Great Time with Frankie

Hey all, Alex here. Last night I made an appearance on Sports Talk Live with Frankie The Sports Guy and had a great time talking hockey with Frankie, who is a long time Isles fan. We discussed everything from the latest Chris Simon incident, to the offensive drought, and all the way to my personal experiences with the Islanders. My interview starts at around the 6:50 mark of the show due to some technical difficulties. Frank was also joined by Paul Kukla, another hockey blogger, who had a very interesting interview. Other sports guests were Mike Silva of Radio Gotham, Len Berman of News Channel 4, and Tom Pecora of Hofstra Basketball. It was an awesome night for Frankie and all of the guests.

Although it was an abbreviated 45-minute epsiode, Steve and Ken talked about many topics, mostly about the Islanders lack of offense and the currrent roadtrip the team is on. Of course, there were many great callers, IMers, and members of the HNLI chatroom.
