Amazing how Howie gets people angry and Wang or Snow or those who put us all to sleep with zero respect to fans get off scott free. Howie has been a solid announcer and is asked to sit through Charles Wang hockey.
Howie is a big time Rangers fan, he was the Rangers radio announcer up until 1995 when he got offered the Isles TV job. Come on, If you're not gonna take a TV job over radio just because of team opinion, you're dumb. He puts his bias away to do a job. JSYK, when Sam Rosen retires, YOU KNOW MSG is going to put Howie on Rangers games.
Howie is a Ranger fan. He's always been a Ranger fan, and it's never been a secret. As an Isle fan, I still love Rose because when he calls his games, he puts his personal bias aside and would have you believe he's a huge Isles fan. I have no problem with his opinion here. He's calling for a team, not even his, on a thirteen game losing streak with a front office that obviously has no interest in bettering itself. Can anyone honestly blame his apathy?
I loved Jiggs and Eddie. They were great. JIGGS HAD A WONDERFUL TONE IN CALLING A GAME. I would like the Islanders to be good before Jiggs would come out of retirement. Jiggs was last a full time Isles announcer with Ed Westphal in 1993-1994 season. The following year Howie replaced Jiggs and worked with Ed for a few years.
he said, "and HOPEFULLY we can go on from here". I think not! Bye, bye loser! Gotta think that he will be blackballed in the industry as well; who would trust what he says anymore?
@blindswitchrocks What is the big deal? He's been the play by play guy for the worst club in the NHL for the last 16 years. The club is currently riding a 13 game losing streak. His professional partner Billy Jaffe was fired because he was "too negative." Howie Rose announcing NYI games is probably the best thing the organization had going for it the last decade and a half. He should have a banner in the rafters (sarcasm). If he's fired for this then I'm going to be really disappointed.
He said that because he is also the radio announcer for the Mets.

Howie Rose's negative attitude can be attributed to the islanders struggles recently.

Does this mean we can count on seeing Jiggs in the near future? Hopefully he will have Eddie with him and Butch can go back to Hockey Night Live!
