Meet Rick DiPietro!

The New York Islanders are pushing a 9-Game playoff push plan to the fans this week by dangling a meeting with Rick DiPietro out as a carrot.

I’m sure that the Islanders fans aren’t lining up too fast for this since Garth Snow has made sure they have 14 more years to meet him.

Nevertheless, I hope they sell out every game from now until the end of the season. I also hoped they would have rid themselves of Jason Blake before the deadline, but I’m not sure who would have wanted him?

P.S. – Maybe I will go line-up to meet DiPietro, because apparently you get to meet Garth Snow and Ted Nolan too.

Maybe, just maybe, one of them can tell me why they thought it was a good idea to have the players look like Bobbleheads on their website roster page.
