Will play at the new Barclay's Center.

If the NHL ever plays again, that is.

That's a bit ambitious making plans 4 seasons ahead.

Still need to fire the GM and the owner if they have any hopes of filling that paltry arena. Will there actually be enough seats for travelling Rangers fans?

What did the say in the past about seating for NHL games? About 14k-16k?

Edit......it was 14.5k.

They insist they will keep the name "New York Islanders" but they'll still need to update the logo to include Kings (and Queens) County.

They expect to make changes to up that figure by 2015.

Maybe because every time I see the logo it is in the small version, but I never noticed the 'island' part of it. Well also the fact that when does anyone ever search out the NY Islanders logo .

I Brooklynized their look a bit ...

[EmpireWF]

Looks like a Crest toothpaste logo with the swoosh under the team name.

Mexican hockey players? I'd give it a look.

Good. Nassau was a fuckin dump. I go there every year to watch the Bruins beat them up and holy shit its the worst arena I have ever been to.
