No one can honestly can say the islanders have any better shot at making the playoffs next year than they did this past season or in comparison to the other teams in the conference. Nobody knows how each team will be made up. But based on the last few years, I don't know how anyone could possibly think that the Islanders have a good chance of making the playoffs. They are light years away from being a contenders away from away

Exactly, the only thing you can use as a reference is the last few seasons and in doing that how can anyone expect to be in the playoffs next year? Every year there are some on here that say this is Snow's year, he's got to do this and that and guess what? It's the same olde shat evey year. If he surprises us than great, just don't see it happening when he pretty much stated it would be more of the same. Keeping Capuano on as coach I think tells us which way this season is heading.
