The Islanders removed the rinkside SUV and Isles fans can't stop talking about it



The New York Islanders made the move to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn in 2015 and it’s a move that hasn’t worked out well for them at all.

From the terrible ice to the horrible views, fans around the league couldn’t help but crack jokes about the Islanders’ new home, especially after they all noticed the SUV that was up against the glass every single night.

Well, nothing lasts forever and that includes the Islanders’ rinkside SUV.

It didn’t matter if the Islanders were playing poorly or were riding a nine-game winning streak – which they were heading into Tuesday night’s game – the SUV was always stealing the spotlight.
