So many of you may not have seen this, but this paragraph prefaced the game notes on Saturday afternoon that are sent out by the Customer Service Dept.
"I’ll take a hundred like Doug Weight. The man loves the game. He plays with integrity, and is respected around the league and around the locker room. Watching this guy do whatever it takes to give his team the respect it deserves is an inspiration to us all. In all my years I had never seen a player throw down his gloves so emphatically they way he dad last Saturday v Philadelphia. He had no problem doing it again Thursday night. Yet, off the ice he is one of the most affable and likeable characters of the game. The fact that he still wears molded boot skates just increases the amount of respect this writer has for the guy."
Truer words were never spoken. He's one veteran I wouldn't mind seeing in September in an Islanders jersey again.
