    Me personally, I don't think NYC should have three teams anyway. The Rangers have proved to be the only successful and consistent draw.
    I would say that the Devils have been more successful than the Rangers. It's just that no one shows up for their games unless its the ECF or SCF.
    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.

    When I mentioned success I mean in terms of attendance.

    Does that make the Toronto Maple Leafs successful...or there are 2 kinds of success...attendance and winning.

    As a fan I'd rather win, as an owner I'd like both but ultimately you want to sell the place out.

    Really great article it todays newsday. It sums up the move very nicely and it makes me proud to call them MY team. I hope to god the isles win one more cup before the move. That be ultimate FU to every person who voted no last year and to every politician who didn't think Wang would ever move them outta Nassau. Nassau will rue the final day of them in Nassau. I hope everyone in Nassau will be happy once people have no desire to go to there cept for shopping malls.

    In the context of my post the Leafs are highly successful.

    Thats the thing with sport...unless you own an NFL franchise...how many owners in any sport are making money? Owning a professional sports team always seemed like a hobby for billionaires.

    Well that's the thing about the leafs, they were owned (87%) by the Ontario Teachers Pension Fund, and are now owned by a Rogers/Bell joint venture... with owners that only care about the bottom $, and posting a profit for their stockholders (or in the case of the pension fund turning a profit on the investment).... why care if you win?

    Winning costs money in terms of buying and retaining good players, coaches, and other staff... every year your fan base is growing, desipte the fact that you haven't won a cup in 44+ years and you don't show signs of getting there anytime soon.... so you've proven that it doesn't matter what kind of product you put on the ice... so why bother making the investment in salaries if you don't need to?

    :fp:

    ah the leafs..... :lol:
    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.

    I page 4 of this thread there is a seating chart for hockey...behind the goal at 1 end there is no seating for hockey...my guess is it was not designed to host NHL games and will seat 15000 for hockey.

    Alot of buisness owners on Hempstead Turnpike are shitting their pants now.
    I give Wang credit- he did try , ...and had such great plans for the place,
    with that proposed Lighthouse Project.

    Where the Isles devoted fans had a somewhat
    centralized location to go to for Nassau and even some of Suffolk,
    now they will need to get used to mass transit ,
    ( where they previously just drove a few minutes to the venue )
    and they will have to likely travel just a little further.
    The LIRR stops right at Atlantic Avenue, so it is feesible,
    but tough on a weekday evening.

    A friend made the same point earlier this week when I was bemoaning the fact that after 20 years of going to lots of games I move away, the Kings win the cup (at least I went to game 2 in Jersey), and we dont have the chance to try and ride the wave of that victory and claw our way into the ranks of hockey's 'good' teams.

    those were great plans for Nassau and in long island and more so the region in general. it woulda solved all of Nassau's problems and made Long Island relevant.

    Nassau County will lose $264 million dollars in annual revenue once the isles move. that's just completely outta this world. I feel bad for the people of Nassau County.

    I'm very seriou. they have the pieces for it as long as Wang make big splashes within the next 2 years, i say 2 years cause this season isn't happening. they have boatload of prospects and a good young core. they just need 1 or 2 superstars and a legit head coach. Wang needs to do all that to get the die hards to go to Brooklyn and so the people of Brooklyn can buy into this.

    they have the pieces for it on the island and in the minors. got a great veteran goalie and 3 good young goalies in the minors. Patrick Roy said Kevin Poulin is one of the best young goalies. you will all see. believe me if you(in general) want or laugh at me, but it's gonna happen for this franchise.
