No, I distinctly remember the Islanders getting off to a very good start last year and then falling apart. That won't happen this year because we finally have leaders and legitimate stars and superb coaching.

Is anyone else SHOCKED Ozzie is doing so good? I thought he was over the hill 2 years ago. I guess ending up in the nation's #1 market was the shot in the arm he needed. Damn, let the good times roll.

i can't believe it. i got nervous when they didn't have more than a 1-0, though they were kicking Hurricane ass. then Carolina tied it up....last few years that's an Islander loss, but things are different this year. 6-0-0-1....LETS'S GO ISLANDERS

Nice. Just... nice.
I'm enjoying this. I didn't have any plans to get to a game yet, but I'm really psyched to get out to the Coliseum now.

did you see at the end of the game they announced the star of the game, and there was absolutely no one in the crowd, how can they not get sellouts when they're the best team!?

Calm down, they have been the best team for 6 games.

The Devils have been the best team for 5 years and they still dont get good crowds.

Believe me, If the Islanders keep playing this way, the Coliseum will be packed eventually.

FB are you still pissed off at having the highest payroll in the league last year and not making the playoffs?

Islander fans finally have something to cheer about and you have to be a dick and post in a thread where it is about Islander fans talking about the season.

The devils get nobody in their arena because the CAA sucks

You dont see me in the Rangers chat thread making fun of them or putting them down.

What was the announced attendance? It's not uncommon for most of the people to leave immediately after the game, especially after overtime on a weeknight when they have to go to work the next day. In an overtime game, it also isn't unusual for the crowd to wait a few minutes before the 3 stars are released.

I just want to know what the problem is with the Coliseum? Everyone says how bad it is, but can anyone give a specific, personal bad experience they have had that was directly caused by the venue?

Yes, we all know about the scoreboard on the ice (Which has since been replaced with a state-of-the-art scoreboard.) But if you never knew about that, would you go?

I've been from the press box to the locker rooms to every section of seats and I can't find an outstanding problem. If there are people who won't see a game because of the arena, then I don't want them supporting my team to begin with.

Could it have anything to do with the fact that the YANKEES were playing the M's?

Face it the hockey season for most fans doesnt start until baseball is over. When the Yankees win the Series or arent playing that day you will see the place packed

Tequila,
obviously the Yankees kept the crowd down, but I'm not sure people will return so fast. (I hope they do). Islanders management has to work hard to fill the arena for a variety of reasons; winning doesn't bring back fans as fast as it should, and arenas need some corporate purchases to really fill house; those corporate sales go slowly.

wasn't the yankees game in the 9th inning by the time the hockey game was over anyway? obviously not many loyal islander fans went to the game

i don't give a shit who is in the crowd, as long as the Isles keeps winning. you know if they keep winning they will eventually come, but those aren't always the Islander fans i like. looking forward to an early game today, followed by the Yankees. Retiring #19 today. LET'S GO ISLANDERS!!!!

7 games
and in response to stuff about the coliseum - I absolutely love that place, I've been there so many times I've almost lost count. The atmosphere is great, the fans rock the joint when it's full, and everything there is just classic. The only bad thing I can think of is the obstructed view in the last rows behind the goals, but that's it.
I hope if/when they build a new arena that they keep the locker rooms in the same general area. I don't want them to come out behind the bench like lots of new teams. It looks so much cooler, and it's an Isles tradition in my mind, if they come out onto the ice by the goal line, like they do now.

See thats jus the thing, when Ranger fans make fun of Devils fans and say that they get more attendance in the Garden, sometimes it only cuz the seats were purchased by coperations, but those people never show up. So Isles fans jus gotta get outta their houses andinto the arena. If i lived closer to the Coliseum, even id go to some games.
