Howie Rose Gets Candid About the Islanders During TV Timeout

Filed under: Islanders, NHL Media Watch, NHL Videos

The New York Islanders appear to have some sort of zero tolerance policy when it comes to members of the media speaking critically about their team (or not positive enough). Their reactions tend to vary from dismissal (Billy Jaffe) to the removal of credentials. That said, one has to wonder how irrational their reaction is going to be to play-by-play announcer Howie Rose speaking quite candidly during a TV timeout on Sunday, a game the Islanders entered riding a 12-game losing streak.

The problem, of course, is that while Rose thought he was off the air, he was pretty clearly still on it.

What followed was Rose jokingly asking "is it spring training yet?" and then saying "let me know how this game turns out ... not that I particularly care."
