Extreme Makeovers: Nassau Coliseum Edition
September 26th, 2007 by murph
From the NYI Media Blog run by Corey Witt, New York Islanders Media Relations Coordinator, here are 5 of the 10 new things you’ll find at the Coliseum this season. Click over to Corey’s blog to see the whole list.
1) DP’s new pads – Ricky re-designed the goalie pads he’s worn for the last season and half.
2) Team Apparel – From hats to shirts to pucks, you’ll find all new NYI apparel from the 2007-08 season.
3) All White Dashers – What now? The NHL has a new rule that all dasher board signage must have a white background. Everything will look a bit crisper on the boards now.
4) New Halo Graphics – The NYI Game Ops. crew designed the graphics for penalties and whistles.
5) New Jersey’s – The Islanders will wear blue tonight and it’ll give most fans the first opportunity to see them in game action.
There is one glaring oversight by Corey - it was reported and confirmed on the Islanders Fan Yahoo Group that the Chicken Dance has returned to the Nassau Coliseum! Apparently someone finally convinced Wang that “suck” is not really a four letter word.
Dada dada dada da, dada dada dada da, the Rangers suck!
