bad matchup
I presume half the arena were rangers fans but I didn't watch the game
Probably, but thats how i will always be. A lot of New Yorkers live in Jersey. So unless they were born in jersey or grew up during new Jersey's good years, they'd more likely be a Ranger fan.

But I think we'll be good next year. This year we're downloading a lot of information as one of the youngest teams in the league

I've met 1 islander fan in my life. That was ~20 years ago, and he was probably 40 at the time. Islanders aint been relevant since whenever the fukk they had that dynasty :russ:

Islanders fan seem to be :mjpls:

Still its crazy to me to have 3 nhl teams so close together. Toronto maple laughs blocked hamilton when they tried to get a nhl team

I do feel bad for ya'll Toronto fan, as I have family up their. But I also remember those battles when yall had Tie Domi, Mats Sundin, and Darcy Tucker (such a white name, lol). You and the Senators had me worried in the playoffs

Islanders fans are absolutely :mjpls:

Islanders fans are all on Long Island. And I mean Long Island Long Island. Not Brooklyn and Queens Long Island. Only exceptions are the people who became fans in the period between when the dynasty squad was on the rise and when Dale Hunter cheap shotted Pierre Turgeon. Or they wanted to be contrarian to spite all the Rangers fans.

Also Rangers fans invading Prudential (or Continental Airlines Arena before that) is nothing new. They've been doing it from day 1. Rangers fan base greatly outnumbers the combined Devils and Islanders fanbases and out of all the NYC area teams they're the most ride or die. Plenty of Rangers fans in North Jersey and multi-generation ones.

It's crazy to me that Arizona has an NHL team. That's a travesty. The Coyotes need to move to Quebec City and rebrand as the Nordiques.
