well they did forget arbour's 740 banner which was supposed to go up this weekend... this ceremony was probably one of the lamest.. there was nothing special about it like previous ones were.. they do it better when they honor jsut 1 guy and not eveyrone at once b/c then theres nothing to do once u introdue them.. |

We outshot, outworked and outhustled a Panthers team with their backup goalie and managed zero goals in a must win. It doesn't get any worse than this, especially when it follows a "Core of the 4" celebration. I hope our greats were paid handsomely for their appearances or their charities were given some donation's for their taking the time to band together once again. That great dynasty was a great part of my teenage years but I truly hope the emphasis from here on in is going forward with building a winner. I know they care but they need results. Seeing Dave Langevins belly and bald head isn't going to ease the pain of the current funk but only serve as a constant reminder as to how long it's been. No matter how unique and special it was. The season is NOT over. But now, they have put themselves in a hell of a position where they have to win the next 3 to get their confidence back. Forget the one game at a time stuff. Desperation is no longer around the corner, we're crashing through it and it hurts. |

The team makes money off of their names, why shouldn't they get some jingle as well ? |

I would think it would be an honor to be invited back, being given a great weekend etc, would be enough. But I'm just asking. I never heard baseball players (except Joe DiMaggio) being given money to show up for an old timer's day. |

Valid point but this org has clearly been pimping these guys out to sell tickets etc for years now. |

What you say is valid. I wish it weren't so because after a while you become oversaturated with living in the past. |

In Garth I Trust

When you have a past like that, you never throw it away or forget it. From 1975-1984, the Isles were the epitome of what an organization should be and were the best run organization in sports. Can you name another team since 1970 in ANY sport that failed to make the final 4 of their sport only once in a 10 year period? Even the Atlanta Braves can't claim that. They are your team because your past is a part of you. I think the past celebrations have no effect on the current team. The current management just needs to do a better job...that's all. And we will have a very good idea how Garth is doing on that front come this year's draft with all the picks he's stockpiled. |

We need more Cup celebrations every year until those players go to hockey heaven. Otherwise our celebration would be Master Bates penalty shot Vs. Toronto Now lets bring out our guest of honor Shawn Bates Everybody look up at the screen to watch the infamous penalty shot. Where were you when Bates scored on that penalty shot. DP's interview on his thoughts of Bates penalty shot. Master Bates new Cadillac from The Islander organization Scatchard at the ceremony talking at the podium about Bates goal Darcy *ucker and Bates taking the ceremonies face off as Peca drops the puck. MASTER BATES :argh: |

Bring back...PRIDE OF THE ISLAND

correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe they count the number of tickets sold. Regardless of whether you show up. Its possible that they soldout for the weekend, but got a few noshows. |
