Comments on: 2009-2010 Preview – Part 1 – How the team spent it’s summer vacation http://www.viewfromsection317.com/2009/08/28/2009-2010-preview-part-1-how-the-team-spent-its-summer-vacation/ 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.

It would be Really Nice if we could have a season where half the starting lineup from opening night is NOT hurt by January. I think the goaltending situation now puts us in a far better comfortable position with badly needed depth. Also, from what I am reading, we have a Lot of potentially solid prospects now beyond just John. I also think we will see improvements, and as I have also said in the past, rebuilding requires patience, and one only needs to look at teams like Pittsburgh, Chicago and Columbus. Will we make the playoffs this season? I'm not sure, but I don't discount Any possibility.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('58632','John Panarese'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('58632','John Panarese','I think the key is going to be staying healthy.
