Whose label is this on?
On Wednesday night, the Islanders may play their last game at the historic and fan favorite Long Island Junkyard Nassau Stadium. Islands fans praised the 3-2 overtime victory over the Chargers. This is what the Long Islanders really know The only way: beer cans.
Soon after Anthony Beauvillier entered the overtime winner into the series with 3 games per game, Islands fans bathed the sheets with hats, rally towels and (possibly empty) beer cans. Thankfully, no Isles player was hit by the celebration can.

“The building that entered the overtime game smells like cigarettes, now it smells like beer,” the island winger Beauvillier said after winning the overtime game. “That place is going crazy. Everyone is happy that we are back in Tampa.”
Trotz: “I like this group, the character of this group. And this building, these fans. Leaving the ice, everyone hugs each other, there are beer cans everywhere on the ice. These are good memories. But we I have to buy another one.”
