NYI Open House 5-14-08 & 20 Questions

Well, if you missed it, and I know it certainly seemed like a lot of you did, there was some interesting information to come out of tonight’s event. It’s too late for me to go through all the stuff that will be covered by the website, and everyone else. But I will tell you a little secret.

We complain we don’t get enough TV coverage? That should soon change. Look forward to the debut on June 18th of an all Islanders TV show to air on… dare I say it? ACTUAL TV! Yep. The people who bring you ITV are going to try their hand at a half hour Islanders Illustrated TV show that should air once a month over the summer, and then once every two weeks once the season starts. A grand undertaking, but we certainly deserve it.

On another note that made me supremely happy (ok, all things considered, just somewhat less miserable) we are being treated to a very, VERY special guest MC for the June 20th Draft Party: ESPN’s own John Buccigross. I have loved reading this man’s work for years, and his latest book “Jonsey” is one of my favorites.

Now, for all of you who have ever had burning questions about the NY Islanders but were afraid to ask, or just didn't have anyone TO ask... NOW is your chance! Whether it's a question about the glory day Islanders, present day or just hockey in general, you've got a limited window to ask away.

There are other interesting events planned throughout this “not really” off-season for the NY Islanders, but it’s late, and I’m tired. So I’ll try again to fill you in another day.
Night all in NYIC.
