The New York Islanders have scheduled a presser this afternoon at the Barclay's Center in Brooklyn. An Islanders press release states: "New York Islanders Owner Charles B. Wang, Barclays Center Majority Owner and Developer Bruce Ratner, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, National Hockey League Commissioner Gary Bettman, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, Islanders General Manager Garth Snow, and Barclays Center and Brooklyn Nets CEO Brett Yormark" will be on hand for the 1 p.m. announcement.
You tell us. Sounds like Wang, who HATES the Nassau County Coliseum, but hasn't been able yet to strong arm the local populace in Uniondale and the surround to buy him something shiny may have just found his shiny new thing. No doubt there will be kicking and screaming over the lease and deals in place on Long Island but at the very LEAST we figure the Isles are planning on playing SOME games at the Barclay's Center with the possibility of playing more, many more, in the future.
UPDATE: Puck Daddy, Yahoo's erstwhile hockey blogger says YES the Isles ARE moving to Brooklyn in 2015.

Rolling Stones release the dates for the Prudential Center
December 13th and 15th are the dates of the Rolling Stones concerts at the Prudential Center. Wha's amazing is that this is a FOUR date concert tour with two of those dates in Newark. The others are in London. The Devils owner had a nice comment on the shows but he's persona non gratis around here until he and his other scumbag NHL owners get over themselves and their greed and start the NHL season.
But back to the Stones. There was also this nugget, that the Stones are filming the December 15th show LIVE:
"...the Stones’ plan to shoot the concert for a pay-per-view event. "One More Shot," to be filmed at the Dec. 15 show..."
New Yorkers had long hyped this 50th Anniversary "tour" as landing at the new Barclay's Center in Brooklyn in November but sadly for them acoustics won out and the shows are in Jersey. No doubt there is plenty of hand wringing and wailing over this choice as New Yorkers think every big show has an obligation to go to them, but thankfully the Glimmer Twins have spent enough time in this world to know there's a whole concert scene outside Gotham.
Tickets on sale 10/26 to the general public and 10/20 if you're a pre-sale kind of music lover. The prices are between $95 and $750 dollars.
