So Long, Nassau Veteran's Memorial Coliseum

When it was announced that the New York Islanders would be packing up operations at Nassau Veteran's Memorial Coliseum to move to Barclay's Center in Brooklyn, I felt it would be a great opportunity for me to participate in a part of history as it were. I never experienced the Chicago Stadium, the Montreal Forum, Maple Leaf Gardens, the Spectrum in Philadelphia, or the Hartford Civic Center (RIP "Brass Bonanza").

So after a couple months of planning, I made the trip out to Long Island to see the Islanders host the Montreal Canadiens for what would prove to be a tilt that could possibly determine the top-seed in the East at the time.
