Chris Botta's Credentials Pulled by New York Islanders

Filed under: Islanders, Eastern

FanHouse national NHL writer Chris Botta has confirmed that his press credentials were revoked by the New York Islanders.

Botta was a longtime employee of the Islanders, working for over 20 years, including more than ten as VP of Communications. Along with his work at FanHouse, Botta runs the Islanders blog Islanders Point Blank, on which he provides comprehensive coverage of the team. The blog began as a team-funded publication, but has since become entirely independent from the NHL franchise.

The move comes after the firing of Islanders coach Scott Gordon on Monday. After the move, Botta wrote on IPB that the team's 10-game losing streak (which has now reached 11), was not the fault of solely Gordon, and "everyone, even Garth Snow, has to know that."
