Can't they put the scoreboard at Barclays on some sort of track so they can at least move it over centre ice for hockey?

Because it looks, low rent, amateurish and 2nd rate having it off center

Almost like the Islanders were an also ran consideration to a basketball arena

I'm a northerner living in the south and I've dealt with IT support work for over 10 years now....I can interpret a lot.

God speed. There aren't a ton of areas in the south I think I would survive, mentally. Plus I like the cold.

If the ball and chain didn't hate the cold and snow so much, I'd move back to Buffalo and love it. But since I've been gone for almost 15 years, I'm not complaining too much over the winters here.

I hate snow, or well...shoveling it/digging my car out of it anyway. I certainly wouldn't complain about the loss of that.

so Isles ownership should ask Barclays to move the scoreboard because it bothers you?

so while you're looking at the ice and watching the play does it matter? when you look up for the scoreboard, if you have to turn your head slightly is it going to matter?

is it perfect? nope. Does it matter? nope.

what matters is the guaranteed money the team gets playing there, along with their tv deal and the league's tv deal. New building, happy players. I don't think anyone cares about the scoreboard, it's about the team on the ice.

You are all so well experienced in accepting mediocrity, so I'll leave it to you....

Scoreboard hanging over the blue line = Good

They should do that in every arena
