I loved Nassau Coliseum when the Islanders played there. I defended it to anyone, anywhere, conceding the tight concourses and the B.S. amenities and all that while emphasizing it was still the best NHL arena I’d been to for watching hockey. The sightlines and distance of ever arena built since 1993 made me concerned about what the Islanders would end up with. (Little did I know...although similarly I never gave a damn about the scoreboard in Brooklyn or anywhere else.)
So I think it’s cool the Islanders get to play some more there; we all thought it was done and gone for good.
