Strangis is especially remembered for his broadcasts of Bloomington Kennedy and Bloomington Jefferson high school hockey that appeared on Bloomington Educational Cable . Strangis ' earliest national exposure was as play - by - play man and ring announcer for the American Wrestling Association on ESPN , where he worked alongside Lee Marshall , and later Eric Bischoff , in the waning days of that promotion . Although he had quite a bit of broadcast experience , his tryout as color commentator on the Minnesota North Stars radio network was a longshot — with other better - known sportscasters getting more air time during the auditioning process . As the story goes , five prospects split up a game as guest commentators alongside Al Shaver , then voice of the Minnesota North Stars . The two better - known talents each took a period and then the three longshots split up the third — with Strangis going last . When Al Shaver was asked who he liked the best , he chose Strangis . Ralph shone in his audition , with the perfect ability to complement Shaver ' s play - by - play with insights from the players and his own intimate knowledge of the game . When the Stars moved to Dallas in 1993 , Shaver decided to not to migrate south with the franchise and retired .

In 2008 the Stars added in - arena radio ( on 97 . 5FM ) allowing fans yet another opportunity to hear the popular team . In a poll conducted by the Dallas Morning News , his most famous line was voted the most memorable moment in Dallas history . " Hull scores ! Yes ! Yes ! Yes ! The Stars win the Stanley Cup , the Stars win the Stanley cup ! "

Stu Grimson Stu Grimson ( born May 20 , 1965 , in Vancouver , British Columbia ) is a former Canadian forward . Grimson played in the National Hockey League from 1989 to 2002 . During this time , he played for the Calgary Flames , Chicago Blackhawks , Mighty Ducks of Anaheim , Detroit Red Wings , Hartford Whalers / Carolina Hurricanes , Los Angeles Kings , and Nashville Predators . Stu was known as an enforcer throughout his career . He compiled over 2 , 000 penalty minutes . His fearsome reputation as a fighter earned him the nickname " The Grim Reaper " . Playing career . During his lengthy career , Stu improved as a fighter . In his younger days , he lacked balance , and was vulnerable to shorter , more powerfully built fighters . During his first stint with Anaheim , he began to show signs of improving balance , and though his style still left him vulnerable , he scored wins over some of the league ' s tougher fighters . It wasn ' t until the 1996 – 97 season , when Stu moved to Hartford , that he became one of the NHL ' s elite fighters . Almost overnight , his balance improved dramatically and he added some muscle to his previously lanky frame . In that season , he scored decisive wins over established fighters such as Randy McKay , Darren Langdon and Enrico Ciccone , and he battered Ryan Vandenbussche and Shane Churla of the New York Rangers in one - sided victories . The following season saw Stu move with the Whalers to Carolina , and as a Hurricane he continued to be a force in the league . He started a rivalry with Krzysztof Oliwa of the New Jersey Devils that season , which saw the two men fight several times over the next few seasons , usually to a draw . Stu spent the next two seasons back in Anaheim , and played his final full season with the Los Angeles Kings in 2000 – 2001 . He remained a respected and elite heavyweight fighter , but in his final season , in Nashville , he suffered from post - concussion syndrome and was forced to retire after a fight with Georges Laraque of the Edmonton Oilers . He had already been suffering effects before that bout , and even admitted he once blacked out in the middle of a fight . Stu enjoyed a career - long rivalry with legendary enforcer Bob Probert , considered by many observers to be one of the top fighters in NHL history . Though the consensus is that Probert got the better of the rivalry , Stu usually held his own and scored a couple of wins of his own against Probert . In his final seasons , Stu built rivalries with a new generation of fighters , such as Georges Laraque , Krzysztof Oliwa and Scott Parker .

It is part of a proposed $ 4 . 9 billion sports arena , business and residential complex . The arena was intended to serve as a new home for the National Basketball Association ' s New Jersey Nets , currently based at Prudential Center in Newark , New Jersey .

Starting in 2015 , Barclays is also home of the New York Islanders , who moved there once their lease at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum expired . Brooklyn is geographically the western end of Long Island , and many on other parts of the island have roots there . Also , the Nets and Islanders had previously shared Nassau Coliseum from 1972 to 1977 . Financing documents for the arena released in December 2009 indicate that “ The New York Islanders could potentially become a tenant ” at the Barclays Center . The Islanders ' agreement with the New York Rangers allows them to relocate anywhere on Long Island , including Brooklyn and Queens .

It can nevertheless accommodate an NHL - size rink , though the arena will only be able to seat 14 , 500 fans in its hockey configuration , which would give it the lowest seating capacity in the NHL .
