    Not until 2015..... will the NHL be back by then? Will anyone care?

    I wonder if they change their name/jerseys, that's what I'm most curious about at this point as I don't have a dog in this fight.

    I wish I'd seen the press conference.

    I was just thinking the same thing...will it be Brooklyn Islanders or Brooklyn ........

    I hope they go with the name Brooklyn at least.

    But only 14 500, if they ever start winning again...those tickets will be hard to come by.

    You cant hold that against their fans. They have been plagued by almost 20 years of the worst ownership and management in sports. I know quite a few huge NYI fans that havent been to a game for years because its just futile.

    If they had a decent owner, and made good hockey decisions, people would go to games.

    wow

    The Dolans allowed the Nets so not surprising.

    I concur this is great for hockey, should they resume the game

    As a lifelong Rangers fan, I've hated the Fishsticks forever, although not as much as I've loathed the Devils, Habs and Bullies (at times).

    As a Brooklynite, however, this is exciting. An NHL team in Brooklyn? I'll take it!

    And who knows? After getting completely screwed over by Madison Square Garden (fucking Dolans!), which sold my long-standing 300-level season tickets out from under me last season -- and that was AFTER having held onto my deposit for five months and then taking their sweet time in refunding it -- I might take my business elsewhere when it comes to watching live hockey.

    I went to a ton of games as a kid in the 90's. My dad had season tickets for 6 seasons in 00's and had to give them up caused they cost to much. I haven't gone to game in 3 years cause of ownership and really don't have a desire to. As long as Wang owns this team it will go nowhere. I'm both happy and sad bout the move.

    The arena was a small problem but the real problem has been ownership. Players aren't gonna play for a dunce
    of an owner regardless of a new arena. Joe Lewis Arena is old and dump, but players play there cause of a stable ownership whose committed to winning.
