It’s finally happening. The New York Islanders will be holding an appreciation night at the Nassau Coliseum tonight for former GM Bill “The Architect” Torrey. It was a long wait, but it was worth it.
Frankly, it would have been strange to have a Bill Torrey appreciation night at the Barclays Center. While the Barclays Center is still technically home to the New York Islanders, it wasn’t the home that Bill Torrey ‘built’. Celebrating him at the Nassau Coliseum was the right call to make.
But we found out today, that the appreciation for Bill Torrey would go beyond just tonight’s game.
