The trip to a game went from about 25 minutes by car to an 1:20 by train from western Suffolk. The Barclays scheduling also sucks for me since the islanders have all of like 3 Wednesday or Friday night games all season because the Nets get scheduling priority those nights. Those are my nights off from work and I haven't been able to make it to a game all year. It's not laziness that keeps me from seeing games.

I don't live out in Coram or Riverhead. It takes an hour or more from an arch from Wantagh - Bethpage - Glen Cove and further out. That's All of Suffolk and a decent chunk of Nassau that make it inconvenient as hell to get to a game from. More expensive tickets, more hassle, more travel costs and time and up until the Cappy firing a losing product. No surprise a lot of the original fan base wasn't making the extra effort to get to the barclays to have crappier sight lines and pay more for concession (which were much better tasting at least). Also hurting them are all the monday/tuesday/thursday home games instead of Friday ones. The guaranteed revenue from the arena deal is great and worth it for the team, but if they end up having to renegotiate those terms then why stay? The Coliseum was/is a dump and a half but Barclays has plenty of its own problems. Rotten Cookies posted:Josh Ho-sang getting good ice time, time on PP, overtime, and a spot in the shootout. And he looks alright doing it! He's looked real good, lot of jump and hasn't made many mistakes so far. Aside from that 3rd period PP shift where he just didn't want the puck and played hot potato with Seidenberg? 7 or 8 times in a row.

CBJSprague24 posted:N: Alexander Wennberg won't play today due to a stiff neck which resulted from a questionable cross-check/head first into the boards hit by Ryan Strome. alternatively N: Alexander Wennberg won't play today due to a stiff neck after he takes an awkward spill into the boards after blowing a tire right as Ryan Strome does something that happens dozens of times a game. V: No penalty was called on the play. Good job, NHL
