Islanders Moving To Brooklyn In 2015

They were never gonna stay in Nassau, Suffolk didn't pony up. The logical place was either Brooklyn or Queens. But now they move to a building that will be borderline awful for hockey viewing.

Pros and cons, I suppose. But the Isles will stay on the Island.

It's not until 2015 so renovations can be easily made. Great move for the Isles

Why would they change them? They're moving 30 miles, there's no reason to.
