BAYSHORE, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — What would you say if a hockey team parted with their top player in the offseason, but somehow got better?

Patrick “Sign Guy” Dowd is a lifelong fan and if you don’t recognize him, you probably recognize his iconic signs — over the past 47 years, he’s made hundreds of them. Now that the Islanders are the only team in New York at the top of their division, he’s found some new friends.
