Two excerpts, on his time with the Isles:
<<I worked with awesome people at MSG Network, a wonderful production
crew, just the best. These guys, especially the Islander crew, is top
notch. They don't have a lot to work with, it's an old building, tough
arena to sometimes work out. It's intimate, it's a wonderful building
when a lot of people are there, but it's tough sometimes, physically to
do things there. You did the best you can, and I learned so much working with those people. Can't say enough about what the people at the MSG
television network are like.>>
and on the mini- Easter Epic:
<<Well, it was up there, exciting-wise. It was Sergei Brylin who was the
last one to go, and Wade Dubliewicz made the save, and then did the
light-sabres as I liked to call them with his stick. Fans from Long
Island still talk to me about when John Madden scored with like two
seconds left, I said "Oh no!" on the air. Most Islander fans love that. I remember Mike Bossy coming up to me and saying, "Oh my God, Billy, I
was saying the exact same thing when you said that." Look, there were a
few people that chided me for it and I loved that too, because they were Devil fans [laughs].>>
