Retired Soccer Coach

Vote Holy Cannoli…it is the way @DonLagreca

@StatBoy_Steven Everything but the last two. Nice work!

NHL rule changes I want to see: - If a powerplay starts when the period starts, that face-off should be in the offensive zone - Jailbreak rule. Shorthanded goal ends the PP - If a team scores on a delayed penalty, they still get the powerplay - 3rd period or overtime cannot end on a PP if the team on the man advantage is trailing or the game is tied - Icing called when a team passes or skates the puck back across the red line in 3-on-3 overtime - When a bench minor is called, the opposing coach gets to choose who serves the penalty - Icing still called when shorthanded, unless you reach the blue line first - Either count all goals off the skate or count none of them. Remove the arbitrary element of the kicking-motion rule.

@GrahamPowers19 @Buccigross He can play in the A. The under 20 rule only applies to players coming from the major juniors. Since Cole isn’t coming from the major juniors, he can play in the A as long as he’s over 18.

@Buccigross How fast do you think the iles will add C Eiserman? Does going back to BU help him or is it ATO time for the AHL? dont know if he can play in the A due to his age. Got to think he is a better option then Palat for limit mins and spot in on PP for a team fighting for playoffs

17th overall last summer. Defenseman. Turns 20 in September. 28-42-70 in 54 games for Barrie Colts.

@dbetberg I did the same.

I turned the game off when the Blues made it 4-0 and Rittich started putting on his mask #isles Guess I’ll watch the third since it’s 3-1 now … they’re going to win this one right ?

@nyisyd Absolutely not. Although 92 is cool.

Do I have to change my #10 now??

@BrerOswald2 Amen. What they have planned is lackluster.

Why am I saying this is a letdown? A few reasons: - The major attraction of the land being themed to one singular character is a mistake. In the late 80s/early 90s, Imagineers devised a ride named Bald Mountain (after the location from Fantasia). It was a boat ride incorporating all of the Disney villains, not just Chernabog. You would’ve in the River Styx before ascending the mountain. It was ambitious, a classic in the making. Theming this ride to a singular villain suggests it will be much smaller in scope (think Navi River instead of something like Splash or Pirates). - The entire coaster being themed to a singular scene from a movie. Again with the terrible Change .org ideas. As a singular scene in a longer coaster it could be neat. Instead we are going to get another kiddie coaster with an experience shallower than Slinky or Minetrain. - Another spinner. It will be the park’s 4th (technically 5th if you include both Dumbos). There is only so much you can do with a spinner. The park doesn’t need another one. In fact, it can probably afford to lose one. Why not create a new C ticket busbar dark ride for the land’s third attraction? In general, there’s a huge lack of ambition here. This seems on par with what we got in New Fantasyland, a much needed expansion that was squandered with lack of ambition and poor budget allocation from the start.

@RTaub_ This sounds literally awful.

The #Isles sent this email out to Season Ticket Holders about next Sunday’s meet the team event. Season ticket members based on priority will only be able to meet 1 to 2 players during the event.

@IslesICENET I was there. And at the draft party, I got Bates to sign a picture of his celebration.

Where were you???? #isles

@nicolefshirman 1993 was pretty good until Dale Hunter.

If the 80s were heaven, the 90s were hell. Management crumbles. The team was sold repeatedly. Enter the “Gang of Four” era. And then ... The Rebrand™

SO YOU’RE A NEW ISLANDERS FAN? A complete deep dive into the history, pain, glory, and absolute chaos of the New York Islanders. From the Dynasty to the Fisherman, from the Coliseum to UBS. Everything you need to know 🧵⬇️

@logopatt @David954FLA Play only two games against teams in other other division in your conference. Add one to two more games against teams in your division. Go to top 4 in each division make the playoffs, no wildcards.

@David954FLA Teams competing for playoff spots should play eachother more. They have heavy divisional standings but league wide schedules. You need a more balanced approach

Based on current pace, a team could miss the playoffs in the east with 100pts this year and Edmonton could win their division with 95 If something like that happens, the NHL has to consider a different format…

@seanyhockey Or go back to an even older format where there were true division playoffs. Canes/Caps, Isles/Pens. Lightning/Habs, Wings/Sabres. You play the most games within your division anyway.

Hard for #Isles fans to complain.. but if playoffs started today, #1 TBL & #2 Canes would play 5th & 6th Habs & Bruins and the 3rd & 4th Wings & Sabres would faceoff, all while the 7th & 8th Pens & NYI would be whistling happy playing each other. Go back to the old format already

@Azeris_Pops @RationalGMENFan @JackMac The Koch family who bought a piece of the Giants are not related at all to former NYC Mayor Ed Koch

With the Koch family being part owners now, that could change when the lease gets close to being up. Being the ex mayor, I’m sure they would love to get the Giants in the City limits eventually. And if Chris Mara is at the helm, he would probably live for that to be part of his legacy.

NYC could've done this. But instead we re-upped in the "Meadowlands"

@RTaub_ I live in Westchester and I’ve had season tickets since UBS opened. I only bought them because the building was closer to me and also accsible to the train. I had partial plans at the Coliseum, but I could never do a full season there. It was too far from me.

Look, the building is beautiful. That will never be the issue. It was never built in the right place. Can winning change that? Maybe. They’ll never get a massive crowd vs VAN on a Tuesday night in October or November. That’s just a fact. You know what else can help? More buses in the Emerald parking lot, not charging $40-50 for non STH to park in said lot, building another lot closer to the arena (hello Belmont Village!). That’s just the tip of the iceberg. The younger generation #Isles fan has seen mostly solid to great hockey, so growing the fanbase still doesn’t seem like the biggest dilemma. I agree with @JustKCheese58’s comments. However, some things with this particular fanbase and area will only change if those said changes are accepted.

@MetroNorth Thank you. Follow up question. For pay as you go customers, do I have to buy 10 peak tickets in a 14 day period to get a free peak ticket? What if I buy 8 peak and 2 off peak tickets in the 14 day period- would I still earn a free ticket?

@DadBKR Yes, they will. ^mr

Starting January 4, new fares go into effect, along with changes to how you buy and use tickets: ▪️ A new Day Pass replaces round-trip tickets ▪️ Expanded eligibility for Reduced-Fare and Family Fare tickets ▪️ New policies around one-way tickets and onboard surcharges Get more details: mta.info/fares-tolls/20…

@UBSArena ran out of food trays before bobble heads 🤣

@OfficialKappy @AndrewMarchand Think it’s rather embarrassing for him and the franchise. Very unprofessional. But that’s how the Jets roll in the Woody era.

Honestly fans love it. It’s the beat that doesn’t. I wouldn’t take it so seriously, he’s creating boundaries for y’all to respect. The “who’s starting at QB” thing isn’t necessary when he hasn’t shown anything or made any comment that would say fields’ job is at risk. That’s the definition of media created gossip.

In theory, having been in NY as a player should help Aaron Glenn. Instead he comes off terribly almost every day. It's not that hard.

@GaryMyersNY @Patriots Could be as simple as Kraft had to earn his keep and Johnson was born on third and thought he hit a triple.

Hire the right GM and coach. Draft the right QB. Then fill in the rest of the team with good draft picks and free agent signings. That's the formula for NFL success. Not that complicated. Just need to have the right people making the right decisions. How is it that the @Patriots followed up their 20-year dynasty with five years of post-Brady misery and are now serious playoff contenders and the @nyjets keep getting worse in the midst of their 15th consecutive non-playoff year? After not being able to make it work with Mac Jones replacing Brady and Jerod Mayo replacing Belichick, the Patriots took another swing at it and got it right by drafting Drake Maye last year and hiring Mike Vrabel this year. The Pats are not starting another dynasty, of course, but they are making a run for the AFC East title. The Jets keep digging the hole deeper with Adam Gase/Robert Saleh/Aaron Glenn and not being able to make it work with Sam Darnold/Zach Wilson and making it even worse with Justin Fields. It's almost not fair to Jets fans that the Patriots have already reloaded and the Jets are a serious threat to be the first 0-17 team since the league added the 17th game in 2021. Can it be as simple as Robert Kraft is a HOF owner and Woody Johnson is not?

@MFliegelman @woodyjohnson4 Owner has to go first.

Forget one and done. This entire Jets regime should be fired today. They are hilariously incompetent in a way no other NFL staffers have ever been before. Great job, @woodyjohnson4. If last year in London was embarrassing then what was this? Gifted a game and gave it back.

@CoachMcCartan The coach is bad. But the owner is the problem. This team will not win with it’s current ownership.

The biggest clown show to ever coach the New York Jets. That's a lot to say. Tune in to WFAN now.
