These are sad, stinky times for the New York Islanders, as you know. At 6-18 in the Atlantic, they have an NHL-worst 18 points. But one would think they’d get a respite from jeers and general loathing while visiting a children’s hospital to distribute gifts. Nope.
Tough room.
“We were visiting sick kids and giving them gifts,” defenseman James Wisniewski said, “and one of the nurses there was really pretty rude to me, Doug Weight and Andy MacDonald. She’s a season-ticket holder and saying, ‘Nobody wants to go to your games; you’ve been giving tickets away for free.’
“It was kind of like, with that first comment, it’s, ‘Whoa.’ And then the second and third, it’s to the point where we kind of had to walk away.”
Sheesh. Is it too much top ask for the nurse to take up knitting?
