Islanders Broadcast Bundle: Jiggs, Rose & Burke Interviews
Islanders Broadcast Bundle: Jiggs, Rose & Burke InterviewsThis past week, Stan Fischler chatted with the past and present New York Islanders broadcasters. From Jiggs McDonald to Howie Rosie to Brendan Burke, here are our interviews with the three about their starts, careers & more!
Former Islanders Play By Play Broadcaster Jiggs McDonald Took the Art to Its Highest Level
Jiggs McDonald is the hockey play-by-play man's play-by-play man.

Now a Baseball Only Voice, Howie Rose Reflects Back to His Islanders Days
I mean, how do you replace a legend?

Islanders Broadcaster Brendan Burke Has Become an All-Points Favorite
For starters, nobody at MSG Networks knew about Brendan Burke when Howie Rose announced that he was leaving his Islanders gig.
Burke was working games for the American Hockey League's Utica Comets, then coached by former Islanders center Travis Green.
Once Rose left, and the Isles broadcast vacancy opened up, everybody and his Uncle Dudley applied for the job. And that included some of the top warblers in the hockey realm.
At first, Burke was not one of them; that is, until Travis Green gave his guy a push.
