The Lost Milbury Files: Bryan Berard
In the last installment of the Lost Milbury Files we went over the case of J.P. Dumont which started when the Islanders were unable to sign him to a deal. That is going to be a continuing trend for the first few of these. Inexplicably the Islanders organization would have the money to bring in...
The Lost Milbury Files: J.P. Dumont
Mike Milbury deserves to go down in the record books as one of the worst general managers of a sports team since Harry Frazee ran the Boston Red Sox. Milbury is one of the only GMs in NHL history whose name is next to two of the worst trades on many pundits' Top 10 lists: Roberto Luongo and Olli...
6 Stages of Dealing with News of Mike Milbury's Assault Charge
The news that Mike Milbury He Who Shall Not Be Named was charged with assault at a pee-wee hockey rink spread on the Web yesterday like a topless celebrity photo. Predictably, Islanders fans were not immune -- we've had four separate FanShots posted and it came up in multiple other threads here....

So, Tampa Bay is supposed to be the bad guy...
So Comcast has set the media narrative, as we've seen it on Versus since the 2011 NHL Playoffs when the Tampa Bay Lightning kept surprising the big-shots of the NHL: Guy Boucher is the villain, the 1-3-1 system is evil and bad for the game of hockey. Last night, the Philadelphia Flyers "stood up"...
Dallas Stars Daily Links: Lehtonen's Debut Earns National Praise
Dallas Stars fans and Chicago Blackhawks forwards weren't the only people who came away impressed with the performance of Kari Lehtonen in the Stars' season-opening 2-1 victory. Lehtonen, who had 37 saves on 38 shots and was just pretty all-around brilliant, was named NHL.com's No. 1 star of the...
Retro Live Blog: Roberto Luongo's 42 Saves in NHL Debut Nov. 28, 1999
NHL Game Center is a nice product if you need it, and one of its offshoots is "NHL Vault," an archive of old and generally noteworthy NHL games. For the Islanders there's quite a collection, ranging from the Cup clinchers you'll see on NHL Network each summer to games of little import other than...
Turning Points in New York Islanders History: Milbury Fires Darcy Regier
I try not to dwell on the Milburian era because it's old news and it was torture enough at the time, so apologies for that ahead of time. However, this came up in the GM tree posted at Copper & Blue (where the finest GM of them all is pictured in the kind of tie I can never pull off), so it had...
Midday Minutia - Coyotes Unlucky in the Postseason
Yesterday's Minutia dealt with the number 14. Today, we subtract one number and look at the number 13. A baker's dozen is the number of games the Phoenix Coyotes have won in the playoffs since their arrival from Winnipeg back in 1996. This means team is averaging less than 1 playoff win per...

It's always tough breaking down how GMs did, especially from different periods of time. Today you not only have youtube and much larger media coverage of prospects, but there are fans dedicated to following the ups and downs of youngsters year round. We're beginning this trek in 1990 when there...
