The scene was bedlam as the 16,170 fans jubilantly filed out of the Coliseum — possibly for the last time.
The old concourses were stuffed with fans dancing, jumping, hugging, high-fiving, chanting as they made their way to the glass doors after the Islanders’ season lived on with a 3-1 triumph over the Capitals. Whether the house off Hempstead Turnpike will play host to another Islanders game, only the hockey gods know.
But that didn’t stop this Long Island celebration. “Let’s Go Islanders’’ and “Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes’’ — the new chant after a goal — filled the decrepit corridors.
