Good questions hockeyman. They want the Isles back so bad they made it too small for hockey.

I keep reading it "flexes up for hockey adding another 2-3000 seats". Whatever that actually means. All that means diddly squat if the Isles' owners aren't being taken care of financially.

I think it make total sense for isles to go back. But the new owners will not.

They got Rolled by Wang thinking they were buying a team in city. They don't want to go back to burbs. Its embarrassing enough they paid 100M+ more than what value of islanders is on Forbes.

The decrepit start to the season is to be shared by all, Snow, Cappy and the f**king players. The team played like total s**t for three months. That's an incredibly difficult hole to climb out of, especially in the era of the "loser point". If the Isles had just been at a legit .500 level over the first three months, which is not asking a lot, they'd be comfortably in a playoff spot right now. Instead, they didn't realize the season started in October and not December and they're paying the price now.

I can't roll JT under any bus. The guy has been clutch so many times in his career. It would be nice if the team played f**king defense and could figure out a way to score a PP goal once in a while.

Its so disappointing. This team should be in the playoffs. It has the talent to be. But they just shoot themselves in the foot with the slow starts, late collapses and lack of urgency in their play.

I gotta believe change is coming. If Snow goes, I hope the next GM is a seasoned, experienced guy with some success on his record and that he considers hiring Michel Therrien as the next coach. The guy has won everywhere he's gone and has done well with young players.

If that was the case Capuano would still be here and it's highly doubtful that the winning they did in January and February would have ever happened. They'd be in the same place they are right now.
