Long overdue. Pat gave us everything, every shift. Sad that we couldn't rebuild enough to get him help and a championship. It sucks that ownership was so stable for so long, failed after the dynasty to keep him here. Should have been a lifelong Islander. Hopefully, tomorrow they retire his 16, because it is deserved.
Doesn’t explain why he held out on our most beloved GM and forced a trade. They say time heals all wounds but I haven’t forgotten. LaFontaine is a Buffalo Sabre, not an Islander.

Thanks for the memories Pat! 🥲
Good man. I'd like to see the Isles retire his number
