As a New York Islanders Season Ticket Holder, the Nassau Coliseum is my second home. After catching around only eight games this season, I was always preparing myself for my last visit.
On May 8, 2021, the Islanders took the ice at Nassau Coliseum for the final time before the post-season. They will start their run for the Stanley Cup today against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
During the first period, the Coliseum was loud even with reduced capacity. Everyone was chanting “Let’s Go Islanders”. Late in the first, Jordan Eberle put one past New Jersey Devils goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood to get the Islanders up 1-0.
