Are Isles ready to say ‘Goodbye Brooklyn’?
Brooklyn’s NHL Team Reportedly Looking into Queens Relocation
“Hello, I Must Be Going!” is the title of a 1982 Phil Collins album.
It also very well may represent what’s going on at Downtown’s Barclays Center as the New York Islanders, fresh off their first year at the state-of-the-art arena, are reportedly in discussions to move to Queens.
According to a Bloomberg News report, the Islanders are in talks with the Wilpon family, owners of the New York Mets, to get out of Barclays, which has been harshly criticized by fans, as well as some players, for obstructed views and shoddy ice conditions since the formerly Long Island-based NHL team officially moved here last fall.
