These are the jerseys that the Milwaukee Admirals will wear this season:
Word has it that Admirals players are being encouraged by management this season to respond to the inevitable heckling in the following manner:
"I know you are, but what am I?"
"Why don't you make me?" "Because I don't make monkeys, I train them."
Thus, we've made our segue into the next segment, called "The Ten Best Things About Being An Islanders Fan" (from The Hockey News):
10. Nine different jerseys in your closet and only three of them cause people to chuckle.
9. You avoid breathing in dangerous toxins by holding your breath as trade deadline approaches.
8. Spring and summers off.
7. The game will always be on channel 71…unless the Rangers are on, in which case it will be on channel 55…unless the Devils are on, in which case it will be on channel 135…unless the winter paint ball games are on, in which case it will be on channel 379 or is it 183...no it’s... hey, The Simpsons are on, cool.
6. An owner eager to prove Mike Milbury's not the worst GM in sports history. Tell the bus driver to start brushing up on the CBA.
5. The lack of any minor league, NCAA or field hockey teams on Long Island allows you to focus on Isles.
4. Watching Zdeno Chara and Jason Spezza dominate.
3. Youngsters get free lessons from Princess Alexis of Russia on how to not win face-offs, finish plays or stand up for teammates.
2. Paying the New York Rangers (Cablevision) $1200 per year to be allowed to watch Islander games. (Tell the people of Montreal they have to pay the Maple Leafs $1200 to see Montreal games and you would have a civil war.)
1. Yashin will eventually go away...right?
