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.

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.
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.....
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.
whats the deal with brooklyn getting all of these teams... snyone been to that new stadium what is it like?
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.

not that it matters because all of nov. is now cancelled and next week will be the winter classic
their will be no hockey this year....
Unfucking real...
more time for the Kings to bask in the glory of the Cup win!
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.

You gotta feel good for the people of Brooklyn though.
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.

I love the Isles- they will be lucky to make the playoffs before the move to BK

I wouldn't write hockey off this year just yet .......in 94 / 95 they didn't get a deal done until mid January .....And here is a pre emptive FU for reminding me how the season before ended :evil:

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.

All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you.
dont compare hose bandwagon fans to me and my fans
nobody shows up till round 3 for them
and nobody even mentions them at all till round 2
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.

lets not put the carriage before the horse.
ok, ok, ok.... let's hope the leafs win a cup before they have to move into another new stadium.
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?
