After years of waiting, the first sporting event at Brooklyn's Barclays Center is nearly upon New Yorkers. Tickets for the Oct. 2 National Hockey League game, which will pit the New York Islanders against the New Jersey Devils, will go on sale Thursday.
Someone's been studying at the Brett Yormark Institute of Hyperbole:
“We're extremely excited to play the first NHL game in the new, state-of-the-art Barclays Center,” said Garth Snow, general manager of the Islanders, in a statement, noting that a large part of the team's fan base is already in Brooklyn.
NoLandGrab: We know a thing or two about the NHL, and we can honestly say we have never, ever encountered an Islander fan in Brooklyn.
Then again, "a large part" of the Islanders' "fan base" would fit neatly into Freddy's Backroom.
