We assure you that we will make up for this weekend's hiatus with a very special guest next week, which will be announced within the next few days. Of course, we will preview that night's game, in which Al Arbour will coach for the monumental 1,500th time, and review this week's action in New York Islanders hockey. Like usual, we will take calls and IMs from our listeners and host the always awesome HNLI chatroom. Be sure to tune in next Saturday at 3:30 PM EST for an incredible hour of hockey talk.

HNLI On the Air SUNDAY with Gary Harding

Hockey Night on Long Island will return to the airwaves this Sunday, October 21, at 3:30 PM EST for another hour block of Isles talk. This week, the dynamic duo of Alex and Steve will be joined by special guest Gary Harding. When it comes to the Islanders community, few are more involved than Gary, who runs a spectacular blog "The View From Section 317", hosts the New York Hockey Report, and is of course the former president and current active member of the New York Islanders Booster Club. This Sunday, Harding will take some time with HNLI to discuss the most recent string of Islander games, the recent line shakeups, the fall of Marc-Andre Bergeron, and much much more. Of course, the show wouldn't be complete without your input via telephone (718-664-9597) and instant message. Finally, be sure to stop by the HNLI chatroom to interact with fellow HNLI listeners. Find all this and more Sunday, 10/21, at 3:30 PM EST at show.hockeynightonlongisland.com.

Words of Encouragement from BTR CEO and Big Time Isles Fan

Updating the Friday Fiasco on Hockey Night on Long Island, we have just heard from Blogtalkradio CEO Alan Levy, who coincidentally enough is a huge Isles fan regarding today's technical difficulties:

As an Islander fan who personally witnessed the Nystrom goal to win their first cup, I apologize for the problems on today's show.

Rest assured, these technical matters have been remedied and your next show will be featured on our home page.

Go Islanders!!

Alan Levy
CEO
Blogtalkradio

Gotta love Alan Levy....a real class act and a true Isles fan.

Terrible Telephone Troubles.....Oh My!

Lets hope the Isles have better opening night fortunes on the ice than HNLI did on the airwaves.......with all of the build up to today's Season Opener Special, Steve and I were both devastated to encounter some serious technical difficulties, espescially after being a featured episode on the Blogtalkradio calender. Apparently our audio feed was in and out and we were unable to connect with our guest via telephone, Tom Liodice until about half way through the show. We stumbled through today's episode, but would like to deeply apologize for our major malfunctions.

Don't fret, however, because next week's episode will surely make up for tonight's mishaps. We will be joined by extremely special guest Greg Logan, the Islanders' superb beat writer for Newsday. Greg will be talking a nice hour of Islanders hockey with us, as well as taking your questions via telephone (cross your fingers), AOL IM, or our brand new chatroom feature.

Again, be sure to tune in next Saturday, 10/13, at 3:30 PM EST and stay tuned to the homepage for updates.
LETS GO ISLANDERS!
