I thought she left you? Did she fall off this cliff after leaving you? If so where were you the day she fell?

Question about being committed to Barclays vs. moving back to LI and the rumored out-clause:

He basically danced around it but said "Wow..well I'll say this: We're committed to NY"

Sounds like maybe the out-clause is a realistic possibility.

Realistic perhaps, but unlikely. I think Ledecky is just keeping his options open, and maximizing leverage on future dealings.

No, my wife left me.

My girlfriend fell off a cliff. Died on impact.

I'm starting to suspect one was the result of the other.

I bet you're fun at parties.

By the way, Brooklyn is booming and is the place to be in NYC now. Not my particular cup of tea, but if you think Brooklyn, as a whole, is "rotting" then I think maybe you should venture outside your Central Suffolk bubble.

That's great but I know for a fact that the players hate Brooklyn. That's why Okposo left. That's why Nielsen left. And that's why Martin left. Expect more to follow. Inside info

So they told garth they hated it and he decided to not even bother trying to offer 2 of the 3 a contract

Can you provide a little more detail? Like why do the players all hate Brooklyn?

It would have to be the commute but most teams do it so idk

I disagree, bc KO left is just simple, no offer was made, no contact at all, that was the writing on the wall. Martin was looking for his payday and isles couldn't do it with current situation. Franz chose to go somewhere else that would allow him more mins than currently getting (maybe) but in whole those players are not part of the core and wasn't part of the future (thankfully)
This Brooklyn excuse is a bit old to players who make $$$$ so I don't buy it...

Casey said tonight his favorite part about Barclays is the train commute, so he can clear his head before the game. Barclays isn't perfect, but imo the complaints about it go way too far.

No, my wife left me.

You're about the 400th person I've come across to have "inside info" about the Islanders. We all know someone that worked in ticket sales. You have zero inside info.

The fact is that Okposo and Martin were made an initial offer and there was no negotiation, aka they were low-balled and essentially let go.

Even if Nielsen hated playing in Brooklyn, that doesn't mean that everyone is going to be against it. Andrew Ladd sure doesn't seem to have a problem with it.

Because inside info.

Someone I know that knows a sales exec there once told me that Wang was going to sell the team to a group of 4 Hasidic Jews. That panned out exactly as reported.
