Goddamnit. Wouldn’t it be great to have a day where the Islanders are off (preferably after a huge win and sitting in a playoff spot), and we didn’t have to hear some claptrap about either an arena the team is currently playing in or that someone wants them to play in? Is that too much to ask? Seriously?

Sigh. Forget it. The latest scuttlebutt comes, once again, from Bloomberg News, the studio that brought you, “Barclays Center To Dump Islanders” even though the actual story was much less dire than the headline made it sound.
