Seeing a few posts from
#isles
fans about how expensive UBS is, how difficult it is to get there, train schedules, etc. Oh how quickly we forget that the team was almost shipped to Kansas City.
Iโve had a chance to reflect on my position about the booing of John Tavares. I tried to put myself in his position and also considered all the arguments. And after much deliberation, Iโve come to the conclusion that Tavares deserves it. FTG
Letโs go Islanders!!

I know some of the younger fans see
@91Butch
as a funny sidekick on the
#isles
broadcasts, but may not realize how integral he was to those cup teams. He was a beast on the PK. His tenacious play gave opponents literal fits.

Iโve been against the mandates from the beginning. I cringed when I witnessed friends wiping down their groceries. The fear instilled in people was unnecessary. Almost all โguidanceโ in the first year has been proven wrong and ineffective. But god forbid we question โthe expertsโ
Also calling out
#isles
โfansโ who wonโt go to games because the team isnโt winning. Youโre not a real fan if this is why you donโt go to games!
Just saw a post on FB by

and I agree. There is only one home game against the Rags this year. If youโre going to sell your ticketโฆ.sell to an

fan! Please retweet this to get the word out!
Seeing mixed reactions on here to Beau scoring for VAN. I say good on him. Heโs a great guy. Never ever heard a negative word from him. Showed up to play every night. Maybe the change of scenery was exactly what he needed.

I finally got around to putting these in frames. Theyโve been in a box all this time. Not in great shape. One even has a coffee stain from being on the kitchen counter before I rescued it.

A few years ago at Barclayโs in Brooklyn, I was walking through the concourse. I heard a voice behind me say, โhey nice jersey!โ It was Mike Bossy. I had his 22 on. I turned and shook his hand and said, โlove you man.โ RIP Mike ๐ฅ
15,000 fans at MSG last night and the
#isles
were only allowed 9,000??? Where is the science that backs up this discrepancy? So effing stupid. OPEN UP THE COLI 100%
A couple weeks ago, I got shit from Isles fans for saying a win wasnโt a gutsy win. That night the team was short handed and won against at team they should beat. WellโฆTONIGHT was a gutsy win. Prove me wrong!

Going to the home opener with my son, who almost didnโt make it because of emergency surgery the day prior. He told me, โDad, I am going to that game even if they have to wheel me in on a stretcherโ ๐
Tonight in Charlotte NCโฆ.representing the Islanders. Always having a great time no matter the final score.

Yes thatโs me down front with the Ronnie James Dio devil horns ๐

Just a random
@RobinLehner
thought. When the
#isles
signed him, I thought weโd be getting a good goalie with a bad attitude. What we really got was a great goalie with a huge heart and all around awesome guy.
Back to your regularly scheduled programming....
Finally relaxing after a wild night in Raleigh for Josh Baileyโs 1000th game. Could not have been any more perfect.

@NHLPlayerSafety
Too little too late. Should have gotten the same penalty all the other players suffer when they hit someone in the head....5 minutes and GM.
@nickhirshon
Dale Hunterโs attack on Pierre Turgeon. Who knows what could have been with a healthy Turgeon the rest of that playoff run. Iโll never get over it.
I love how Dobson is progressing this year. He clearly worked on a few things in the off-season. However, why do fans and โexpertsโ continue to use offensive stats as the sole qualification of how good a defenseman is?

@THATJennCheng
So sorry for your loss. What you experienced was awful and wrong. Iโm flying up to see my parents and family for this very reason. Take advantage of every opportunity to see your loved ones.

#isles
fans at the game in Tampa. What a great night! Proud to have organized that group and miss every one!
The other night I tweeted that the
#isles
were losing me.
Itโs like the hockey gods were listening to me! I have no idea how this will play out, but at the very least we have a new direction from a coach who we all know HATES to lose.
@MarkDParrish
One of the reasons I have your jersey is because I loved the way you battled on the ice. I noticed your absence from Twitter and wondered if you were ok. I'm so glad you're doing better.
