For 15 years, Josh Bailey was a steady presence in the New York Islanders lineup. While fans continue to debate his legacy — and whether the forward who skated in the third-most games in team history deserves a place in the team’s own Hall of Fame — there’s already one Hall of Fame where Bailey has earned a permanent home: the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto.
Confused? Let's explain.
Inside the Hall’s Franchise Alley exhibit, fans can find one of Bailey’s game-worn Islanders jerseys proudly on display. It serves as a reminder of the veteran forward’s long tenure, but also captures how the team paid tribute to two fallen team legends during a very difficult season.
