While the two teams get set to face off tomorrow night in Brooklyn, former Islander now Red Wing was quoted as saying that the move to Kings county has “turned off” players.

“… It was a good team, they’re still a good team. Every team loses guys, what I know is (#Isles) moving (to BK) has turned some guys off.”

This is the same player that turned down 2 offers of 7M by the Islanders so that’s saying something.

To the left, no seating behind the net and look at that scoreboard! (Barclays)

Come on, as a Rangers fan I think this is hysterical. Besides the fact that they have a lopsided looking arena…their scoreboard is as offside as Bob Nystrom was on the Islanders first Cup winning goal!
