[YearlyLottery]

So cringey.

that entire fan base is nothing but cringe

lol. To be fair I do not think there is a single Islanders fan who did not think the people in the video were losers.

There are some whispers that Wahlstrom might be placed on covid protocol now

And Joe trying his best with the Mono Sodium Glutamates Network propaganda…”this is what they do Sam…they play hard… blah blah…”

Since it's the day before the holiday, I'll go and say it: if you're not cooking with MSG you're missing out.

 

[huerter]

Joe is tolerable except for the fact that he has not adapted to the modern game, which is a pretty big drawback.

I had some Chinese food for lunch.

Joe will always be an Islander guy to me. He doesn’t add much analysis to the broadcast. He’s just sort of there and says some generic stuff sometimes. I’ve been waiting for a new sidekick for Sam since Joe showed up. I love the Mets booth and enjoy the Knicks broadcasts but Joe detracts from the Rangers game watching experience.

100%, he just talks to fluff. He really adds nothing to the NYR broadcast. He was actually better on the national broadcasts with NBC. Not sure if it is a Joe problem or an MSG issue but it/he sucks...

 

[Kravtsov420]

Honestly I wish they got a recent player to do it with Sam, maybe Callahan idk something of that ilk

 

[Matt Rentfree]

I get to roll this out once a year.


Selfishly I wouldn't mind the game being canceled. Don't need to be hearing from their fans saying we beat Bridgeport. I'm going miss it because of driving back to NY.

Better than their fans gloating because Bridgeport beat us.

 

[duhmetreE]

I’ve actually lost excitement for the game.

either end up pissed we lost or we best an AHL team.

I guess if the kids tear it up, I’m happy. A Laf, Kakko and Chytil coming out party. Give them all 20 minutes

 

[leetch99]

Joe is just terrible

They both are . Forslund would be great I think . Team has lots of money....hire decent announcers PLEASE .No WOMEN !!! Interview hostess is acceptable....broadcasting NO WAY !!! Get whoever is the best out there .

 

[chaz4hockey]

True story. I work in the hotel business and one of my hotels hosted the Rangers when they play at the Hurricanes. I stayed on the same floor as the team. Sam and Joe stayed at the hotel too. This was when Joe was still new calling games for us.

Umstead?

Warming up the boomer takes for Thanksgiving?

Warming up the boomer takes for Thanksgiving?

Uhh..we don't get the "Boomer takes" in Canada . So...there is that. Plus we already had our Thanksgiving in Canada !

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

Umstead?

Yup. I worked for its hotel brand and was friends with the Revenue Manager. He got me the tickets and set me up with a comp stay. Great hotel. Rangers lost that night. I sat in the lobby with my wife and in our Ranger jerseys as the team dejectedly proceeded through the lobby and to the elevator. No one would even make eye contact with us.

I made friends with the travel manager for the Rangers and Knicks and they had me over twice a year for a Rangers game. I set up stays for the families of the players when they visited Manhattan for a game. I would be really impressed if you could guess which hotel it was in NYC where they stayed. I have since moved to a new company and do less work with MSG now.

 

[Chytilmania]

"Alexis Kakko skating really well at practice."

Idk why this made me think Mika Bananabread

 

[Kovalev27]

Well no question the optics are that we need to win this game will look bad if we don’t.

isles still have their fourth line their number one center and winger. Their third line center and their goalies.

so this won’t be easy if they play their system

but we should put a nail in the coffin tonight

Not sure when you did that job...but by chance , have you ever dealt with Jim Rankin from the Blue Jackets ? He was a Doug MacLean hire . I'm pretty sure that is almost the same job he did for them. Probably retired a few seasons ago . Great guy !

 

[Kravtsov420]

Yea so what’s the reference game tonight. Hairy Potter ?

 

[chosen]

“But look at their record” for like a 10 game sample size spread over 3 seasons was always the dumbest argument. College coaching logic not starting your stud goalie against a division rival.

Kind of like in the 1st game this season.

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

So cringey.

that entire fan base is nothing but cringe

They are nothing but sewer rat losers who bandwagoned in the 80s and have an intense little brother complex.

got me on the NYC one. Umstead is a great hotel to stay at when visiting Raleigh.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Were the Isles apologizing for beating a decimated Vegas team?
