I think this is the first time an Isles player has said they would miss playing in our ol’ dump of an arena

Think its good that they have sorted a deal to go to Brooklyn, really looked like they could be have been moving a lot further away!

I love JT, have a major soft spot for the Islanders, and totally understand nostalgia, but … come on bud…

I’ll never forget the first time I walked into the Coliseum … felt like I had finally discovered time travel.

First, it’s nice to see SOMETHING on the islanders here. Second, I can’t wait till they get to Brooklyn!!!!!!!!

Is he crazy?!? Nassau arena sucks compared to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Barclays will be state of the art.

Thank the sweet lord jesus that Garth locked him up. There are very few players, if any, in the entire league that I would trade Tavares for. He’s going to be a monster.

No sleep til Brooklyn
