Isles to Play in Brooklyn 10/2 VS the Devils!

It was posted on the Islanders website about two hours ago that the Islanders would be playing a preseason game against the Devils at the new Barclays Center in Brooklyn on October 2nd.

The Barclays Center officially opens on September 28th with concerts by Jay Z. If you dont know Jay Z is a minority owner of the Nets who are the primary tennant in the building.

This reminds me of when the Isles played the preseason game in KC VS the Kings in 2009. I have a strange hunch though that this game will be much better attended then that game was though. Hopefully if executed correctly this can give a much better message and do more then the game in KC did at the time, since that did very little if anything.
