This is actually nothing new. No need to read it all. Recycled from other stuff but any news that puts more pressure on Wang to answer questions or brings our situation to light and pisses off Bettman about negative press is great. Have to HAVE to get rid of Wang as owner and all the other crap underneath him could then be replaced with capable people...only then will these kids develop. http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/brookl...l#ixzz1ALYzYz94

This team needs a future plain and simple...and I ain't talking about players and personnel. All we have right now is a big fat question mark beyond the current lease. I really am starting to enjoy watching the kids "develop"...but ultimately what's the point for us and them when we don't know if we have a team when these guys hit their prime? Maybe I'm old fashioned...but how much emotion can you invest in a team with an expiration date

Wouldn't mean any increase of anything. The Islanders have long been established as having its base of fans in Nassau and Suffolk County. If anything, they would lose fans. Then again, it's all about winning. Watch the Devils attendance sink over the next couple of years despite being in a nice arena. It has NOTHING to do with the building. It's all about the wins and losses. |

Yes, but when El Cheapo and Snowball have them brainwashed that their decisions aren't the reason the franchise is a disaster and it's all about the building, etc, who can blame them? |

"clearly it's Rick DiPietro's stupidity that's put the islanders in this situation getting into an altercation when a game was over..." Keith Jones on VS "But the Coliseum became a repository for all the team's troubles, a convenient scapegoat. There were suggestions that no major free agent ever would set foot in such a decrepit place. We have two words for anyone making that argument: Fenway Park. History says free agents would play in an old boxcar if they got enough money and had a chance to win." - Mark Herrmann 查理斯 · 請死你混蛋 | |

u guys are nuts.. they wouldnt lose any fans... so hockey fans in long island would not root for the islanders if they relocated to a borough? they would gain a ton of fans.. people would go to the games... what was the islanders excuse in the late 80s ad 90s ? the building? its gettin old already... players that are drafted have no choice but to play in the building .. friend once told me that there are 2 types of people.. people that make excuses and people who adapt and overcome change.. they need more fans, more revenue and more people in the seats... the city brings that.. u dont think so pass what ur smoking.. |
