NYI Fan Central Comments:
Sorry Mr Logan, it's not personal on my part but to see the Islanders outblogged this badly in the only paper giving them full time coverage has to be written about and your passion for what the Islander beat means to you has to be questioned even if you are professional and fill the job requirement.

As I have written several times you cannot manufacture passion for covering an assignment, it's a job and you do what's required.

The New York Islanders need more than this in their primary beatwriter.
