Hartford can't even get a minor league baseball stadium finished. What major league franchise is going to sign up for that level of ineptitude?

Well we've all seen teams say the arena/stadium/whatever wasn't good enough for them but I can't remember an arena being too good for the team.

Was there ever a question who would start it?

I'd love to see the Islanders move to Hartford and keep the name, like Utah Jazz & Los Angeles Lakers.

Incredible waste of time
CT doesn't even go to UConn games in Hartford and they've won in last 20 years

Strap-up and pass the ammunition, it's time for outdoor hockey in Hartford!

It's a waste of time to write a 1-page letter?
Your definition of incredible is quite incredible.

The XL Center gets like 5-7K for UConn games, how will they draw for a bad hockey team with tickets 3-4X $$ higher

i mean, let's be honest. The letter is cute. Hey guys! Look at me!
If he/we were serious, there needs to be something a lot more realistic and less "Mickey Mouse" here. Basically, he said we have an empty building....and lots of people who can drive an hour or less to get here. Well, Goshen is a hour away. How many people from Goshen are driving in on a cold Tuesday for a Nashville Predators game?

He said interim and that there would be work done cooperatively to update to NHL standards. Sheesh. At the prices games sell right now for Islanders games, yes, people would travel from Goshen to see a Whalers vs Predators game.
The fact Malloy's secretary spelled Jon's name wrong doesn't look good.
