Ben Shelley: Islanders get back to .500 with key road win over Hurricanes

Actual quote from 'Isles beat writer' Stefen Rosner:

" I’ll leave you with this:

Josh Bailey deserves his number retired by #Isles    when he calls it a career. It’s not up for debate. And I won’t debate it.

Good night."

Ah yes, Bossy, Trotter, Gillies, Smith, Goring, Nystrom, Arbour.....Bailey......that should fit right in....

Bailey deserves a ton of credit but let’s pull back those reins a bit.

Oh, I'm sorry. I meant 'tearing up' as in tearing up a Josh Bailey trading card.....it's therapeutic.


The kid's been a good Islander. I'm not sure he should have made it anywhere near 1k games with us, but the coaches and players love him.

Bailey making it to 1,000 games says as much about the Islanders franchise over the past 14 years or so, as it does about Bailey's contributions to the franchise.
