Most of us are off Saturday so being out an extra 30 mins isn't as big of a deal. Also, for me personally, Fridays hit different. During the summer it's my day to take the afternoon off and hit the golf course. In the winter, it's nice to go out for supper after work. It's nice to have a tradition to start the weekend and create a disconnect from work. The extra 30 mins would allow me to walk in during warm-ups instead of rushing to make puck drop. Still nothing sufficient to support the inconvenience and I'm not buying the extra time to get to the game. A lot of the fan base is either kids or older folks who would normally be in bed by the time they get home. Plus, if the Islanders were smart, they would try to get people to come to rink early and eat supper there. The inconvenience is only your 1 opinion. For the people they're trying to attract on a Friday night as walk ups...a 7:30 start is more convenient. The worker having a couple drinks and a meal after the work weed. The students out with friends on a weekend. And for most season ticket holders, on a Friday night especially, being out an extra half hour is absolutely no difference to the overall experience. Some may actually enjoy feeling like they're out a little later on a night when most don't have to wake up for work the next morning. |

I don't like it. Haven't talked to anyone who gets anything out of it. Apparently there are a some on here who do.
I'm sure there are some who would rather 8:00 start times as well.... and others who want 6:00 because they want to be in bed by 10:00. Can't please everyone.
I would prefer consistency with evening and afternoon start times. If it's 7:30, make it 7:30 across the board.
7:00 PM local just seems like a standard sweet spot.

Nope, I'm afraid not and the more people I talk to the more I get "I just as soon go back to the 7pm start". |

The Islanders wouldn’t benefit any from people eating at the rink…and the options are pretty limited No options if you're trying to eat healthier too, unless you count a bottle of water lol |
