Islanders’ playoff process frustrating fans who aren’t renewing season tickets
NY Post
Four decades later, the Coliseum is once again the Room Where It Happens.
And though there is room to accommodate all of the club’s season-ticket holders, the process of buying tickets for the playoffs — and particularly this semifinal round against the Lightning that picks up at the Old Barn with Game 3 on Thursday — has been a frustrating one for a number of subscribers. The Post has received multiple emails from longtime subscribers complaining that they have been relegated to the back of the line and sent through a laborious process while the team has given priority to those who have purchased subscriptions for the arena at Belmont that will open next season.
The confetti has stopped falling inside the Superdome in New Orleans, and Saquon Barkley and the Eagles are the newly crowned Super Bowl champions. Thus ends a 2024 NFL season that the Giants wish was a bad dream.
With the NBA at its break, The Post’s hoops writers examine the key questions from the first half and forecast the rest of the season (and offseason). Here’s a look:
Doug Nussmeier hasn’t yet considered a future scenario in which he is coaching Super Bowl 2025 MVP Jalen Hurts between possessions while simultaneously stealing glances at the field to make sure that Hurts’ counterpart is doing everything that he was taught.
MONTREAL — The only guarantee in this 4 Nations Face-off is the hostile atmosphere that will follow Team USA.
TAMPA — When current rotation odd man out Marcus Stroman defiantly states he is a starter 11 times in 10 minutes after arriving for workouts later than all of his pitching Yankees teammates, well, that should just be catnip for your friendly columnist here at this bold tabloid.
The city of Philadelphia rightly showered Saquon Barkley with plenty of brotherly love on Friday, and the former Giants star gave it back to Eagles fans and staffers throughout their championship parade and celebration.
SAN FRANCISCO – A formality was made official Friday night when Carmelo Anthony, arguably the greatest Knick since Patrick Ewing, was named a finalist for the Naismith Hall of Fame.
MONTREAL — There was an absence of the pomp and circumstance that accompanied Wednesday’s Canada-Sweden opener of this 4 Nations Face-Off.
TAMPA — Max Fried and Gerrit Cole are two very different pitchers on the mound but alike in their talent and drive to succeed.
These first five paragraphs will be utilized to praise the Knicks, so if you are among that faction who prefers to ignore all the good that’s transpired over the first 54 games of this season, you have my permission to proceed to paragraph six, no hard feelings, no questions asked.
The Chiefs are giving their star tight end a deadline to inform them of his future plans.
MONTREAL — For Team USA, it was a poor start and a grand Finnish.
Nothing truly will be decided nor accurately measured until the Knicks prove they can defeat the NBA’s most elite teams and advance deeper into the playoffs.
