NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The Islanders’ final season at the Nassau Coliseum was thrilling and emotional, but it was also highly disappointing.
New York played brilliant hockey for months but faltered down the stretch, finishing third in the Metropolitan Division with a 47-28-7 record (101 points).
The Isles lost their opening-round playoff series in heartbreaking fashion, falling to the Capitals in seven games.
Now a new era begins in Brooklyn, as the Isles’ new home — beginning next season — will be Barclays Center.
In Friday’s edition of Newsday, Islanders owner Charles Wang addressed a letter to his fans.
