Fish Sticks: The Fall and Rise of the New York Islanders

Once upon a time, the New York Islanders were the embodiment of greatness: four-time Stanley Cup champions and a model franchise in the National Hockey League during the early '80s. The dynasty quickly crumbled, however, and the team found itself in a seemingly never-ending freefall. One embarrassing episode after another befell the once-mighty Islanders: Kirk Muller balked at being traded to the team; the team's classic logo was replaced with one that was vehemently ridiculed, earning the team the nickname "Fish Sticks"; a slick con artist managed to buy the team with nothing more than his charm; the team failed to make the playoffs seven seasons in a row as miserly owners purged players salaries; Hall of Fame great Bryan Trottier feuded with the team and blocked the retirement of his jersey; embattled general manager "Mad Mike" Milbury couldn't do anything to get himself fired. Yet, having finally hit bottom after enduring countless trials and near-unbelievable tribulations, the team has begun its climb to the top. New owner Charles Wang has brought not only a desire to return the Islanders to their place of pride, but also the money to do it. The team experienced a remarkable resurgence during the 2001-02 season. Ticket sales have skyrocketed since that breakthrough success, with the team expecting to fight its way back into the playoffs for a second straight season.

4Great Read  Jan 07, 2010
By Freddie "Freddie"
This book was thouroughly enjoyable. Considering I'm not an Islander Fan, (Go Rangers), I found it interesting to understand the logic behind the decision making of a GM (Milbury). I felt there were behind the scenes antics going on which were described in this book that you would not read or hear in day to day following. Good read for any hockey fan.

4A VERY ENTERTAINING READ  Jun 21, 2008
By COOL JEWEL
FISH STICKS IS ABOUT THE RECENT FALL BUT RISE AND FALL AGAIN HISTORY OF THE NY ISLANDERS. IT IS PRETTY ENTERTAINING AND ENLIGHTENING. A BULK OF THE BOOK IS ABOUT THE TRANSACTIONS, OPINIONS, AND LANGUAGE USED BY SUPER EGO MIKE MILBURY. (PLEASE SOMEONE MUZZLE THIS IDIOT)
I RECOMMEND THIS MOSTLY FOR ALL ISLANDER FANS AND FOR SOME DIEHARD HOCKEY FANS. WORTH THE READ.

3Pity- I liked the fisherman logo  Oct 14, 2005
By Ed Smith
As one of the few who thought the fisherman logo was cool (and I'm not even an Islanders fan), I was hoping this would give me some info on that, but it barely gives any. Is anyone willing to sell a jersey with the fisherman logo? I'd love to have one of those. Good review of the Isles.
