The 2016-17 New York Islanders season featured a major change for the television broadcast on MSG+. For the past 21 years, Howie Rose has held the play-by-play role on television, but decided to step down from that role at the end of last season. This past August, MSG Networks hired Brendan Burke to replace Rose alongside analyst Butch Goring and reporter Shannon Hogan on the Islanders broadcast team.
With the Isles battling down the stretch, Brendan Burke participated in a Q&A with Elite Sports NY to discuss his first season covering the Islanders and coming home to the metropolitan area.
