And Cappy has done well at none. I'm not asking that either be extended or last here for any significant period. However, knowing that both should be gone within two years, if you asked me who I want out NOW..Cappy ain't so happy.

Meh. I don't think the Isles will succeed until they're both gone.

Explain why they would be worst?

Capuano is still the coach and Snow is still the GM.

hey sorry guys, i havent been on this board in while.

What was the dialogue here while Bailey went on his end of year tear.
was the consensus view - no pressure and he shined or Capuano finally used him in a non-grinder role and he thrived?


Also cant believe here we are awaiting the draft again tonight.

We are so overdue for some good fortune. Come on Lotto, give us the first pick. Enough is enough

In other news - AMAC 30MM for 6 Years. Haha. good luck with that. 5MM a year for third pairing dman.

Back when Snow did virtually nothing other than make draft selections and never really spoke to the media, yeah, there was a sense of mystery and some feeling that maybe he had a master plan he wasn’t sharing. His silence could be interpreted as him being sly and keeping his cards close to the vest. Sort of, “Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue.” But after this season, when he actually tried to play on the big stage, I think the facade came crumbling down. This guy’s out of his league, at least as much as Cappy is.

I'm not surprised at all. Doesn't make it sting any less. Just had a deja vu moment. Love being an Islanders fan.

Exactly nobody is surprised with anything these idiots do

What makes you think they are going to be better?

Same team for years same results for years why is it this year we all of a sudden become a NHL team

I don't have time today to explain things to you... you're not even a fan of this team, so I'm not going to waste my time.

It all certainly blew up in his face. No doubt. As I've said, he should be fired, but I won't scream bloody murder if he gets this coming season to save his neck. There have been more valleys than peaks under Snow and to what extent of that is his own doing, I'm not sure. However, there's always been more folks loading their blogging guns to fire at Garth than defend him, so when something like this season occurs, it's not surprising that final conclusions have been redrawn and the angry villagers are in full lockstep.
I do wonder what the climate will be like if he gets his goalie and the team suddenly performs more like 2012-13. Do the voices again die out?
This rebuild has never shown the progression it should have but another big step forward could heal a lot of wounds from this past season. It should be his final chance to show which one was truly the anomally....2012-13 or 2013-14.

that hurts vukota. you're one of few guys on this post i like to read.

dont hate me b/c more often than not im right. You can say what you want about Bailey, They skill is talent is there.

The primary reason i hate Cappy is - He only does the right thing when he forced to do so. Thats why team played well end of year. Guys actually got rewarded for playing better.

isles were 22-11-1 when Strome played. Why were both these guys Buried on 3rd and 4th line for most of year.

So garbage time is meaningless (and rightfully so) unless it comes to validating the Invisible Bailey's stats?

- jimmc7722

Do you have time to explain things to me? I'm interested in knowing how you think this team will be better next year after finding out the main reason we sucked is coming back to fack up next season too? Capuano is a serious negative. Some of you guys have short term memory issues.

Tavares, Okposo, Strome,Lee,Nelson, Dehaan etc etc will all get better every year they play just because of their talent alone. Not saying they are goinig to be a top tier team next year but they should be better especially if they get a goalie

Can't disagree. There's a very good chance this team could make other improvements and still suffer the same fate because Flintstone remains.

That said, if we are to agree that the three major issues here, in no particular order, are goaltending, need for a dman and Cappy, it wouldn't be outrageous to assume the team could do much better with two of those three issues fixed.

Obviously past history on Snow's lack of urgency don't give a lot of reason for hope, but I do think a goalie will be obtained this year. That alone may be enough to get us far closer to the bubble.

One thing I will agree on, as long as Cappy is the coach this team will never be a serious threat to the second round let alone the cup.

Defend what? Him drafting prospects to have them tutored by some moron? Trading away assets for nothing? Him being incapable of landing ANY FA save for someone who is done and can't get a contract anywhere else? Sometimes you mak it sound like it's not warranted. The guy has NOT done a good job. You can have all of the best prospects in the world but when you have Capuano as coach it's all for naught. Pissing in the wind. Most aggravating thing is to watch a team that's so close and continually watch the GM make glaringly obvious not even debatable bad decision after bad decision to impede the teams growth into a competitor. It's sickening. As far as which one is an anomally how long has Snow been GM and how many times have we made the playoffs? The answer is right there. There's no debating this and anyone who thinks there is a debate here is nuttier than a squirrel turd. I swear to christ being on this thread is like watching the last election all over again sometimes.

its all stems from WANG. he is cheap and running business that way.

Cappy has a job simply b/c he is the lowes paid coach in NHL. its as simple as that.

- Vukota

Meh. Not on board with this bcs of Capuano #1 and our defense. To me Snow endorsing Capuano is telling us what kind of offseason we'll have. There is not a FA out there that's going to sign up for this clown show. I know i wouldn't and without any outside editions and that moron behind the bench I can't say truthfully they will be better. They may be worse.
