[NYI365]

Thoughts? My guess is expanded radio coverage on WFAN but honestly who knows.

My money is on a new Honky-cam.

TV eventually moving to SNY?

Interesting idea, but the islanders contract with MSG runs until 2030.

 

[SI90]

More coverage period would be good. Like instead of MSG2 showing beginnings of Derek Stepan for the millionth time they show an isles event that's being blacked out.

Has to be this. Cannot even think what else would warrant a teaser-Tweet.

Maybe the announcement is less games on TV. If you wanna see the ielses when they're at home, you have to come to Barclays. Similar to what they did in Chicago back in the day.

 

[A Pointed Stick]

What, will they put a post in my living room in front of the TV for home games?

Man, I would LOVE that, hate playing 2nd and sometimes 3rd fiddle.

Maybe MSG gives the Isles a dedicated channel, like MSG2 or 2+. It'd be nice to always be on 1 channel and not have to go on safari to find whatever dump channel they throw them on when they decide to show 3 Rags and 2 Devils feeds at the same time.
Not being on a freakin' college radio station would be nice too.

I wouldn't call any radio change a "big" announcement. How many people would really be affected by a change in radio coverage?

 

[nycole]

Everyone has to watch the game on their phones!

 

[A Pointed Stick]

They will skate on REAL ice?

 

[MetsJetsIsles22]

hopefully every single game will be aired in HD....somehow that has yet to happen...i could not care less which station it is on as long as it doesnt look like tv in 1990

I was hoping Butch and DP would change places, but Shannon said Butch and Brendan will be bringing us games all season long, so obviously it's not that.

I don't think Shannon would be privy to personnel changes. I also don't think they would have a tweet for something like that. I imagine it's the radio thing...still not worth a tweet lol.

 

[Riseonfire]

Something about streaming all Islanders games on Twitter. That's my guess.

The end result of that was fans violently jeering through a moment of silence when old man Wirtz died.

 

[PK Cronin]

I'd be thrilled if WFAN carried the games. I could actually listen to it in the car. That other nonsense doesn't travel as far south as WFAN does.

I'd say sign me up for that, but alas it will not be the case.

Would they call it the Barclay's Channel, lol. Hate playing on a channel named after the arena that our biggest rival plays in.

It wouldn't make up for them getting rid of the Mets and replacing them with the pinstriped scum and their human irritant of an announcer and ruining my summers. But it would be a start.

 

[LordNeverLose]

Is it too much to hope that they will announce they aren't renewing their deal with MSG and will be broadcast on some other channel that doesn't fap to pictures of Henrik Lundqvist showering?

My money is on a new Honky-cam.

Or maybe they'll film from the obstructed view area to give fans at home the full authentic Barclays experience.

That's not a bad idea. They can lower the price of the cable package if you order the 'obstructed view' channel. You know, for those on a budget.
