Comments on: 1st Rambling…. Sidney Crosby is a whining little brat! http://www.viewfromsection317.com/2007/01/19/1st-rambling-sidney-crosby-is-a-whining-little-brat/ A perspective about the Islanders, Hockey and other ramblings from Gary Harding, a former Islanders Booster Club President and season ticket holder since 1989. The Blog Name, basically tells you where I sit. From Row B, Seat 1 in Section 317, I watch the boys that wear my home on their sweaters play hockey over 40 times (hopefully more) every season. As of October 2008, Gary is a member of the NYI Blog Box, a collection of Islander Bloggers, who will be working at the Coliseum this season, talking about their favorite team.

Due to all the fuss over suspicion of intended injuries and money the NHL is not the only sport where this is happening; maybe if you were paying attention to other sports and your own team instead of ripping on other teams and their players you'd know.
