So I noticed the Islanders’ Hall of Fame banner hanging at the Coliseum the other night, and other than wondering whether the “Jonsson” so honored was two-time Cup winner Tomas from the Dynasty Days or Kenny from the Milbury Era (Answer: Someone should sew on the “K”), I figured the franchise with so little to celebrate the last little while had done away with the concept.
Because, after all, how could an Islanders Hall of Fame exist without Butch Goring, John Tonelli, Pat LaFontaine and Brent Sutter among its honored members?
