Hope you're playing on the new rink. The old one there sucks. And the locker rooms don't have showers. I walk down through the rink to the new locker rooms just to shower so I don't have to drive home to East Islip stinking like rotten death.

You needed a shower if you walked through the old locker rooms.

@blairmacgregor Still being negotiated Blair. Last I heard, CW was not ready to walk away completely. So could be a partial sale.

As long as he's not the majority owner it's fine with me.

No way. Takes me 30 mins to Syosset or Newbridge. From my house, it's 15 mins just to the LIE.

That would suck. I wouldn't be surprised. As has been said before, it doesn't make sense for him to sell now unless he has financial problems and he needs the money.

This sale is not going to be good for the blood pressure of Island fans.

which was the only way I thought he'd ever do it. I don't think he EVER wanted to be the sole owner.

I hear you. So you're in the north part I'm guessing? I lived on Monfort for a while(actually next to that graveyard behind the post office where that big hill is where all the kids sleigh ride)and Sands Point. If you live far north Port Washington is a b!tch to get out of. Some of the worst drivers I've ever seen live in that town. Newbridge is a pain from the north shore of course.

Yeah but the question is who is crazy enough to own this team with him? I'd be afraid.

Lets just wait till a couple weeks after the cup and see what happens. NONE OF US have a facking clue what's going to happen so hows about some of us stop pretending? I mean I'm going on a "feeling". That's it

Well that wouldn't be too hard in my case since all I know is what I read in the contradicting stories.

I do believe he is selling at least part of the team. I suspect he's not in any particular hurry. The rest is all guesses.

I just think nobody has a clue what's going on and there's a lot of speculation but there's definitely something there.

There is NOBODY on this here earth who would buy this team and leave Wang majority owner. If there is we should euthanize them immediately.

The guy that would do that may be a worse owner than Wang!
