I understand he gave a very amusing narration with many expletives while the tape was being shown. Were you present at this media briefing? What was your reaction at the time? Did you take any heat for what Mike did? Thanks very much, Chris.

He played quite well under Gordon, and scored on his first 3-4 NHL shots. Totally failed in Minnesota. Showed so much promise, and would drop the gloves. Any chance the isles would take a look at him? CB- former providence bruin petr kalus is now playing in europe. He played quite well under Gordon, and scored on his first 3-4 NHL shots.

Jim Fri, 14 Nov 2008 21:44:38 +0000 http://www.islanderspointblank.com/?p=3024#comment-6813 That is the worst photo of Mick Vukota ever. Question: What is the deal with Colin Campbell? Does he harbor a personal vendetta against the Isles? It sure seems like it. 25- and 30-game suspensions to Simon, a slap on the wrist to Pronger. Two games to Ruutu earlier this week for a flying elbow, five games to Pock for what looked like accidental contact. That is the worst photo of Mick Vukota ever.

He's thinking about trading one of the best young players in the league (Luongo) and another kid taken very high just a few years before (Jokinen) for......(I can't even type it, it's so painful). What's going on through CB's head? Did the power of Mad Mike seduce you like a lot of other people? Also, it's pretty hard to deny that the series of events at the 2000 Draft set this team back a decade and would appreciate any nuggets on this seminal events in Islanders history.

Personally, I always saw Walter and Neilson as similar centers competing for the same job, whereas Nokie seemed like he'd be more of a Sillinger-type checking center who could fill a different role. From that viewpoint, I never understood the point of the trade...I guess it was the pick that was thrown in? Speaking to Walter though, I thought last year he earned more minutes than he received during his short stay. Seemed fairly poised out there. Thanks for the answer CB.
