The time has nearly come. The New York Islanders will open their brand-spanking-new arena tomorrow night against the Calgary Flames, the franchise to whom they will be forever linked thanks to expansion.
The two franchises debuted against one another at Nassau Coliseum on October 7, 1972, a 3-2 Atlanta Flames win and one of 60 Isles’ losses that season.
What will tomorrow night hold? I don’t know, but I cannot wait to get to Belmont tomorrow.
