Built it and maaaaaaaaaaaybe they'll come.
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman met with sports editors today to address a few league issues and to casually put his foot in his mouth by condoning some equally clueless sexism.
But the subject of the Islanders' move to Brooklyn and their no-doubt-just-a-matter-of-time-because-the-guy-at-Carvel-told-me-so move back to Uniondale came up and Bettman said what a lot of us here have been saying for a very, very long time: Nassau has more hot air than a WWII blimp leaving Mitchell Field.
As captured by Newsday's Jim Baumbach on Twitter, Bettman threw around a lot of cold water, including some on the once expected "six home games" that could be played at a new Nassau Coliseum, which, technically, if you want to nitpick, hasn't actually been built yet and whose very existence is not guaranteed.
