New York Islanders Modern Day Mickey Mouse Operation
After a 13-4 drubbing of the New Jersey Devils in 1984 a game in which the Edmonton Oilers scored at will, Wayne Gretzkly famously labeled the Devils a "Mickey Mouse operation on ice." But judging from a recent visit to Nassau Coliseum, the Great One could apply the tag to the modern day New York Islanders. Here are 10 reason why the Islanders could be considered Mickey...

The Core of the Bore
The Islanders can be summed up into 1 player: Andy Hilbert. Hilbert will put forth as much as effort as any player on the ice for the duration of the game. He will get countless opportunities to score a goal, but he can never seem to put the puck in the back of the net. That is the Islanders. A team of hard workers and grinders but no legitimate playmakers.

Meyer is Now a Thrasher, and Hilbert Returns
Well, Freddy Meyer has found a new home. After the Isles chose not to offer him a contract, the Atlanta Thrashers have done so. I believe it is a one year deal, though I did not see the terms written anywhere as of yet.
Freddy, to me, did a great job during his time on the Long Island. He might not be a top 2 or even a top 4 defenseman, but he used his skills and talents well...

Dee Karl: Hilbert? & A Hisey Fit
I know that a lot of Islander fans right now may be balking left and right over the news that came over the wire today that Andy Hilbert has been signed to a new one-year, 2-way contract. After leaving the Isles and moving on to the Wild, Andy spent a lot of time with their AHL affiliate. We are all under the impression that will be the case this season with the Islanders as well...

WHAT!! NOT AGAIN!!
I am pretty much getting a little frustrated with the Islander organization. I just don’t get them; maybe it is because we really do need a new arena or something. The Islanders in last couple of weeks have signed Jon Sim and also Andy Hilbert. Yeah you heard it right Sim and Hilbert. Even though it is a two way contract for both I just don’t believe this. We are the only team...

Dee Karl: Amazing Andy Goes Wild
For three seasons "Amazing Andy" (as a very SMALL handful of Islanders fans had called him) kept us waiting. Yep, we kept wishing and waiting for Andy Hilbert to finally come into his own. He'd have moments of brillance (maybe more like nano-seconds) and then lapses of lethargy. He'd have one great game and we'd think, "Okay! He found it!" and...
The Final Three
We take a break from Gretzky Week to report - get this - actual, real NHL news.As per the only person who actually reports on the Islanders, Greg Logan at Newsday, Garth Snow has narrowed down his list of coaching candidates to three. The lucky three are Bob Hartley, Paul Maurice, and Scott Gordon. While the first two are hardly surprising, the inclusion of Gordon on that list is...

Penguins Fall 4-2 in Weak Outing
The Pittsburgh Penguin lost to the New York Islanders on Saturday night at Mellon Arena by a score of 4-2 after giving up 2-goals midway through the 3rd period in a sloppy game. In a bit of irony, the tie-breaking goal was scored by rookie Blake Comeau who was called up when Islanders' forward Chris Simon was suspended 30-games for stomping on the leg of Penguins' forward...

This game represented the final two points that meant anything for the rest of the season.

Meet Dean McAmmond...
Last year, the Islanders made a huge mistake in not trading all of their potential free agents - Miroslav Satan, Ruslan Fedotenko, and Mike Comrie, to be specific. It turned out not to be a big deal with Comrie, because he re-signed on the Island and played this year as well. Satan and Fedotenko were big mistakes. GM Garth Snow needed to realize his team was going to miss the playoffs...
