Well yeah....what ever happened to John Spano?  :-}

Spano was convicted on wire fraud charges. I'd guess he's in prison for that.

Right, I remember that...I mentioned his name but he was the guy who was going to spend "all that money" to build the team...:-D

You're a fellow Mets fan, you know ALL about spending money and not getting anywhere.  :-P

I'm gonna come back and respond to this post in, oh, about 24 hours.  :-}

First off, although I am an Islanders fan, Spano is my HERO!  Who else could practically buy a sports team with absolutely NO MONEY?!?  Talk about the almost-steal of the century.  Background checks would be nice.

In response to Josh'99 above, yes, the Isles may bow out after the first round.  But, as the ol' saying goes, you gotta be in it to win it.

On a lighter note, talk about deja vu!!!  Yesterday, with the Isles losing 3-1 and about 10 seconds to go, Isles scored a goal with a questionable high stick, very similar to the location of the Cornell no goal against UHN.  It was immediately called a no goal on the ice.  It took all of 1-2 minutes before the ruling of the ice stood.  With three angles, 2 angles looked possibly good and the third overhead angle with the worst view made it look like and obvious high stick.  As the anouncer stated, there was no conclusive evidence to over turn the ruling on the ice.  Too bad college hockey isn't the same!

well, when it is Isles vs the Senators I can't help but suddenly detest the isles. go ottawa (and toronto, and colorado and edmonton and N.J. - hmmm I perhaps have too many allegiances)

The world seems to be working properly. I woofed, and am now reaping the fruits of such woofing. :-}

Hey, don't misread me.  I watched as many of the Rangers games this year as I could.  Trust me, I knew they sucked before you did.  :-P
