The New York Islanders' move from the Nassau Coliseum to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn hasn't really been a smooth one.
The arena simply isn't built for hockey and has thousands of obstructed view seats, attendance is near the bottom of the league, and they've done a number of things that have simply annoyed long-time Islanders fans.
From that awful goal horn that received such a negative reaction from fans that they almost immediately changed it back to the old Coliseum horn, to the third jersey that is modeled after the Brooklyn Nets' branding. And none of that even gets into the policy the arena had for fans watching warmups along the glass, a staple at most hockey arenas.
Needless to say, there have been some adjustments for both the team and fans.
With that in mind, The Fourth Period put together a pretty funny video titled "The Russian Hipster" that focussed on Islanders teammates Mikhail Grabovski and Nikolay Kulemin trying to adjust to Brooklyn's "hipster" lifestyle.
It touches on pretty much everything you might expect, from wearing skinny jeans, to locally grown food (that you Instagram!), to being a coffee snob.
