Barrie 900 Report post Posted August 6, 2011 The Isles are not a big market team. That market is owned by the Rangers. My company is based on Long Island and I can tell you known of the people at my office care about the Isles....they are all Rangers fans. I agree. There's to much hockey in the New York area, 3 teams is one to many. Bye bye Islanders. I say they're going to Quebec City. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barrie 900 Report post Posted August 12, 2011 The marketing possibilities for the return of this franchise renaming spins the head. I think moving teams to Brooklyn is a good idea. I don't live in New York, just been there twice, but is there really that big of a Manhattan vs. Long Island rivalry going on? I think there's more of a Manhattan vs. Brooklyn thing.

FireCaptain 563 Report post Posted August 15, 2011 Negative. This is about as far from a marketing wet dream as you can get. No one in their right mind would want to ice a team that uses the tragedy of 9/11 as it's sole basis for existence. ESPECIALLY not anyone from NYC.
