Hey Islander fans. What do you get when you complain and complain about how much we hate having Al Rag-pig and Stan Fishbreath as the pre-game announcers?

Thats right......No Pre-game show. This will now be the 6th home game in a row that there is no pre-game show. That is what we get for voicing our displeasure with the hosts.

Thank you Mr Dolan :moon: :moon: :moon: :moon: and GO :finger: YOURSELF!

That's a surprise and not a surprise. Not a surprise because MSG will do anything to screw the Isles, a surprise because it seems we are only worthy of a pre-game if the Rags are playing the same night and they can add us to theirs, and the Rags are playing tonight.

We are better off without one then getting aggravated with those two morons.

I've been just listening to the pre-game show on Bloomberg radio. There's no reason Deb & Butch can't do 10-15 mins of TV pre-game except for Dolan & MSG's cluelessness. It's not like they're overworked. But I don't miss Trautwig & Fischler talking mostly about NYR/NJD during the Isles pre-game.

Dolan has sucked the life out of MSG. I was there on Thursday and the place was so quiet and antiseptic it was hard to notice the rivalry. This was all due to the corporate seats sold and this was with NYR winning.

didn't the season start without pregame shows?

They announced this before the season started. We would have less pre game shows, but we now get post game shows which we never got. I'd much rather have a post game show every game.

Hey guys, try Center Ice. NO PRE OR POST GAME WHATEVER.

It starts at about two minutes after the hour and ends about one minute after the horn.

BUT, at least you see the game.

yeah, exactly...
and they cannot even claim anything about the ratings either.
the differential is not that significant.

This new pre-game "hockey night" crap is just another slap in face to isles and Devs fans as well.

I noticed the dif in Fischler from day one.

having the MSG corporate stamp on that show kills it.

And to think the guy almost bought the Islanders in 1990. We are lucky---even with the decade we had to ensure before Charles Wang came along, we're lucky.

The silver lining here is that Dolan's cable deal is what kept the Islanders afloat for many terrible seasons. Really the franchise's most valuable asset, aside from goodwill, through many seasons. As reported, the original terms were ludicrously lucrative for the Islanders through the mid-1990s---a portion of gross or net revenue from the entire Sportschannel network, which kept expanding with its acquisitions and buyouts. I believe Spano and others would up extending and renegotiating it (arguable whether he actually possessed actual or apparent authority to do so) but it's kept the team on LI. Yes, the lease helped, but a lease doesn't keep you from going bankrupt. $17M/year in broadcast rights sure does.

So don't let the broadcast team bother you. We pay half our roster with Dolan's cash, and he can't be making a lot of money running Lotto ads and showing us Earl Monroe in HIP ads eight times an hour.

Yeah... that HIP commercial sure is a downgrade from last years' version....

It was much more entertaining watching the chunky girl with weird teeth and stubbly armpits shooting hoops 8 times an hour!

Come on, none of those commercials are as bad as the jewlery one where the guy gives his girlfiend/wife some piece of jewlery and she runs around screaming while he continues to speak. It's on every single break, and in fact it was on twice in the last break. Worst ever.
