Is it spring training yet?
The NYI facebook page was plugging the $18.87 tickets for tonight or whatever the price is. As you can imagine some funny comments followed. Someone asked if the price was based on DP's GAA. I asked if they were going to have a promotion where they pay the fans to attend. I went back to check if anymore people had posted and they deleted all of the comments (well the negative ones). I really feel bad for the NYI ticket reps.

I liked the Isles Tweeter feed question last night for free tickets to the panthers game on Saturday.

Quote:
 
Beside Capuano, what 3 NHL head coaches (hired since May) were also AHL head coaches in 2010? #Isles #IslesTNT


The answers that one the tickets were:

Quote:
 
The 3 AHL coaches hired since May were: MacLean - NJ/Lowell, Boucher - Tampa/Hamilton, and Arniel - CBJ/Manitoba. #Isles #IslesTNT


Talk about spin control, trying to make it seem like everyone is using AHL coaches.

Now I thought I was quite in my response asking what 3 coaches were hired with NHL experience since May but later had the Isles stats guy tweet me back telling me Cappy had NHL experience . I forgot he was an assistant during Stirlings last year in 05/06.

James, you should have tweeted back

John MacLean had what 5? years experience as a DEVS assistant in the NHL!!!!

Scott Arniel was a friggen NHL assistant with the Sabres for a few years!!!!

Guy Boucher is the ONLY exception. But look at the ESTABLISHED NHL talent
on that team.


Gosh we have morons in our org.

Here's what I sent in -

Quote:
 
@NYIslanders 3 of the coaches hired since May had NHL experience Ramsay/Bos,- Renney/NYR & lets not forget MacLean asst coach NJ 7yrs #Isles


Again not remembering that Cappy had been an assistant for 1 year on a bad Isles team...Stirling was fired and Brad Shaw was the interim coach. Speaking of Shaw guess who's an assistant for those pesky St Louis Blues.

Good stuff James.

I never respond on the NYI facebook...I just read and laugh. We have some very funny fans who vent away.
Some is a little too crazy and gets deleted but for the most part it's hysterical.

Oh I hear ya Steve, I never comment on facebook but this was such an obvious PR move to try and make people feel ok about the AHL guy replacing the AHL guy.

Either way, I'll be there tonight rooting for Cappy and the Isles to break the losing streak!

here is a recent post:

Good thing I decided to read this thread this morning because I think you'll all appreciate this.

Kimber Auerbach is about as far from a douche (or any other negative term you can think of) that you can get. This kid was the most helpful guy you could ever imagine when he was working for the Sound Tigers. He was responsible for all kinds of great web content (audio, video) and would even work with the fans to help out any way he could. In fact, he even did some banners for my Sound Tigers Forums on his own time and just because we asked him if he could help out. Talk to any Sound Tiger fan who knows him and you'll get the same story.

Unfortunately, he got promoted in Wang's empire and now he's being forced to put his name on Wang's words to get everyone to point their venom in another direction. Don't lose focus on the guy behind all of this, Charles Wang. He can hire as many people as he wants to say what he wants them to say, but it's still him saying it. I feel bad for Kimber. He's a young guy who has risen up quick in a pro sports organization by doing a great job at everything he's done and now he's being repaid by being told to say things that could only cause people to rise up against him. If I were him I'd be working on my resume right now. There are tons of pro sports teams out there and he should have no problem getting some great references.



FYI

He, and the rest of the media department, have done so much for me over the past year there is not one bad thing I could say about them.

Botta went out of his way to praise the guy on the FAN interview so I'm pretty sure everyone knows that this is from Wang/Snow
