available on ticketmaster....ouch....im usually not one to fret about this, but wow....
Attendance will be dismal as usual until they win regularly and create some buzz. It's crucial for them to have a fast start.
Buzz was created all summer.
which buzz was that? Did I miss it?

all kidding aside -- Isles had a great vibe on Sat for the opener. Sellout -- or close to it.. noisy -- no kids filling the seats... a lot of life...
Apparently. Ask Butch/Howie, they described it in detail on Friday's opening game telecast. You must think this year's team is like 3 years ago if you think there's no noticeable difference.
Unfortunately, I think things are going to remain the same/even worse in Brooklyn. I hope I'm wrong.
Doesn't matter where you play. If you win, fans will show.
It is that simple.
I'm not going to listen to Butch and Howie to tell me how to feel about this team. They are PAID to talk well of the Isles.
Ill let you know when there is a good buzz on this team. Isles play half a good season last year , get into the playoffs, lose in 6. That does NOT a good buzz make.
If they continue to play that well into this year, then there could be a buzz. Till then? We see if Jekyll or Hyde wants to show up...
You can honestly admit that you don't feel any different about the Islanders as a team with a chance this year compared to each of the last 10 years?
Agreed-- there are highs and lows -- and we do appear to be in a better place now, than 3 years ago. But we have seen this before (or at least I have --not sure how many years everyone has been watching this team).. where we think we have something and it all goes to pot.
I guess my phrase is that "I'm cautiously optimistic".
Buzz was created all summer. They haven't lost in regulation yet. No excuse. Nobody cares on LI.
I guess all the Brooklyn Isles fans don't want to make the trek all the way to Nassau.
Understandable.
