With the Islanders back in Carolina for the first round, I am so happy to hear this man on the radio for the playoffs! He’s so good he makes Brendan look like Kenny as well as the whole ESPN staff. Chris became one of my favorite hockey announcers during both heartbreaking ECF losses to Dave Mishkin’s Bolts, and I can’t imagine Isles playoff hockey without this guy. Here’s to a hopeful Stanley Cup win to make up the last 40 years of mediocrity!

hes alright the screeching is a bit much sometimes though. brendan is much better.
An Islander gem. Super nice guy as well. Met him a couple of times at the golf outing.
His play by play is fantastic and you can hear he truly cares. It’s not just a job. Love Kinger.
a treasure!
I never feel like I’m missing much when I’m unable to watch MSG and have to go to the radio broadcast. ESPN broadcasts are radio days for me. Guy’s a pro, we’re lucky to have him
The kid I really like, Greg Picker. He’s really improved. Solid stuff from Greg most nights I hear him.
I’m not a king fan. His calls are great until he starts screaming then I’m tuning out. Just not my taste that’s all.
He’s got a face for radio and a voice for silent films. But his passion is unmatched. He’s the “Rudy” of play-by-play.
How can an Isles fan not love him. He is 100% an Islander fan. He’s one of us. He holds back none of that passion when calling a game.
Chris King and Greg Picker from the Islanders radio network. They do a great job every night.
