Comments on: Thoughts from the “Cool AC League” http://www.viewfromsection317.com/2009/07/06/thoughts-from-the-cool-ac-league/ 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.

I was surprised by a number of events. I'm also surprised by the fact that there are still a number of guys still out there unsigned. I think the Rangers took a big gamble on Gaborik. From what I am reading, there is no doubt that he has the ability to score, but the problem is just about any injury keeps the guy out of the lineup. Minnesota fans basically are laughing at the Rangers. I wish I had remembered to cut and paste a really humorous comment a Wild fan had made about Gaborik. Roloson will do just fine. He surely did his job in Edmonton. People seem to forget that fact.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('54130','John Panarese'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('54130','John Panarese','It\'s been a fairly \"quiet\" signing period compared to other years.
