"Mike, how are you still the GM?!"

Always love coming back to this lol

this is how all sports radio hosts should be with their local sports teams. this is outstanding work by the hosts. it also is great work by milbury to make it a great interview. it would also help how teams interact with media rather than the soft balls being thrown at them by the homer wannabe sports hosts.

Meh. First off Mike and Chris could care less about hockey, much less the Islanders. Don't get me wrong, they were great. But it's really not all that brave to run the risk of alienating the Islanders, lol

Mike Milbury made Garth Snow look like Bill Torrey.

Wow. I miss this type of radio

Worst GM in the history of sports! And the coach he fired, goes on to win 441 games and a Stanley Cup. And Steve Stirling was a great replacement LOL. DiPietro picked #1 overall, traded Luongo, Chara, Bertuzzi, Mccabe, Tommy Salo, Chris Osgood. Signed Yashin to a 10 year contract. Total disgrace. Set the organization back 15 years.

This is classic! Russo was awesome when he wanted to go after someone and I give Milbury credit for sticking in. But Milbury was indeed a tool who missed the boast more often than not.

Mike and Chris were great. I miss listening to them on my lunch break.

This is how the mainstream media should act when they interview politicians and government officials. Surely we wouldn't be in the position we're in today.

"Your drafting is pathetic" Mad Dog buried this dude 😂

He traded Chara, Bertuzzi, McCabe, Brewer, Redden, Luongo, Jokinen, and traded away the draft pick that resulted in Spezza. He could've drafted Heatley or Gabrik. That team could've been a powerhouse in the Eastern Conference and compete with NJ and Philly in that division. This guy was a joke of a GM, and he's a bigger joke in the media.

Mr. Wang... lol

The problem was that Wong knew nothing about Hockey. Milbury was clueless and made terrible moves as GM but ultimately Wong needed to have solid hockey people around him to put a system in place. Terrible contracts all the way around screwed the organization for years. Lifetime contracts are un heard of in hockey unless you’re Wayne or Mario. Disfuntional organization after the 80ies dynasty.

They've had one terrible owner after another. Pickett stopped caring, then they had the gang of four who knew nothing, Spano was a fraud, the Swine line refused to spend any money, and Wang was clueless. After his first few years he refused to spend any money.

When you are an NHL franchise, you don't draft players so they could prosper on other teams. Torrey built his dynasty on homegrown players and bit the bullet for 2 years until they prospered. Millbury tried to win right away without thinking of the long term. In today's financial state of the game, it's impossible to keep an entire team long term

Milbury acquitted himself as well in this interview as bad as he was as a GM. That's a yuge backhanded compliment I know, but he actually handled this well.
