NHL "looking into" Isles Viewing Party [USA Today]
As unbelievable as this seems, it appears that the NHL is doing something. I have no words really. Read and react in comments.

it seems like the nhl will do anything to make the isles look like the bad guys
wake me up when the isles start to play

I was just about to post this.
1) they use the term “beat” wrong
2) the denote the previous “isle’s team meetups” this summer for other game rewinds
This is getting real old. We arnt celebrating a blood bath. It was an example of how hockey games are supposed to be played. Nobody says anything when this shit occurs at most Islander/Ranger games.
Im pretty sure Pittsburgh is just butt hurt bc the captain is still hurting in the head.
Fuck the penguins. How about the last home game of the yr when we SHOWED heart in a pointless game and tied with 30 seconds left. It possibly fucked us out of drafting Larrson. (The swedish penis enlarger) But we are bullies.
Lmao, anything in the CBA or League rules about this replaying games? lol
What a joke. The NHL makes themselves look more and more like a joke everyday. What a waste of their time. Many other things they should be policing and reviewing right now. I guess a lot of Pens fans complaining got this notice. Good to know that we can piss off Pens fans as a lowly bottom of the conference team with a bad beating on the scoreboard and on the ice. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the only things wrong with that game from the isles standpoint was the Gillies concussion hit and Martin not going at Talbot from the front. Other then that, that game was perfect.
I think the NHL
is “looking into this” in quotes. That’s what they say when they don’t care and want people to just shutup.

This sounds about right usually
Because usually when they look into something, nothing happens, or is it that the opposite of what should happens, happens?
Idiots.

You know what? I dont CARE- this is WRONG.
Who do these people think they are??
We arent allowed to sit in a fucking bar and watch a goddamn replay of our biggest win of the season???
The NHL should NOT have said they are “looking in to” ANYTHING.
The NHL team store replayed Boston/Vancouver finals games. There was a suspension there too. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?
Screw the NHL. Seriously.

I hate the NHL
I hate the way its run like a fucking joke!!
I hope, and suspect, you're right re: "looking into"
Either way, it’s still an unbelievable f#$%ing joke that they’d even comment on it.
For Daly to say “We do not approve of the use, based on what we know” is simply spineless. For Shero to even go on record about another team’s watch party — one of many held all summer — is fanning the flames of butt hurt.
Sorry the Isles hurt your feelings, NHL. Sorry they played by the unspoken rules since you time and again refused to enforce the written ones.
Gee, I wonder why fans of this team have have an “us vs. them” orientation…

My message sent to the NHL
I have read that the NHL is “looking into” the Islander viewing party of the 2/11/11 game with Penguins. What does that mean? What is there for the NHL to “look into”? Regardless of Penguin hypocrisy, Islander fans are proud of how their team stood up for itself as are the Islander alumni. The NHL should find better things to do with its time than wasting it by “looking into” an effort by the NYI to pump up its fans.
Welcome back
I can only imagine the BS that will go on if the NHL comes out and decides not to air the game. The “joke, disgrace” adjectives will in many minds be confirmed…which is why I think they won’t ban it.

I will post a BR piece soon
Proteau said that each team needs its own identity. He’s right. The Isles should look for theirs in WWII history. I’ve been thinking of a poem by the late journalist Frank Hewitt. It’s entitled “The Battling Bastards of Bataan” Think of some Islander appropriate lyrics:
We’re the Battling Bastards of Bataan,
No Mama, No Papa, No Uncle Sam,
No aunts, no uncles, no cousins, no nieces,
No pills, no planes, no artillery pieces,
And nobody gives a damn!
I’m assuming with this that on Snows Psych test you answered a well written poem over a well made gun.

Imagine
the fan/team building moment that would be available if the NHL declines to grant it’s “express written permission” to show the game. We can have a party at the NVMC with a blank Jumbotron and chant “Bettman Sucks” to the beat of something by Five for Fighting.

Crosby
I think this has to do with lingering concussion issues for Crosby
the league is likely worried more about legalities (they need to be seen as responding to the concussion epidemic)
and so allowing for glorified violence doesn’t cut it
much as that game was awesome
Screw that logic.

Crosby
Too bad Crosby wasn’t playing in this game. Did the NHL give a shit when DP was hurt??? They have been laughing about that since the seond it happened!! They really are leaving the Isles no other choice but to do this all over again. They are trying to take every bit of self confidence away from this young team by insisting that they are goons!! Screw Bettman, still holding a grudge about his adoration of Spano. Too bad that was his own fault, dumbass.

You might be right
The “optics” with Crosby’s lingering head issues probably point too uncomfortably to how the NHL is wearing no clothes.
And shame on the Islanders for targeting Penguins stars players who never fight like Talbot.

We, as fans, should see if we can get a DVD down there and watch it anyway!

Lets just spray paint and sledgehammer the coliseum until it really resembles what the NHL and every other media db wants to make us out to be!!! They want it?? let’s give it to them!!

Two things
A) It really pisses me off that not one of these articles (at least the few I’ve read anyway) mentions how the Isles have done this for the other re-aired games. One article mentioned how Martin struck Talbot from behind, which is just about as far from what happened as you can get while not exactly lying. There is no even keel, just a constant tilting of the table away from the Isles.
2) Kudos to Shero for his quote.

Who Cares
The NHL has more importance things to worry about than Islanders fans
Seriously….you know what this is about …..This is all about Sydney Crosby and the league being worried that he is still showing concussion symptoms. I wonder if they would look into the Caps and their fans if they had a viewing party of the “Winter Classic”.
LOL

sad thing is
I dont think the NHL realizes it was not the Islanders who caused Crybabys concussion lol
but heck why not blame it on the goons right?
What pisses me off about all of this the most is that it sends a message to all teams that it is ok to run players and intend to injure, as long as you are not doing it in retaliation. It scares me how little attention is given to the events that lead up to what happened that night. It scares me, but it does not surprise me one bit.

Shouldn't this article be titled...
“The NHL looks into the decision to Re Rerun the Isles vs Pens game”? That would be followed with a sure fire Onion-stylized news release of an NHL PR rep stating that they are shocked that fans are celebrating any game that was run over the summer. “We air these games for historical purposes only. We are outraged to learn that fans are actually watching these games for enjoyment of any sort. Moving forward we plan on only airing pregame and post-game content over the summer months to help prevent any interest from uprising.”

You either need a pill or an outlet where you can vent about NON-HOCKEY CONCERNS.
THIS is a hockey blog.
We discuss hockey here. Specifically, the NHL franchise known as The New York Islanders. We do this here, because we are fans of the team and the game of hockey on the whole.
I don’t know about the rest of the folks here, but I think they’re more or less a lot like me in this respect:

I suggest that there may in fact be some room between discussing hockey passionately and flying into a rage over some nebulous comment made in August by some pencil-pusher at the NHL front office that is perceived as an unconscionable slight against the poor (victimhood complex) Islanders.

Who (aside from Pengos fans) WOULDN'T want to see one of those laughing boys get his ass handed to him?
Friend of mine burned a copy of the game for me, I showed it to my dad and, while he’s not a hockey fan, he got a kick out of it, especially when I told him the back story.
Quote of the night, from my dad: “C’mon, Tough Guy! You’re last fight was a one punch knock out! You can take this guy!”
Of course, he was laughing hysterically as he said that.
Then he booed when it got broken up.
His follow up: “Who’s the Islanders guy again? Jesus! That guy looks like he could take both of them right now!”

Note on Godard jumping in...
Like I said, my dad’s not a hockey fan, but after Godard jumped in, he asked me “Hey! Don’t they have rules against that? That’s gotta be a penalty. You can’t just jump a guy who’s in a fight with another guy, can you?”
Not even a hockey fan and even he understood “Third man in”.
That’s when I realized just how big a joke NHL officiating really is.

Should be reserved for things that border on what’s way out. Watch cable and even regular TV and the limits are tested everyday. Its the classic cart before the horse example. The league condones violence and as an example encourages fighting, except it depends on who is doing the fighting and who is winning. and who is whining.
