Comments on: A TRADE PROPOSAL FOR GREG LOGANIn response to his “team-sponsored” jab http://www.islanderspointblank.com/2008/10/a-trade-proposal-for-greg-loganin-response-to-his-team-sponsored-jab/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=a-trade-proposal-for-greg-loganin-response-to-his-team-sponsored-jab Independent, Daily Coverage Of The New York Islanders Sat, 11 Feb 2012 15:26:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Bryan http://www.islanderspointblank.com/2008/10/a-trade-proposal-for-greg-loganin-response-to-his-team-sponsored-jab/#comment-3569 Bryan Mon, 27 Oct 2008 18:42:25 +0000 http://www.islanderspointblank.com/?p=2156#comment-3569 I have to disagree pretty strongly with those claiming that the Ricky injury is a fake. I watched that game on TV with my girlfriend (who is not an Isles fan), and we both remarked that he looked hurt. His skating was off, he was slow to get-up and he was leaning on the net a lot. I wasn't surprised to see him on the bench in the 2nd. I have to disagree pretty strongly with those claiming that the Ricky injury is a fake.

Chris is doing an awesome job and this is the first place I go to when I turn on the computer. You will not find a more objective blog about a team anywhere on the net. Chris gives us insights and perspectives that no one else can match. I have learned more about the Islanders from Chris (in the short time that Bottas blog has been up) than I have from YEARS of reading Logans "articles". Greg is so busy being a fan that he forgets to ask real questions and to write interesting stories. "Last night the Isles were beat by the ,,,, and they had 60 shots on net" blah, blah, blah. Hey Greg, we know, we watched the game too. I also agree with people who say this is the place to get real information.

His articles aren't very creative and seem to be thrown together at times. He is passionate about being lied to but not very passionate about covering the team. I don't care if he's a suffering fan, SO AM I and I don't get paid to watch them! The injury thing is ridiculous. Yes they should disclose the timetable for how long a player will be out but who gives a crap what the injury is? How would knowing that help you in any way? Why would they give specifics of an injury when it could be used against them?! Talk to Belichick about this because he does the same thing to protect his players. Oh by the way Dipietro is on his way to get examined so Logans little hissy fit was a waste of paper. Why is everyone sticking up for Logan?

He covers the Islanders when it's convenient to do so and then gets mad when they don't give him full disclosure? What a jack ass. Greg, you are a writer for a mediocre paper, please stop taking yourself so seriously. My cat works harder than you. Logan is a putz.

Essentially... _Logan implies_: They gave more info to the team-sponsored blog. _Botta counters_: Hey, they sponsor your pub way more than mine. _End Result_: The club doesn't give a hoot about sharing injury info with either of their sponsor recipients, and we as fans all lose, because we cannot get basic (until this year) information about the product that we are buying. Completely bush league. Alas, completely NHL.

And even moreso now with that 20+ year cable tv contract. Without Cablevision's dollars, the Isles would moved on to greener, or snowier pastures.

It's mostly die-hards that pick up the paper to read about the Isles anyway. CB is just pissed cuz it was a shot to the credibility. I could see how its frusterating. Frankly, I just want up-to-date Isles news when I come here and that's what I get. Logan is on vacation 80% of the time.
