PITTSBURGH – Josh Bailey is getting some national airplay. Or at least the song chanted to him by the Nassau Coliseum crowd is.
"Yeah, it’s fun to have that many people behind you supporting you," Bailey said on Monday at PPG Paints Arena before the Islanders faced the Penguins in Game 5 of their first-round series, which is tied 2-2. "It’s a good feeling. Then, for me, personally, to have my wife and kids at the game was pretty cool, too. The boys are pretty excited."
Long a staple at Islanders’ home games for the playmaking wing, the "Hey, Josh Bailey," chant came through loud and clear on NBC Sports’ broadcast of Saturday afternoon’s Game 4.
