Le Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum a ouvert ses portes en 1972 et son principal locataire a été les Islanders de New York. Les chevrons du Colisée sont remplis de bannières de championnat de la Coupe Stanley et des membres du Temple de la renommée qui les ont remportées. Le dernier match à domicile joué par les Islanders dans ces séries éliminatoires sera leur dernier au Coliseum. Nous nous sommes penchés sur l’influence de cette « vieille grange » sur les joueurs et les supporters. ———————————————- Abonnez-vous à Sportsnet sur YouTube – http://sprtsnt.ca/2paAT2L Visitez Sportsnet.ca pour plus d’actualités sportives et de faits saillants – http://www.sportsnet.ca Suivez Sportsnet sur Facebook – http://sprtsnt.ca/YTFB Suivez Sportsnet sur Twitter – http://sprtsnt.ca/YTTWTR Suivez Sportsnet sur Instagram – http://sprtsnt.ca/YTINST Suivez Sportsnet sur Snapchat – http://sprtsnt.ca/YTSNAP Regardez Sportsnet sur Sportsnet maintenant – http://sportsnet.ca /à présent

How was he able to say "best US hockey team ever" with a straight face? things look funny through homer glasses.
Really going to miss Nassau. Honestly I miss all the old school barns, especially The Spectrum.
the nhl wanted a canadian based team to finally win the cup in 84.Thats why they unfairly gave the oilers 3 STRAIGHT games in edmonton.It has neer been allowed since in the playoffs in mlb baseball nhl hockey or nba basketball because anybody with common sense knows its a unfair advantage.game 1 of the 84 finals was a 1-0 oiler win anybody will tell you it was a fluke goal and the game could have gone either way.game 2 was a 6-1 islander blowout.if game 5 was in nassau as it should have been islanders win the cup.I would take the islander roster with bossy trottier potvin smith tonelli lafontaine over the oilers gretzky kurri messier anderson fuhr coffey ANYDAY
In a age of corporate hockey and brand new massive arenas. This place just brings a different atmosphere and it’s an absolute zoo for islanders games especially this playoff run. Special and very loud building
I would add that the Coliseum is an amazing concert venue. Saw Metallica here in '97 and they melted my face off, saw Black Sabbath with Ozzy, and Pantera in '99 and they blew the roof off the place. To this day those are the best concerts I've ever been to.
USA USA USA Go Knights!
He was talking about the team that included Pitvan, Gillies, Bossy, Trottier, Nystrom, and Smith. Not the Islanders as an organization over time, when he was referring to "BEST TEAM." I have no problem with that.
As a Wings fan, Im loving this Islander run in the playoffs and really love watching them play at home! That old barn with the quirks and history is exactly how we felt about Joe Louis Arena in Detroit (now replaced by sterile feeling Little Ceasars arena.) Best of luck the rest of the way!
Reminds me when our old barn in Winnipeg was put down. The building refused to go down after tons of explosives. Brought tears to my eyes.
"A club like Calgary, a humpty dumpty team". What is this guy talking about? I am an Oiler fan and will be the first to say that the Flames in the 80s were not a "Humpty Dumpty" team. Anyone who travelled through Alberta in the 80s on a road trip was either going to get beat up by the Flames or burned by goals by the Oilers. Most teams were lucky to walk out with one win. Arguably the two best teams in the league for a few years. Calgary made it to two finals in the 80s which is also mentionable. This guy loses credibility when talking with such an uneducated bias.
Long Live the Nassau Coliseum
Many Real good Grateful Dead concerts!
Fabulous place!!
UBS and Climate Pledge are going to be nice barns so excited
Also a great arena for WWF PPVs
Windsor Arena, previous home of the Spitfires.
I hope their AHL affiliate moves into it. It’ll be a shame if they renovated just to lose their hockey team

I'm a Long Island native. I was in attendance at all 3 Islanders home Cup wins. The Islanders made the NVMC the historic building it is today and the Islanders will make UBS arena the NEW BARN with new history, new legacies and new legends. The NVMC will fall without the Islanders. It's sad, but the politicians and public citizens of Nassau County and Hempstead/Uniondale DID NOT WANT THE ISLANDERS to stay. So be it. UBS is the NEW BARN and Islanders fans will ROCK IT.
From the Islanders to David Bowie, Billy Joel, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Elvis Presley, Metallica. Nassau Coliseum is legendary.
The Long Island Tomahawks who were the 1974 National Lacrosse League champion Rochester Griffins played at the Nassau Coliseum in the summer of 1975. They finished first during the regular season but lost to the cinderella Quebec Caribous in the semi-finals.
As an Islanders fan since the 1970’s the Edmonton Oilers were an excellent dynasty. They were younger and hungrier in 1984 to beat the Islanders but what hurts their legacy is losing in 1986 to the Flames and not winning a championship in 1989. Three straight is a big deal and Oilers couldn’t do it. With that stated they were outstanding and even won in 1990 after Gretzky went to Los Angeles. I think the 1976-79 Canadiens were the best Dynasty ever followed by the Islanders and then The Edmonton Oilers after at number 3.
Brings tears to my eyes
OHHHHHH OHHHHH OHHHHH OHHH
As one writer put: “it’s a building you can’t just describe when watching during a game, it’s a building you must experience. It’s simply, legendary”
Actually my first time there was for a basketball game. Dr J was flying all over the place. Second time for a concert and then a hockey game,circus and Harlem globaltrotters. Awesome place.
I almost cried watching this LGI
I loved the coliseum as much as the next person. That being said? Its WAYYYY past time to welcome UBS.
As an Islander fan I remember those 4 Stanley Cup years as if it were yesterday. The islanders could play any game the opposing team wanted to play. If the opposing temp played dump and chase, finesse, bump and grind, speed, a slug-fest…you want it, you got it mister! The NY Islanders of that era were a true dynasty .
How far is UBS Arena from Nassau ?
I am from St. Louis. I can relate to the sediments expressed in the comments about the Coliseum. I call our old barn in StL (the Arena) the greatest sports venue in world has ever had (but I'm most biased). I get it. The old barns are very special. The Coliseum is the last of them.
The Coliseum never looked better. It now sits empty. A political disgrace.
