You should have a look at the drafts since Garth took over. Look at how many duds in the first he's chosen. To me, the most glaring thing is the goalies.......a former phucking goalie and he's had about 4-5 goalies that are nowhere.

I think you would be amazed at what a real coach did with this team.

Peter laviolette comes to mind as a guy that could get a ton out of this team

Well i think its fair to say, no matter what, Capuano lost the team. Im not sure he ever had them.......but if im a guy like Ladd, a former captain, and cup winner, playing under the likes of Joel Quinnevelle......im laughing at this guy.

MAybe that is the problem. Sometimes it takes just one guy in teh dressing room to say something that throws the whole team off

Its not the lockeroom.....its a young team, and they are losing. What they need is a legit shake up. A coaching change and a trade.

Cappy and Snow are killing this team. They are close to reaching Milbury status. Neither one has a f-ing clue

Close? They're there......they've used up all their lives. There is nowhere else to turn.

I'm sorry but when I'm picking between prince Quine Bailey kulemin Strome and Nelson I can't blame the coach for that.. that is on snow
- Dan Petriw

Ok but still to make it to this level they must have some skill. Skill that JAck has no idea about. Even if they had the most skilled players in the world JAck would mess it up. He just done not have the smarts. The past couple of seasons were great but it was more of the the players managing themselves.

A blockbuster I tell ya. Like when LAfontaine was traded. This team needs a whole new
start and i hate to say that

Garth doesn't have the ba!!s. He'll do an Alan Quine and a third rounder for a Lee Stempniak. yawn

Almost rather be in Torontos position look it's only 4 games a lot of time left it starts with a win tonight

Isles lose 3-2 in OT....Max Domi scores the winner. Capuano in the post game thinks they played well but just didnt get the bounces.

Well technically we didnt bet. But, if we did, it would be a push at this point cause he's not playing.

Tonight is a must win for this team. Its early and anything can happen but the Islanders get o far behind JAck does not have the smarts to get them out of this. It is up to the leaders on this team to do things themselves have a team meeting

Hows that bet looking??

The barzal thing really pisses me off I mean Alan quine? We know quine isn't the future and barzel is so let's just sit barzal for 3 games and send him back to Jr's. Jerkoffs

If the team didnt have most players on 1way contracts, he'd stick. Thats Snow's MO

Wooooo woooo woooo......find me where we put a dollar amount on this "bet". I offered, and we discussed, but i've never renigned on a bet in my life. So show me where we said "its a bet".

Until Jack is gone get used to it

Chief cant handle the truth that is the problem. He is always supporting most of the things the Islanders do or twisting them in the favor of the Islanders.

I do not hung up on whether the posts are positive or negative. I can either reply or not reply. I do understand the negative posts though as things have been mostly negative with Cappy and Garth and Wang. Hopefully with Ledecky taking over the Isles can get more things right than wrong.
