Once again, Rag columnist/fan Larry Brooks takes a pot shot at our Isles in his column in today's NY Post. Brooks Article He basically calls getting eliminated in the first round "pulling an Islander" and teams that don't show up motivated to play they "become like the Islanders". Where was this putz the past 9 years when the Rags were the doormat, and especially the past 3 when we were in the playoffs and they were golfing by now. How I would like to punch this doofus repeatedly in the face! What is this guy, Jagr's personal ****sucker? |

he's a rags fan, what do you expect? |

Put the Cup Back in Our Lobby Where It Belongs

Larry Brooks is, in my opinion, and I have a pretty good memory on this, a fairly well-documented frontrunner. He used to kiss Islander in print when our team was winning Cup and rolling over opponents. So let's not say he's biased for the Rangers. Let's just say, ahem, that he favors whoever's on top at the moment.

This guy really is a dunce, schmuck, jerkoff, dickwad, any of the above. This is the bottom portion of his article from todays Post, written with the professionalism of a ten-year-old.
Notice the Lukowich dig? Bashing the former Islander, what a (insert name here). |

wow, he's not even a good writer. if that's his job you'd expect some skills but he lacks any skills possible that comes to writing. all he does is take cheap shots at other teams... typical rag idiot bullshit. |

The one thing I will say in his defense and in defense of other writers/broadcasters like him who cover this sport and get trashed by fans... he is a big hockey fan and perhaps he wants to spark contraversy to get the fans talking hockey. Think about it.

I'd rather play Lukowich 21 minutes a night than just about anyone that the rags have back on the blueline. |

It makes sense to me. Like they said about Howard Stern many moons ago, something like even the people who hate him listen just to see what he'll say next. People will read Brooks, Garrioch and others that write this way because whether they agree or not, it's something to talk about. Papers will hire them because it increases readership............. |
