Volume of NO votes is staggering on #Isles (http://twitter.com/#%21/search?q=%23Isles) arena referendum. Fans turned out, opponents bought into "billionaire bailout" line.


rumor has it that if it was defeated (and its confirmed it was)... they were on the moving block

So where are the Islanders heading to? It's so great to have a billionaire owner.

well lease expires in 2015 but as we seen, leases are always negotiable with a new owner.

if they were to move, i'd agree that it wouldn't be to quebec or anything, kc might work in terms of the arena, but that would be another team to the west

I think the bottom line is that the Isles and the Coyotes are just the first two. How long can Florida keep a team? Places that lost teams are going to be prime - Hartford, Quebec, KC to get teams....good.

didn't quebec fans go to long island and fill a game and show support that they want the islanderse if the islanders move?

i guess the quebec fans just love having a losing team.
