New York Islanders: Barclays Center Light Delay Was Embarrassing

So far this year the New York Islanders have played two games at the Nassau Coliseum. Both games were a sellout, the crowd was into and overall the experience was great for fans. The same can not be said about last night at the Barclays Center.

In last night’s contest, the game had to be delayed for 16 minutes before the third period because the lights wouldn’t turn back on.

Sometimes in other sports games get canceled due to rain, or snow, or something out of human control but in most cases when you play in a building with a roof it’s almost impossible to have a delay or cancellation, well not yesterday.
