Islanders vs. Rangers at Yankee Stadium 1/1/09- NOT DONE DEAL

YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

Those are the only words to explain how I feel right now. According to Al Trautwig, the Islanders and Rangers will faceoff in Yankee Stadium on New Year's Day next year. This will be the last professional sporting event held at the stadium, as the Yankees' season would end late this year.

UPDATE(8:38 AM)-- Well, you knew this was coming. Any chance Al Trautwig gets to piss off Islander fans, he'll take it. Now, I am told that it is still no where near a done deal. The idea of the game is still being greatly considered, but, like I said, no where near official. So, Trautwig screwed us up again.

According to John Dellapina's NY Daily News blog, Al Trautwig told Chris Botta to not tell the whole world about the game, and that he ACTUALLY said that a source told him an Isles - Rag$ game was still a possibility. Now, I cannot confirm this because I wasn't watching Hockey Night Live at the time of the "incident". So I'll see if I can get some other Isles fans to confirm this. Or maybe, there is a video of it. (Hey, YouTube or it didn't happen! :wink:)

And, NBC does not want the Isles in the game, because they don't have enough star-power.

Not enough star-power....Hmm....Quick, someone make Garth give Hossa and Redden a freakin' good deal!!!


Let's Go Isles!!! (RANGERS SUCK!)
