By now, everyone knows the New York Islanders have moved from Long Island to Brooklyn to play at the Barclays Center. In addition to the change of venue, the team has added new alternate uniforms which use the same color scheme as the Nets and they also decided to change their goal horn as well.
Nothing was wrong with their old goal horn, which can be heard here, but the team and the Barclays Center decided they wanted a goal horn to better signify the move. Enter this travesty:

That is not a great horn and one that definitely has not been getting rave reviews on social media. Time will tell if the team and the arena will keep the car honk as their goal horn or if they will go back to their more traditional sounding horn.
