Islanders fans tend to have two reactions when they learn of Brendan Burke’s national television opportunities.
The second goes like this: Good for him! But the first goes like this: Will he miss any Islanders games?
The good news for fans of the team and its play-by-play announcer is that through the end of the calendar year, Burke is not scheduled to miss any of MSG Networks’ Islanders games for his new job at Turner.
