I Just wanted to apologize for allowing myself to fall into Murrays trap by signing that bogus petition…I ended up withdrawing my name…I figured you guys would like this…

Subject: “I am in support of you, Kate Murray”

Dear Kate Murray,
“I am in support of you putting in your resignation”…
I am not in support of what you are proposing…The more I think about it and educate myself about the situation, I learned that Charles Wang is losing over 20,000,000 every year for 9 years now…He can’t make a profit with a rebuilt arena…He was promised by politicians who begged him to save the Isles and he did with the promise that the area will be rebuilt…Now 9 years later , $75,000,000 later, he can’t wait any longer and needs to know whether or not he will be able to make this thing work, if he cant get the LH approved then he wont be able to keep the team at the Coliseum even a rebuilt one simply because he has lost so much waiting for this to happen and now he has to recoup his massive losses…He took these losses saving a team for you and me…You are trying to take everything away from Isles fans and you’re a criminal for what you’re trying to do to Wang…

Take my name off of that misleading and bogus letter and shove it you know where…You don’t deserve my support, you’re a disgrace to Long Island and need to resign now…

Respectfully,

PS. I better not find my name on that list

334 - That is what I thought. I think it is bad enough to try to get a new subscriber with that rhetoric, but to try to get an existing subscriber who would likely know that he is full of BS, was very disappointing.

CB- have you tried to submit your website to Google Adsense or something on that nature, they will place sponsered links (this way you wouldnt have to solicite them yourself) on your website, you get $$ when people click on thier link from your website. Could be worth looking in to

331 - If that’s what your rep really said, he’s misrepresenting. You should call and ask to speak with a manager and tell him what was said. I’m sure they don’t condone that kind of misrepresentation.

310- I saw them come in right at the end of the first period, yelling Go Habs Go all the way up to their seats. Well, it is what most of the people here seem to want, right?

Brian from Mass (248) - I called my rep with the same concerns and was told that all of the fine print and conditions that concern us do not apply to people who were already signed on for next year. He said the letter was poorly worded and confusing. I already toold him that I wouldn’t renew right away and would have expected to have several months off from paying for tickets. I also informed him that if this offering is gone after April 30th, then I’ll never renew. Let’s see some progress with the team next season and I’d think about it after the All Star, I mean Olympic break.

So I recently got a call from my ticket rep at the Isles and to me, what he said was irresponsible and to be honest, makes me think that they think we are all uneducated fans. Here was the comment….”We have some exciting packages for next season and now that we have the #1 picked locked up and the Lighthouse is virtually a go, things are looking up”. Do they think we are stupid? First off, if we had ZERO points on the season, we’d only have a 48.2% chance of the #1 pick as we all know. And second, I’d say it’s pretty clear that the Lighthouse is FAR from virtually a lock. Anyway, just thought I’d share.

CB, what’s going on with Dustin Kohn. I remember when he was one of the only blueline prospects we had. How is his progression coming, any chance at making the isles in the next couple years

(327) I’d say about 8-1, with Toronto in the lead.

Thanks to everyone who participated…CB

(324)… Even if it were “informal”, that is a great idea. Two parties instead of just one could certainly swing the vote toward making the trip. Hell, maybe just see if something could be worked out to head down to Doolin’s or over to Champions. Walking distance, good. Lack of decent walking distance options, another discussion for another time.

CB, what are the Vegas odds on signing Gilroy?

Thanks for all the offers to purchase subscriptions. That’s extremely generous. I think if I ever did something like that, it would be more of a “contribution” where for a nominal cost you would get something of value besides the blog in return. I don’t want to go to subscription or premium, because then some people get shut out. That’s the last thing I’d want to do. I’d prefer to make it that whomever is in a position to help out does, and leave it at that. I’m going to take some time to think about it and hopefully have a plan next week. Thanks again, everybody…CB
