Chris Bailey, the father of New York Islanders forward Josh Bailey, celebrated a goal by his son's team with a turkey call on live television Saturday.

MSG reporter Shannon Hogan was interviewing the Islanders' dads, who were at the game against the Carolina Hurricanes at the PNC Arena in Raleigh, when Nikolay Kulemin scored a goal in the first period.
Hogan said Bailey's dad had promised to do something different to celebrate and Islanders goal and he did just that, inserting an instrument into his mouth and doing a turkey call.
