As everyone knows I rarely make site announcements here or discuss myself. I'm still a game-time decision for draft night/day two. Family circumstances. I very much wish to be here and available. I'm sorry. There will be no special posts moving forward on this subject.
#NYC #NYI #isles My comments on Darche: Good. We need our GM's/staff/players on camera speaking more. You can't market a team with awful fan support by being silent. Not at that location. Have to get people interested in team. Hanging a hockey tonight sign not going to work.

here.#NYC #NYI #isles We don't need to be the reality television NHL team but many teams open the doors and let the fans see some of what's going on, many teams allow full access to room/meetings via camera. At this point they can't survive as a business hiding.

Darche also went on WFAN 13:00 mark.#Isles News: New York Islanders forward Matt Martin announced his retirement from the National Hockey League today after 15 NHL seasons.

Islanders General Manager and Executive Vice President Mathieu Darche has named Martin a Special Assistant to the General Manager.
Preseason/Chara, we are past days where we had to wait well into summer to peacemeal articles for preseasons. Happy for Chara/Martin.
#NYC #NYI #isles #17 Thanks for the memories a little conflicted he got that high a position in management. Now it's time to say goodbye to Cizikas and ping pong Pageau. Martin should have retired with Clutterbuck a year ago.
