10 Reasons the NHL is Also Coming to Brooklyn
8. The Rivalry Would Be Amazing with the Rangers
Real talk: the Rangers-Islanders rivalry hasn’t had much juice since the 80s, when the latter team was one of the best in hockey. But it’s not just about the lackluster on-ice efforts: see number four above, and ask the Rangers fan in your life about their desire to go out to Nassau County to watch a game… Brooklyn vs. Manhattan, on the other hand, would be like a city derby game in European soccer, when two rabid fanbases pour into a stadium and project their incandescent intensity onto the field of play. Oh what a glorious sight that would be.
