Newsday started a new Web only feature today called "Islanders Insider" by beat writer Greg Logan.
It's another example of our commitment to unique Web content. You should read it religiously.
(I learned how to cross-promote from covering ESPN for more than two years now.)
Logan is one of a select few Newsday sports scribes ahead of me on the seniority list, based on the vacation week request e-mail sent out earlier today.
Gergen is No. 1, of course, followed by Jeansonne, Zipay, Logan, Herrmann and me. I believe I would be ahead of Herrmann if I hadn't taken that detour to Anchorage between my debut in the fall of 1982 and my return in the summer of 1985.
Sigh.

Covering the Islanders probably makes Logan wish he was still covering the Knicks.
how come the islanders do not have a fishstick night?
Seniority isn't all it's cracked up to be. Besides, when's the last time you didn't get all the vacation you ever wanted? It seems clear that your competitive nature has run amok. Isn't there a city in Alaska called Amok?
Too bad the Islanders extra is internet only ... can't wrap fishsticks with my computer .... on that note on Letterman's show earlier this week ... before he shaved his writers' strike beard ... the staff put him in a yellow rain slicker and hat ... and he did a mock Gorton's Fish Sticks commercial ... Dave looked a heck of a lot like a certain ancient mariner and the basis of that mid-'90's Icelanders logo ...
I was listening to the FAN morning show, Carlton does the updates, gives the B-Ball, Rangers.. and ignores the Islanders score altogether.
THis is a NY sports station right?
I know hockey is a minor sport these days, but if I can't get a score from the FAN on the Islanders, its hopeless.
