Rich guys: they're just like us!
The Islanders open their first regular season as Barclays Center tenants on October 9th and NHL commissioner Gary Bettman doesn't plan on watching it on TV.
While attending the Beyond Sport United conference at the Prudential Center on Wednesday, Bettman told Neil Best of Newsday that he'll be in the crowd to watch the Islanders take on the defending champion Chicago Blackhawks that evening. A game, by the way, that might not have been simply the result of the luck of the scheduling draw.
