Chris,

As previously stated the blog is outstanding. I’m glad there have been no uprising as of yet (that we know of) from the Isles about you being a tad bit too independent (read – critical.) Your brutal honesty coupled with your proximity and understanding of the machinations of this team make this a must read, and the number one source for unfiltered, fair and balanced Isles news (I think I just compared you to Fox News – sorry.)

Sadly I can’t attend Point Blank Night because I will be traveling in Denmark and Sweden next week. I’ll see if I can bring the hits in those locales up a little.

Again, keep up the good work!

It’s great to hear that the blog is doing very well. With your previous 20 years of experience working for the Islanders and the numerous amount of people you know in hockey circles, you are a very well respected source of information ragarding Islanders hockey. Your willingness to share this knowledge and information with us fans is greatly appreciated.

Instead of giving away all your secrets about your unique experiences with the Islanders here in the blog, have you considered writing a book? I would think it would prove financially beneficial to you. I think Alan Hahn did pretty well with his two books.

Lastly, how is the parking availability near Gabrielle’s? Do you need a resident parking permit to park in the municipal lots?

hey chris just want to let you know that i truly love and appreciate this site. i think the isles as an organization are finally starting to understand that there still is a living breathing fan base, and you need to address them. in comes pointblank and who would think that the islanders would have bragging rights for best internet coverage in the NHL? i am drop dead broke and living day to day so i haven’t been able to get to the NVMC once this year, but i have been able to check this site several times a day. i can’t thank you enough for the insider info i’ve gotten and to know that there’s MANY fans who feel the same way as i do. lets build smart, keep this team on long island, and let’s start the journey to 5!!

Has anybody noticed that on the Islanders’ website the link to the blog has been moved down from where it originally was? It’s much less prominent on the site now. Could this be because Point Blank’s coverage of the team is much better and more popular than the official team site?

Chris,
Dominick here from Wake Forest, NC.
Don’t know why your suprised at the hits. We the People of Islander Country (and the hockey world for that matter) love your opinion and point of view. You say what I think and feel, only the words you choose are a thousand times better than anything I can ever come up with!
Maybe the NHL Network can offer you a daily spot! Keep up the great work & Thanks.

The Blog is wonderful. One suggested topic, if I may. Your thoughts on Mike Milbury. I’m just curious as to what a former insider thinks or thought about him. From afar the guy struck me as a huge Phoney and BS Artist. Sort of like the lead character in “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.” A weasel. How did he have Wang’s trust and loyalty for so long? Inquiring minds want to know.

CB, this is a definite stop on my blog route during the day. One suggestion? Broaden the scope of the blog. Always remain Islander-centric, but i actually enjoy your Tuesday post the most. Bring more of the funny. Let your personality come out a little more. Oh, and bait the Ranger fans so they can tell us about their great attendance some more.

@CB

No, they haven’t. And, personally, I don’t care. He’s out. When (if) he gets close to coming back, let me know. How will you know when he’s coming back? He’ll be practicing for all to see.

@Islanders 360
To this degree, I do agree with you. But there’s a huge difference between a hang-nail and a career-ending injury.
