After the lousy turnout I would not be very encouraged. I'm sure some corp will crop up and buy the Isles if the situation arises. It might even be Jay-Z.

And I am too tired to rehash it out Suffice to say that I ripped Wang for his recent "lack of commitment" to the project over the past year. And about the only hope I see now is for a November defeat of Murray. Tough task 45 days before the election. Whoops……..due to "length restrictions" the 1st half of my previous comment was deleted.

And there is no way that Bettman and the NHL will prevent the move (this situation is NOTHING like Phoenix, AMalmut). It's tough for a league to restrain free trade unless they have a really good reason to get involved like a Bankruptcy. At this point, I would suggest that you and Nick and Botta unite to mount the most aggressive blog campaign against a candidate (Murray) in the history of politics. All McElroy, all Anti-Murray..... everyday. The only hope for the LH is to get McElroy elected. And I fully realize that getting that acomplished is a gargantuan task. But stranger things have happened. Cuz Wang ain't gonna do it. Just my opinion...

Because the Islander's have die-hard fans that care about the team to a ridiculous degree, it's been panic city. The TOH probably knows that, hence the "Stonewall" routine.

TOH board declines unless the project is scaled down tremendously or 2. Wang sells the team to a new owner(or group of owners more likely), Bettman and the NHL refuse to move the franchise (just like phoenix) and the TOH will grant the new owners a new arena and not much else.

I really thought that the Lighthouse Project would have had better answers and not gotten into a verbal debate with the Board. I did not read the tea leaves I was given by the ToH, even when the letter itself from them that I had said there would be tough questions. I figured that there would be tough questions and good answers. We got stupid questions, poor answers, not many listening and a lot of circular talk. A recipe for a disaster and honestly, as I said, something I did not expect since the punches were telegraphed. I did.

What say you now?
