Or LIRR. Everything I've heard (boss is one of the few big dollar Islander season ticket holders) is that the Islanders really really want that spot, so I won't be shocked if this is just a "keep the Islanders from low balling" gesture for either Willets Point or the Bronx parking garages. But like you said, unless you are right at Penn station, it'll preclude much of Manhattan, Queens, and parts of Brooklyn (which would seem like a non-starter).
what is the draw of the area to the Islanders with these issues? Is their fan base not located in those boroughs?
I'm no expert but I believe a significant number of Islanders fans are on Long Island while people in the 5 boroughs tend to be Rangers fans. It might be more important to be convenient to the LIRR than anything else.
It's still more a Long Island fan base as opposed to an NYC one. The Barclays Center is so bad for hockey that they've never been able to make any real headway with fans here (as bad as YS is for soccer, Barclays is much worse for hockey). They want to get out ASAP and Willets Point is still a good 3-5 years from even being a possibility.
The article said they have a 25 year lease at Barclays. I assume that is going to cost a ton of money to get out of.
Nah, the Barclays Center people don't really want the Isles either. They can make more money hosting other events and avoid the bother of reconfiguring the arena 40 times a year for a rink.
NYCFC plays @ Montreal tonight. An ATLUTD win and NYCFC loss would put us in 2nd. A Quakes win at home vs the Fire would be nice too.
This just makes me want to see Jurgen Klopp guest star in a Scooby Doo episode.
This is the tie breaker order:
for you refs and pseudo refs, is this really a red? Is was judged to be so on VAR. Strong tackle but the Revs player seemed to be clearly first to the ball.
Not even a foul, Imo. No schtick.
no ####. HTF is that a foul, let alone a red? You can see he even made an attempt to keep his studs away from the dude's leg as he followed through.
I'd like to hear a little about this game, which was a pretty good result for yer boyos in blue.Not sure if I should discuss Chelsea's last gasp victory in Madrid or ATL United's 3-0 demolition at Mercedes Benz.
I watched the game from my couch, drifting in and out of an anesthesia-induced sleep from a minor medical procedure I had yesterday morning. One thing I recall is that Chelsea played very physical, whereas they normally get pushed around by Atletico. D Luiz made a very stupid mistake that lead to the 1-0 and it easily could have been 2-0 early in the second half when Saul missed a good chance. Chelsea were very aggressive from start to finish and earned the 3 points imo.
I have to think the only reason he did not rescind the red on VAR was out of spite for the way the Revs ganged up on him after he flashed the red. What a joke.
I can only assume he thought the player was trying to kick out at the Orlando player after?? That's all I got
his studs were up... because he was on the ground sliding and won the ball with the inside of his foot. maybe the ref wanted him to be en pointe like a ballerina, pointing his foot straight so those mean old studs weren't facing anywhere but the ground.I can only assume he thought the player was trying to kick out at the Orlando player after?? That's all I got
I am not sure what you mean by rescind on VAR. The VAR made the call for the red card, not the ref, the ref I believe has to follow what var says here. The ref did not give the red card to begin with.
I think that's more likely. I think Kloop is waiting on the Germany ?? job to open next Summer.
