Mike Milbury and New York Islanders fans go way back. Mike was the Islanders fourth GM and was the original "worst GM in team history". Through eleven seasons at the helm, his Islanders teams made the playoffs three times.
He's also responsible for trading away future Hall of Fame players Zdeno Chara and Roberto Luongo as well as the Isles second overall pick in the 2001 draft, a pick that would become Jason Spezza.
So just o be fair, Mike Milbury isn't starting on the right foot when he's being broadcast into Islanders fans TV screens for nationally televised games with NBCSN.
