Phil Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 Cool, so they can go back to being irrelevant on LI. Winning would solve that. Tavares is key there. Now that he knows they're returning to the island, does he re-sign?

LONG LONG LONG TIME FAN Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Sadly, the political hacks prevented the then owner, Charles Wang from renovating the Coliseum with HIS money and expanding the site. Now they are moving to Queens. Well, Queens is actually part of Long Island or vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 So is Brooklyn. The issue has been on the ice. The fans do exist (or did). They've just had no real reason to invest.

Bugg Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Odd that Dolan and MSG are investors in this arena. NHL doesn't view this as a conflict of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the part where they are going to allow the Icelanders to build the NEW MAUSOLEUM for their 3500 fans is on the Nassau side in beautiful scenic Elmont, a place that makes the Devils home in Newark look elegant.

Blue Heaven Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/hockey/islanders/islanders-split-time-nassau-coliseum-barclays-center-article-1.3785236 In an unusual arrangement, the NHL team will split time between the Coliseum and its current home at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn for at least three years while a new arena is built at Belmont Park, a source said. Gov. Cuomo, team officials, and the NHL are scheduled to make an announcement at the Coliseum on Monday morning. Newsday reported the team next season will play 12 regular-season home games at Nassau Coliseum, with the expectation that will grow to half its home games in the remaining seasons before the new arena opens. The rest will be played in Brooklyn. Kind of sounds like a logistical nightmare for scheduling purposes and a pain in the ass for the Islander players.

Morphinity 2.0 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 That's... pretty bad. Can't imagine this will be like them playing one night at Barclays then the next at Nassau, but still. Really tough to build a true fanbase when you're not playing in one building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
