    Not until 2015..... will the NHL be back by then? Will anyone care?
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    14,500 ... Still less than they drew the last 10 years :lol:

    This is good for hockey.

    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.

    "Congratulations Brooklyn, you have the Islanders.... oh but we have no plans to play ANYTIME soon"

    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.

    How pissed off are the 13,000 fans that actually attended games at the old dump last year and now have to dick around and go to Brooklyn to see games?
    This is a good move for a few years and if the team doesnt win then this will be a bad move and they will average even less than the 13k from last year.

    Have you looked at their roster? Holy shit, they were lucky to pull 13k last year, they are awful.

    Now that I think about it, for Islanders fans, at least they didn't move to Kansas City or the great white north. Also works well for the local taxpayers.

    :lol::lol::lol: you say that like winning is a possibility.... that's about as likely as Dipietro playing more than 20 games in a season AND posting a GAA <3:lol:

    Yea... enough to stuff all their fans down and wash them into lake michigan with the rest of the turds... :P

    grrr... wings fans... I wonder how many of you will dissappear when the team has a losing season again... I swear I didn't know a single wings fan before the 96-97 season... and now I can't beat them off with a stick...
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    No lower bowl( ice level ) seats behind 1 goal.

    Will be the worst arena for hockey with the worst possible sight lines.
