Reason for Isles Opener on Sunday @ 6pm

What is a "proper home opener"?

Right here, using the google, I was able to quickly find a full list of NHL home openers.

Assuming a "proper home opener" is a Saturday, because that's what the Islanders always had in Nassau, it would appear that only 6 out of 30 teams are getting "proper home openers" this year. That's a really bad job by the NHL, 24 fanbases must be livid. Not only that, but 18 of the 30 home openers take place between a Monday and a Thursday, so over half the league's fanbases are going to not even have a weekend home opener of any kind. Should the league offices be burned yet?

And all those buildings, the team is not the primary tenant...

You know how I roll.

When you go to Brooklyn? Kevlar vest and bullet proof windows I'm assuming.

Maybe they can get Jay-Z to sing the anthem after Beyonce smacks him silly.
