yup dont piss the players off its not their fault (really it is as they go out there ) that the gm doesnt make moves or give them more to work with. I respect lee for saying what he did if I were a pro athlete twitter would be a no go

How would getting a billboard letting JT know how much he means to the fans piss him off? I don't like the idea but I don't think the sign was going to say Fack off JT and Bring Snow & Weight with you

10:55 AM, Feb 15: Hello! So we shot through our second goal again by 10 A.M. this morning, and I've finalized our second billboard location. We had hoped for one close to Northwell, or a prominent LI spot, but there are less viable options in that area. Since options on Long Island are extremely limited, we've picked a sign on Atlantic Avenue, less than a mile from the Barclays Center.

We had also heard suggestions of a billboard regarding John Tavares, but decided to stay to the original goal that we began this campaign with. It is important to us that as fans, we continue to support the players on the ice and as such, opt not to use any players’ namesakes on any signage as it relates to any potential legal liability.

Secondly, we recently received word via Twitter that Anders Lee will be declining any donation toward his Kancer Jam. While we are disappointed, we respect his decision, and love Anders as a New York Islander.

Without a choice in the matter, we have therefore decided to donate any excess donations to the American Cancer Society. While we understand this was not the initial advertised charity, we hope Islanders fans will understand.

We have been receiving word from people asking for us to donate to a different cause, or for a different purpose.
At this point, we should explain that people donated for a particular purpose and we do not feel right changing that purpose after receiving their donations. If anyone still wishes to donate, please consider donating to Lee's Kancer Jam or another charitable cause.

Thank you for the support, as mentioned previously any donations that exceeded our goal will go toward charity, that now being the American Cancer Society. Anyone who would like a refund that donated after 9:25 AM can contact
- Vukota[email][email protected][/email] and we will work with you and gofundme to get a refund. Please note, we make no representations as to our ability to get a refund or the success of any such attempt.

Thank you for the support!

Mick, make the suggestion to get T shirts printed saying Snow Must Go with the excess funds and have them handed out in front of BC on game days.

This is really monumental and pathetic that the fans have to buy billboard space to make a point which couldn’t be more obvious.

Well done isles fans

I don't think that's possible. We already paid for that spot

I mean, I don't know if the organizers already forked over the money to the billboard owner. Do you? I have no idea if it takes a few days to get your money from a GoFundMe campaign or not, wiring the money may take a day or two to actually clear both bank accounts. I see no reason why the Islanders couldn't call up and pay them right away, in order to block it.

They can't change the purpose of the GoFundMe. Besides there are already Snow Must Go shirts.

I also saw Snow Must Go terrible towels somewhere.

I guess but they would look so bad doing that IMO and that would probably be the final straw for this raging fan base

Tie some string through a roll of toilet paper and swing that around. "Snow Must Go Terrible TP" has a nice ring to it.

Yup, might actually be more beneficial

Yeah showing love for your player and letting him know how much they want him to stay is so dumb. Go have a drink or something


- Vukota

I mean if you ran into him at the florist you could say hey we really appreciate you and hope you stay but what are the odds of that

I guess Ledecky loves me more than JT loves you and I got Cappy fired? Two months after Ledecky talked to me Cappy is gone. That's no accident.

I came out of the parking lot and ended up behind him on the road and the only thing I could think of was that he probably thought I was stalking him

Everyone's comments about what I should have done are starting to make me seriously question whether or not some of you (frank)ing people are actually sane or not

After years of Milbury and Garth, good luck finding a sane Isles fan.

You get an F for not going with the Billy Madison "you blew it" gif
