Brooklyn Islanders

[jstewismybastardson]

cmon guys. this was funny, and yet none of you laughed..

i brushed it off as a statement of fact

I'm just a dumb Canadian and didn't know that Brooklyn was actually part of Long Island. So thanks for the knowledge.

Haha! Don't be too hard on yourself dash. Brooklyn and points east of Nassau are two different worlds, even if they share the same island.

Personally, I don't want them to change the name.

:globe:

THE TIP OF THE "I" IN ISLANDER POINTS TO UNIONDALE!!!

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!! LOGO NEEDS TO BE CHANGED YESTERDAY TO CONFORM WITH GEOGRAPHICAL TRUTHS!!!

/lol

They could always go back to the Gorton's Fisherman logo. That one was a real winner

A tweet from LeBrun:

From a Rangers fan in my chat at ESPN: The Worldwide Leader In Sports, ``Now the Rangers have 3 home arenas. What a great day.''

So how long before the Brooklyn Islanders become the L.A. Islanders?

(too soon?)

Sorry Denis that went to shit when this happened

Denis Potvin chimes in:

“I hate the fact the logo is going to change. Can you imagine? You’re going to have our logo just dying. You’ll have to go to the history books to see what it looks like. There’s only one other franchise in NHL history that put together four straight Stanley Cup wins like we did and nobody’s going to bury (the Montreal Canadiens’) CH, you know? Our whole legacy will only be a history dot.

“The more I think about this, the more it makes me sad."

lol on twitter

i am STILL blown away by how easy it was for Wang to move this storied franchise when Phoenix is still sitting that crap market. just amazed at this. and utterly totally shocked.

shocked at how the NHL runs its business how it treats its fans and cares none for the integrity of the game but all for the $$. I get profit I do. but history it seems means 2 things jack and shit and jack left town back in 1995......

Frak you Gary Bettman and your Puppet Masters

Brooklyn Islanders... They should go with some sort of Rasta motif.

Is this technically considered a move though? They're still going to be the NY Islanders, right?

I'm assuming the league needs to sign off on any new facility for a team, but I don't think it would technically count as a franchise relocation.
