Technically Brooklyn is Long Island as well
- mighty13duck

Brooklyn is geographically on Long Island. Jurisdictionally it is part of the City of New York.

Nobody "knew" he was going to sell anytime. Wanting to sell and selling are two different things. His asking price was absurd (although not too absurd, since he got it and more apparently). Big picture people, look at the big picture. Two years is chicken s**t comparted to the last 20 or so we've endured with horrible ownership and bad decision-making.

I just read today Bobby Nystrom said they knew for years wang was looking to sell. For me, once I read Wangs loan was being called to the tune of 120 shmill this year.....I knew he was going to sell.

I read the Nystrom thing too and I have no doubt that Wang wanted out the minute the Lighthouse died and the referrendum didn't pass. But he didn't sell the team until now. That implies that he was actively shopping them for years before finding a buyer to meet his price.

Ahhh, a Lana lover.

Yeah, she's pretty hot as well.


Although, the way she says "PUTIN" annoys me.

I agree with you. But before yesterday's announcement there was no light at the end of the tunnel and there was no end in sight to Wang's majority, decision-making reign. Now there is. Two years away is better than uncertainty.
- Jethro09


We knew he was going to sell. Barroway debacle was public a months now. The loan was due and there was noooo wayyyy wang was paying 120 million.

I get it 2 years from now things will change. But for 2 years wang will have final say on everything. That's absurd.

Like what....Quebec or Seattle? Sure it's better than that. But, Brooklyn is a mini manhattan. It will feel like going to the garden.

Was there really a lot of tailgating going on before games?

Like, pull out the BBQ 3 hours before games kinda tailgating, or just a bunch of guys drinking beer in a parking lot kinda tailgating?

This is an honest question.

- Atomic Wedgie


The BBQ people ..there were a few.. but the bulk were drinking in a parking lot.

until Wang out, he calls all the shots. He doesn't care what others think.
Until he completely out, im not saying anything.
