YOure all right about the game being great. I should rename the headline to worst opening day ceremony ever. Guarantee all of you commenting about my complaint about the opening are all of those fans who havent been at every single opening night, have never been a season ticket holder, and have no knowledge of anything about the team before the series against the penguins.
What will an end of the year fanfare do for the team if theres no playoffs? What will it do for a team that could be eliminated by then. How can any of you argue my point that the Islanders should have had guys like Bossy and Nystrom or anyone who have been a part of the team when they were at their highs to relive the prominence of the team and to get the current team and fans motivated to reach that level again. Youre telling me a pregame ceremony with the alum to get the team to remember what happened in this building is me being a complainer? All of you who have commented are worse than rangers fans. For 28 years ive consistently followed the team whether we were good or bad, been at every opening night, and have never strayed from being a fan or had to come back because suddenly theyre in the playoffs again. You are all a joke for even thinking that it was ok that nothing was done. Player introductions forgotten, the history of the team should have been in attendence or done something to get the team and crowd ready to push for leaving the building on top.. Honestly though i dont know why I expected any different.. It was all of you fans who voted against the tax raise to keep them on the island.
Wrong on so many different levels.
