I'm sure Newsday will replace him

Maybe not this is the Islanders who only had one beat writer to begin with

Maybe we will get some hot young college girl and not a pasty white vampire covering the team

Well if Tavares walks we might just get some unpaid college intern with a learning disability.

I'll never forget Dracula Staple.

Art's a little touchy this morning. I guess the truth hurts:

Headed off to Chicago on my last road trip for @NewsdaySports. I’ll have more details on my next move in a couple weeks. Until then, #Isles fans, let’s keep the focus where it should be — on my inability to ask tough questions.

At least Staple is honest...

Do they really need one? The team is irrelevant with the product on the ice. Stan Fischler seems to ask all the questions during the post-game interview. He asks the same questions. Time for him to hang it up...

FREE HO SANG. remember when isles use to win, guess who was in the lineup.
Not saying he is reason why we won but its nice to have a 3rd player to carry to puck along with leddy and barzal. Seems noone else is capable.

In addition to our horrible defense and soft goaltending. I think the fact that 3rd and 4th line is utterly useless makes it easy for opposing teams like Boston to just focus on tavares an barzal and then exploit lines 3 and 4.

I'd like him up since he's much better than Prince and Quine, but it won't really help. The Isles have given up 4 or more goals in 9 of the last 10 games. Until they address the defense the team will keep losing games.

Going to take much more than Ho Sang or even de Haan and Boychuk back. Garth and Co think all the problems started with the injuries and that's not the case.

I agree, except that Ho Sang, despite all his faults, will help the team spend more time in the o-zone instead of the d-zone. It will give Pelech another option on what to do with the puck besides looking around until a forechecker takes it away from him.

At least Staple is honest...

Newsday is a rag, has been for years, I wouldn't buy it to line my birds cage.

I have been watching dal Calle, is it me he is a slow skater. Also, it seems he can't wait to get off the ice. Always, the first one to come off.

I have no idea what some of these young players do in the offseason? Do they not work on their skating or strength? These players do not have to get a part time job in the offseason. Work on your franken game. It was mentioned MDC does not even have a shot on net yet.

#Isles place Casey Cizikas on IR and recall Ross Johnston from BPT.

Here comes another BPT star. Other teams can call up useful players from the minors not the Isles though.

They are so (frank)ing stupid that it's hard to even visualize. A drunk 6 year old could run this team better.

Ross Johnston???? I suppose he's much better than Jussi Jokinen.

He seems to have size so I guess there is that.

Yeah, he just can't skate, shoot, pass, defend, or create offense. But he can definitely size.
