Newsday: Bossy joining Hockey Night Live on MSG?

[SI90]

I have been told that Bossy will be joining Hockey Night live as the Isles voice by a few friends. Is this true?

Would love to have the Boss man rep us on there!!

Thanks for that. I've added the link to the OP and changed the prefix to Newsday.

Great to see, MSG will also be broadcasting the Barclays pre season game against the Devils

Very glad to see this.. Pretty sure I read he's going of he doing some isles telecasts as well.

Found it... Read it on Hornick's blog:

Bossy will appear on MSG's popular hockey roundup show "Hockey Night Live" on Saturday evenings and will also handle studio analysis for select Islanders telecasts on MSG+.

He's actually a great analyst. I've heard him speak a few times about the current team and he's very aware of what's going on. It'll be interesting to hear how he does full time.

Actually they will be broadcasting THREE exhibition games. I wonder if this is the influence of the new owners ? Bossy signed to the broadcast team and exhibition games being broadcasted. Also, I wonder if this is an audition for Bossy to join the booth with Howie ? Let's face it, Butchie is great in the studio, but awful in the booth. Maybe do a switch next season ?

I think MSG feels the Isles will have a good year? Also it is the last year that Coli. MSG has done a lot for the Isles this year, the upgrade to Shannon Hogan I am really excited about.

great news--bossy is always welcomed around these parts

about time we have some representation. I've never watched that show because it was all former rangers and devils

 

[stranger34]

Isn't he employed by the Islanders? is that conflict or a problem of any kind?

Actually, Ken Daneyko is always pretty respectful of the Islanders. Duguay doesn't bash them either. Billy Jaffe is on that show occasionally as well, I hope the Bossy signing doesn't mean he won't be on the show any more. Jaffe is one of my favorite hockey analysts.

I always thought the idea was to have someone with a stake in the team. Maloney/Duguay were both former NYR and Daneyko was a former NJD. Goring started off with MSG doing HNL.

Sure. I have nothing against those guys. But it was a disgrace the network that airs our games couldn't have one former Isles player on the panel.

 

[SI90]

Best thing about Bossy being there is hes a legend. The way they used to treat Buchie I think they come at Bossy with a bit more respect.

 

[Ziggy16]

daneyko is moving to the devils booth full time with cangelosi this year.. he wont be on the HNL panel anymore

 

[Symon Asher]

Will he be better than EJ Hradek?

With you on that. I didn't "not watch" but I always thought they could have put an Islander up there. Nothing against Danekyo, Duguay or Jaffe - who I like perfectly well, but having Bossy there makes it feel homier.

I would love to see Bossy on HNL. Pat Flatley was on a few times this season, but ever since Butchy left, there hasn't been any Islanders representation on the show. I hope this happens.

Boss is thoughtful and articulate. He'll be an asset to the show.

I thought Flatley was great between the glass.

Totally agree, I have watched and have Duguay or Maloney openly slanting for the Rags and Kenny D slanting for the Devils with little to nothing for the Isles, it makes it very difficult to watch.

 

[Kane One]

Wasn't Butch Goring the Islanders' representative after Jaffe left?
