related blog. No Hillen call ups, please. Skinner has already done more positive things in one game than Hillen has done the entire season, so far. Hillen may end up being a decent player, but he was absolutely awful to start the season. He is not ready. Let him develop in B'port this season. In my 25+ years of being an Isles diehard, I cannot recall so many mistakes made by the same player over a month period. He is clearly overmatched right now.

I like Meyer, not a top quality defenseman, but awesome depth non the less, best of luck to him on his recovery. P.S. I love this website CB! It's like the greatest thing that happened to the Islanders since the 80's!

They tried to trade him, and no one wanted him. He isn't that good. Just the facts. The Isles love Meyer so much they put him on waivers last year. They tried to trade him, and no one wanted him.

The other part says it was Milbury's disdain for all things Long Island Hockey. Remember he came in and shut out all the vets and Islander Legends from having anything to do with the team (if they weren't already in place). Many of them felt very slighted and angry with Milbury. When you see about how many times the beat the crap out of Milbury you can see why he disliked them but made no sense to have a fued with them. Anyway, Wang came in and made things right with the former Islanders which he deserves credit for. Hey, Beatle:

Hopefully this gives someone like Skinner a chance to show what he can do on the NHL level, albeit I don't imagine it will last all that long with the (hopefully) impending return of Martinek.

He is one of the guys we ned an upgrade with. The Gordon Tie thing is....OK they gave great effort and got a point but the other team got 2 so in fact not a tie! Still a very good effort and nice to see some edge to the team. Philly took far fewer liberties with us then most of the other teams. Be nice to watch Long Islander Mike Komisarik tomorrow and dream of him coming home if he makes it to UFA. I think if he becomes a free agent we have a good shot because of his friendship with Rick and desire to be near his Dad.
