Back to Nassau until they find a new arena? Apparently Queens want one. There is a joke going on the All Star Game saying Bettman would rather have 3 franchises in NYC before he gets one in Quebec. Plus this is going to make the NHL look really bad if they can't sustain two NYC Franchises. But good riddance and RIP Honky

Just go back there. As a die hard Rangers fan, thats where the Isles belong.

I don't think Hitch was the main problem but the one thing I would say his mixing the lines was a bad idea. He needed to keep them together more so the can get chemistry. They also replaced the Goaltender coach as well now Brodeur and Conklin the interim.

I wonder if the Blues management are having buyer's remorse on Yeo, considering what Boudreu is doing in Minnesota this year with essentially the exact same team.

I wonder if the Blues management are having buyer's remorse on Yeo, considering what Boudreu is doing in Minnesota this year with essentially the exact same team. This is how I look at the timing. I think they where kind of hoping they come off the all star break on this run but the first game was more of the same as it's been. Allen came in after time off to get his head on straight and boom more the same bad playing with the DF doing the same. Honestly I get why they wanted Hitch for one more year after the run. The issue should have been one or the other and not both with Yeo and Hitch on the bench telling players two different things. They are two different styles. I blame Armstrong for not putting a team together that fits either one of there styles. Hitch wanted a more bigger side, then you should signed Backes or Brower back. Yeo wants speed, there not enough of that. This off season will be interesting on what moves that will make and who they can bring in. As easy as people say Oh Allen needs to go or so and so when the names said have multi year contracts that Armstrong gave out to IMO the wrong players outside of Tarasenko. Hitch is retiring at the end of the season anyway, Knowing that but knowing you wanted Yeo to be in the club. You should let yeo being the one and only from the start and let him build the team one way instead of this back and forth confusing every player. That what I think happened, the players got lost. Maybe now withe one voice they become more consistent in playing style.

They also replaced the Goaltender coach as well now Brodeur and Conklin the interim. Armstrong needs to go. We should have just let Hitch walk and promoted Shaw. Instead, we bring back Hitch for one final year and hire Yeo as the HC. Both were TERRIBLE moves. You're trying to go in two different directions at once and we saw how effective that was. Hitch also had the problem of offensive philosophy. He's a knuckle-dragging dump and change coach. Not only is it lame hockey, but we do not have the team for it. The only two guys who have the speed for that game are Yak and Fabbri, and Yak was a healthy scratch most nights. We shouldn't be relying on Steen or Lehtera or Jaskin to win any puck races, and that's exactly what we're doing. Sadly, Yeo is more of the same.

I agree and I blame Armstrong for not signing up players that works in that style, which as we both agree he needs to go. Yak is a talented player but he never going to show it when he hardly gets play time.

I don't know if I'm more excited to watch the Oilers try and bounce back tonight or watch and see if Oilers Twitter has another meltdown like Tuesday night.

Well first night with Yeo, the Blues win 5 to 1. Allen look much better then he as been. The team was really aggressive on shooting and getting after the puck. It was sure a different style that was effective last night. I hope they can build on it and not become what it has been all year. One great game followed by a bunch of bad ones. They have a tough one next but was a team they did well against on the road.

Oilers better claim Riberio off the waivers. Seriously.

Except the Coliseum shrunk in seating. Hockey would only be 12,000. So what The Islanders average in attendance anyways. Yeah, though Bettman will never go for it, given the stink he raised over the Jets playing in, what, a 15,000+ seater? New Nassau sounds like it may hold up to 13,000, but the original deal was that it'd get six Islanders home games a year, one Nets exhibition game a year, and a full-time AHL team; hard to see the NHL being alright with them going back. The whole thing is ridiculous, really. The thing that originally tossed the Isles out was the failure of Charles Wang's Lighthouse Project, which was supposed to be a massive development project in Uniondale: Long Island voters rejected using public money for it, so Wang sold the team and away to Brooklyn they went, a compromise that at least kept them on Long Island. Having been to a preseason Devils/Isles game there, I'll say that it's a pretty fun area to pre-game in, and it's super convenient to get to via train, but yeah, the sight lines suck and it's clearly not designed with hockey in mind. But here's the big catch - back in the day this area had three big arenas: Madison Square Garden, Brendan Byrne Arena (NJ Meadowlands), and Nassau Coliseum. Given the population of this area and how long it takes to travel the seemingly short distance between Long Island and New Jersey, it worked pretty well. However, here we are in the 21st century, and now every team wants to own their own venue rather than playing somewhere that's municipally owned, since they want all the fancy big money bells and whistles. Now, instead of just the three arenas, we've still got MSG (Knicks/Rangers) and Byrne (now Izod Center), the Coliseum is still around but just slightly reduced in capacity, and now we also have Prudential Center in Newark (Devils) and Barclays Center in Brooklyn (Nets), plus there's a good chance they'll build a new arena for the Islanders in Queens by Citi Field once the development project there goes up. At a certain point, do we hit the point of diminishing returns? Hell, don't forget that the Jets nearly got their own Manhattan-based stadium in Manhattan a few years back, before Metlife Stadium got made. And yet(!), now that the Nassau renovation is on... they're putting a development with restaurants/bars/shops/etc. there anyway! Certainly not as big as the proposed Lighthouse project, but now the only thing that will kill the idea of having the Isles play there again is the fact that they've gone with a 13,000 seater for hockey. So now the Knicks and Rangers will have their own arena, so will the Devils, so will the Isles, so will the Nets, plus there'll be the Coliseum in Uniondale...sheesh.

Damn is Riberio up to his old ways because how does a veteran center with 25 points on pace for a 40-50 point season who is a UFA at the end of the season with a low cap hit not get claimed?
