I'll admit that I know very little about Hockey but I was reading articles about the lockout and some notes about the struggles the Islanders are having in Long Island. Here are the facts as I know them:

- Brooklyn has a new arena.
- That arena is hosting hockey. The KHL is hosting a game there in January.
- The Islanders havent been able to secure a new arena.
- The Islanders old arena is a dump.
- Brooklyn's arena needs as many events as possible to help fund the building costs.

So why cant/wont they move to Brooklyn like the Nets?
