Hes killed me in fantasy...stupid stupid me for picking him up

Not trying to come off as sounding mean, but why would you ever take him? My general rule of thumb for fantasy hockey is never draft an Islander if you want to win :)

Chris Drury is the only Ranger that can win faceoffs. Thus he is not horrible. Ranger fans just expect to go 82-0-0 sometimes and don't think. Well not all of them, but my Dad recently put me on his "rangers" mailing list from his work and I can't read them. If I hear another "Trade Gaborik and put Avery on the first line where he belongs" rant again I may explode on all of them.

Fisherman authentic, Palffy $750. Only problem is the customization is a little off. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-YORK-ISLANDERS-PRO-CCM-FISHERMAN-PALFFY-JERSEY-52-/250759608524?pt=U_Hockey_Fan_Shop&hash=item3a626ff8cc

Doesn't matter. At that steal of a price you are still getting a good deal.

Looks like they used an Avalanche-style A on the front.

I may or may not have just called the seller out on it because in the description he says it is perfectly customized.

Should be kiss cut and the numbers should be larger. Unfortunately, I bought an authentic one that was customized like that, which is what they used on the replicas I think (retailers did not make money on the fish sticks jerseys). Still no reason for being at that price.

The name and numbers are definitely off, but I was looking into the "A". Based on Getty Images, it turns out the Islanders used at least three different styles. From 1995 up to Dec 1996, the Avalanche-style "A" was used.

Then in Jan 1997, the "A" becomes the italicized version of their player name font. The top and middle bars of the "A" are horizontal and parallel.

For the 1997-98 season according to this game-worn jersey, the "A" is straightened up with the top bar horizontal, but the middle bar now slants upward.

All the images you show are not the Gorton's fisherman logo like the guy has for sale. Its when they reverted back to the old logo, so its still wrong. Even though the guy emailed me back and insisted he is right.

This is brutal. Not only is it one of the terrible Sabres Away fakes, it's signed, and "certified". Nice move with the tag close up too. All this can be yours for the reasonable price of $325.00!

There has to be away to report this store.

Read my post again.

  1. I never said the customization was correct. I said it was off in the first sentence.
  2. The whole point was how the "A" evolved in a short time span.
  3. In 1996-97, the Islanders interchanged the fisherman with the circle logo at times (25th anniversary patches were on both versions), but the customization styles remained the same.
  4. The second image has the fisherman logo.
  5. I got your Palffy fisherman with Avalanche-"A" right here:

You are correct sir. The thing that pissed me off the most were the numbers and price.

Fair enough. I retract my statement. It was also like 2:30 am and I was sleep deprived, an insomniac, and the pictures weren't loading. Sorry about that!
