Real funny,interesting sense of humor Brett.Looking foward to seeing what Gordom can do in the future maybe with some more talent so we can eliminate that excuse for why the team stinks.

Seriously “jim” grow up, you’re acting like some caddy HS girl who didn’t get all the votes for prom queen. I don’t know any guys that act or talk the way you do. Clearly you are here for one reason an that is to start problems.
If you don’t Like the Man and have an issue with him? then stop pretending to be someone you’re not and face the guy like a man instead of this nonsense.
We who post here daily love this blog an appreciate all this man does to bring us up to date on what’s what an who’s who.

Jim,

CB was wrong. However, these Town Hall meetings were to tell us that the team would suck. That’s a fact. The two year season ticket plan was intended to tell us that the team would suck. If you doubt that, then you’re to damn gullible. It was put out there for all to see that the team would suck. CB thought otherwise and he turned out to be wrong (although the injury factor had to be more than what anyone expected). BFD. Calling him “mouthpiece” or “Chrissy” is uncalled for. Growe up or frequent the Newsday blog with the other adolescents.

@ DougF (#63) – I love how you think. If the Isles actually DID pull off all that, I’d legally change my name to Garth Snow’s Prison Girlfriend.

My take on this years team:
Think of all the injuries, the INSANE amount of man games lost. Put Ricky D in, Sutton, Weight, Silly, and every other guy who lost 8-10 games. We woulda been challenging for a playoff spot- no question. Would it have been in the best interest of the long range forecast to be challenging now? Of course not. With that said, next year might not be as bad as some of you are saying. Lets keep up the faith!!

Kevin, Snow should be given a pat on the back for re-signing him to the contract extension last summer.

Swan, well said. As an Isles fan for almost 30 years, living in Toronto, CB has provided all fans with great insight and information regarding this team and should not be criticized for it.
People will always agree or disagree with his views, but to those, do it with a little class.
There is no site out there that provides Isles fans with great information that CB gives us. Maybe instead of ripping him, he should be complemented and thanked by all Islander fans!

Just a funny story I was just told.
While they were in Tampa last week, while Joey was sitting out, watching the game. He was being heckeled by a very intoxicated fan, sitting only a few seats behind. Joey took it for a long time and finally the guy crossed the line. Joey got turned around to say something and saw that it was acutally one of his best friends from Pitou County. A number of his buddies flew down to see Mac and Sim play, however they both rode the splinters for the game. Pretty funny story…Mac took a lot of abuuse I was told.
