I agree with Adam Proteau that Chairman Wang hasn’t made winning part of the equation. Wang values personal loyalty over competence or winning, which explains Mad Mike Milbury the Reign of Error and the paranoid Regime of the Back-up Goalie as GM of Garth Snow. The Isles are the North Korea of Sports (A unaccountable, closed and paranoid standings bottom feeding losers).

As for Adam Proteau’s slamming of the Isles in his book about the Friday Night beat down of the Penguins two seasons ago, I have a bone to pick. The main reasons for the was the disrespect heaped on by Penguins (along with the rest league’s media, teams and the Refs), all the un-penalized cheap-shots along with the laughing after Johnson’s one-punch re-arranging of DiPietro face. I am not going to lie, I did enjoy seeing a milquetoast team like Wang’s Islanders dishing out a big time beat down on a team that’s been crapping on them for years. For one night, the worm turned.

I like that you and Adam weren’t afraid to (respectfully) mix it up a bit and disagree on some issues. That’s when interesting dialogue happens. I thought Proteau’s book was a great read and put in very simple and accessible terms some complex ideas.
