It was the sort of day governors and other powerful people dream of, when almost no one complains about what they say or do.

Andrew Cuomo could not have had a better Saturday on Long Island if he had spent it rescuing kittens from trees or handing out cotton candy at a local park.

He announced before the Islanders’ 4-0 loss to the Bruins at NYCB Live’s Nassau Coliseum that their ill-fated detour to Brooklyn will be over forever after a March 22 game against the Hurricanes at Barclays Center.
