Question from Todd Bamberger: Who was your toughest player opponent in those playoffs? My son enjoyed watching Game 2 vs. the Bruins and Terry O'Reilly.
There is no question I had all I could handle with Terry O'Reilly, he played very hard for the Bruins and I have the utmost respect for the way he fought for his team.
Question from Nate Burneyko: Who was the toughest player you ever fought?
There were a few, Willie Plett comes to mind, O'Reilly of course, but there was a guy in Pittsburgh by the name of Bob Paradise that gave me all I could handle in the 1975 playoffs.
Question from Nick Russo: How Did It Feel To Win 4 Straight Stanley Cups as an Islander?
The four Cup run was the most amazing thing, to be recognized as one of the greatest teams ever - arguably the greatest - is something I will always treasure and talk about.
Question from Karly McKenna: Is there any meaning behind your jersey number 9? Or was it given to you?
I was a big Bobby Hull fan when I was growing up so whenever nine was available that was my number. I wore it in junior hockey and when I came to the Islanders Brian Spencer, who was wearing it, got traded so I was lucky enough to be able to wear it as an Islander.
Question from Ross Belkin: Who is the player who you hung out with the most?
I spent most of my time with Bob Bourne we were good friends through baseball and junior hockey and both being from Saskatchewan. It was a natural fit.
Question from Matt Koppelman: Which aspect of Al Arbour did you respect the most?
Al treated us like men, also Al being a former player himself knew when it was time to push us and when it was time for us to let loose a little bit. He knew each and every one of us inside and out.
Question from James Burke: In the 1980 playoffs, which opponent was more intimidating to play against: Boston in the second round or Philadelphia in the Final?
I think going into the Boston series we were going to be tested physically and we were, so when we got to Philly in the final they now knew what we were capable of physically, so it wasn't too bad.
