Yea, I saw that on Deadspin over the weekend. Rumor has it NJ asked to host the draft but Betteman responded with "Sorry, I dont think the Islanders will be around much longer"

Furry convention chose Pittsburgh for their annual convention.

Perhaps that's why pittsburgh keeps winning 'best place to live'.. furries stuffing ballot boxes?

People pretending to be animals in Pittsburgh?? Isn't it usually the other way around??

Very funny.:target: :ss:

If it helps, it was more about the shit Betteman gives NJ than the fact that LI wont support an owner whos overly-willing to keep his team there

The Islanders are probably going to end up in one of three places. Queens, Brooklyn or Suffolk. They aren't going very far from Nassau County.

I dunno, I don't see any of NYC voting for a new hockey arena for the Isles. I see them going to Canada somewhere.

Chuck has already spoken with the people involved with the arena being built in Brooklyn. He's also spoken to people in Suffolk County. The President of the Chamber of Commerce of Queens has made it very clear that Queens wants the Islanders. An arena can be built as part of the Willetts Point project in Queens. Chuck is expected to submit plans.

I honestly expect the Islanders to stay in NY, just not in Nassau County.
