More likely a few underwhelming years in the AHL and then on the Europe.....fewer games and bigger ice, where his ability to dangle might mean something.

If Josh Ho-Sang posted on this board I have a feeling it would look exactly like this.
Everyone else's fault. He shouldn't have to earn anything. Blah blah.
That's why he'all never play.
People hate on him because he is a primadonna and difficult to deal with. This dates back to his time in AAA. You think that him showing up late for training camp, getting healthy scratched for antics in Bridgeport and Hockey Canada and Spitfires wanting to forget they ever dealt with him is just other people not liking him for sounding like a robot?
I guess you think a concept of accountability is ridiculous. That sounds like letting the inmates run the asylum and an easy way to create massive dissatisfaction throughout a dressing room.
thats right because there are no " primadonnas" or head cases or plain crappy attitude players in the nhl
There are, but Ho-Sang is the gold standard of one for a modern day OHL player from people around the league. That is a hell of an accomplishment.thats right because there are no " primadonnas" or head cases or plain crappy attitude players in the nhl

We haven't had confirmation, but we believe this is just an 'paper' move and that Ho-Sang is still traveling to the team to Dallas. Could very well play Thursday.
Given Ho-Sang's history, that would be quite a gamble for a team that still has a legitimate shot at the playoffs. Does Garth Snow think his job is in jeopardy if the Isles don't make the playoffs, and this is his swing-for-the-fences move? Just having him on the roster is a risk.
Bit of a head-scratcher.
Not if you've seen his recent play. Was just named AHL rookie of the month and a huge reason (along with Halak) that Bridgeport has gone red hot. Too soon to tell, of course, but it could be that he's figured something out.
It actually isnt at all... He's been tearing up in the AHL recently and if he can produce it will certaintly help.. giving it a shot for a game or two is a potential low risk high reward scenario, not a head scratcher

I hope he wears 66 just to spite the Penguins
It's amazing how upset it gets them lmao
I wonder if Boston fans hate all defenseman who wear #4? Lol
My guess is somebody higher up will decide it's better to give him a more "normal" number just to not get him any unneeded attention, but him wearing 66 would be funny
If he does decide to wear 66, I will tune in to the Penguins telecast when the Islanders play them next just to hear their announcers whine and complain(I generally avoid them like the plague because I can't stand them but hearing them whine about something so stupid would be hilarious)

I've literally only seen Islander fans talk about how upset Pens fans get. I have never seen a Pen's fan write anything about it. Is this real or what?

Looks like it was classified as an "Emergency Callup". I.e. The Isles didn't have enough healthy forwards on the active roster.

Very solid NHL debut. His offensive instincts,stickhandling,and playmaking are high on the charts. He made good reads and even drew a Penalty. Wasn't a liability in the defensive zone. Played hard and didn't make any noticeable mistakes. All in all I'm very pleased with JHS in his first NHL game. Looking forward to more.

Agreed, even watching That's Hockey they pointed it out and criticized him for his choice. If it's not retired, I don't see a reason someone can't wear it if they aren't on the Penguins.
