Islanders Fans Don’t Forget What Kate Murray Did

Ah, election day, an American pastime where people have the opportunity to vote for representation in their government. For New York Islanders fans, it's also a time where fans seek revenge for what Nassau County politicians did to prevent the team from staying on Long Island.

The perfect example is with Kate Murray. Murray was the Supervisor during the time when the Islanders were trying to pass the Light House Project. That project would've developed the area around Nassau Coliseum, she opposed this idea.

Due to this, and numerous other circumstances along the way, the Isles were forced to pack up and move to Brooklyn, something the fans and team didn't want to do, and Isles fans remembered that at the polls.
