According to Wikipedia, the Washington Capitals Closed Nassau Coliseum

Barry Trotz didn’t want to admit it earlier in the series, but there was a bonus to defeating the New York Islanders in the playoffs. If the Capitals could manage to win the series, it would end the Isles’ tenure in their barn in Uniondale, NY.

The Capitals did exactly that on Monday night, thanks to an Evgeny Kuznetsov goal with 7:18 remaining. So a few Caps fans decided to update the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum’s Wikipedia page.

They gave the Caps credit for closing Fort Neverlose.

Here’s a photoshop I made to properly celebrate the occasion.

The Islanders’ final game at Nassau wound up being their 3-1 game six victory Saturday. Next year they’ll move to Brooklyn and play at the Barclays Center.

Hugs, Chloe.
