I cannot blame JT as this point. No way I sign if Garth is still in charge.

I encourage him to leave. Nobody should voluntarily deal with this bullshit.

As much as I would like JT to be more of a leader and push for change behind the scenes, JT has been more than fair and especially with the last contract he signed. He really does not owe the Isles anything else.

Chief's theory is the one that makes the most sense. If they don't care about the on ice product then there is no reason to buy out Snow.

This certainly seems to be the case right now.

He's gone, in my eyes. The "shock" will be if he re-signs. I don't see a chance in hell that he chooses to stick around this toilet unless he's signing a contract with a gun to the back of his head.

He should leave. He deserves to leave. The organization deserves to lose him.

Cannot disagree with this. Maybe a hire like Lou causes JT to think about re-signing but still not 100% at this point. I just do not get why L&M would not hire a quality Hockey person even if they only have interest in the land? Ledecky can just go back to talking about Belmont and Malkin can do whatever he does without having to say a word about the product.

This disgusting gutter organization has made me loathe hockey in general. I've barely watched the playoffs. I hate the Islanders.

Thank god for the Yankees.

Outside of the mess that is the Isles, lots of things that hockey does bother me like the 3on3 OT and SO and the lousy playoff format and this Vegas draft. Yankees have done such a great job with the drafting and trading for young talent. Yankees are setup to be very good for years. This is how you build a team with mostly young talent and some key vets.

Just got a phone call from my former ticket rep looking to sell us. We say, "When Snow goes, give us a call." He then states, "If he gets moved to a different position with absolutely no power over the team, would you consider re-upping?"

I know it's their job to sell tix, but if there were no validity to any of this, why bring it up?

I hope you told him no

I hope he told them he wouldn't buy tickets until Snow was not only fired, but chained to the outside of the Coliseum on opening night so the fans can throw rotten tomatoes at him.

Lol, rotten tomatoes.

I'd bring a refrigerator box filled with fire ants.

We told him, "we bought partials to the Vegas Golden Knights. MUCH better gameday experience as well as the owners REALLY seem to care about the on ice product as well as the concerns of the fanbase."

Part of me wants to "inquire" about a package just to get one of these jackwagons on the phone so I can hear their bullshit for myself.

I said it months ago that JT would walk for nothing and Snow would remain as GM. This organization is an absolute joke. No fan deserves to be treated and disrespected like we have been. Fuck this team. Fuck both L&M. Fuck Snow!!!! It's an absolute shit show and we, the fans, are just expected to show up like mindless drones and donate our hard-earned money to watch this shitty on-ice product and have a GM that cares more about his ego than the team.

The owners don't care what happens, at all. They have one interest and one interest only. Scott Malkin's lineage should tell you all you need to know about the one thing they care about:

I agree with you, im just shocked (as most probably are) that they're unwilling to address the elephant in the room. If nothing else, a fresh set of eyes will appease the majority of the fan base.

You know he is.

I guess they can block you, because I couldn't access the chat feature through my computer. Had to use my phone.

If they moved Snow to a position of no power at all I would be fine with that. Let him clean the facking toilets for all I care

L and M absolutely care about the on ice product.
Their New Arena in Belmont is great but they want it full especially when their Hockey team is playing there 41 nights out of the year. It means a lot more money for them.
Also when your team is in the POs there’s a ton of extra money to be made especially when you own the Arena.

Nope, fuck him. No more compromising.

L&M don't give a shit about the fans. It's a money grab. Everyone was thinking that Ledecky didn't answer questions because he was pissed at Snow. He didn't want to answer questions because he didn't want to have any feedback from reporters that might have asked about or reflect the feelings of the fans. He doesn't want to deal with that. He's got his head in the sand and he's all set. Snow is his GM, and that's that.

Nope, fuck him. No more compromising.

Like I said I don't care if he still has a job there as long as it has nothing to do with the Hockey ops. You really care if he is running the Jr. Islanders travel teams?

Yes, because I don't believe for a second that he won't still have something to do with the hockey operations as long as he collects a paycheck that has the Islanders' name on it. I don't trust this team and I don't believe anything they say.

Terminate him entirely or die in a fire.

I would agree with this if they hire a nobody but if they hire somebody with cred like Lou I don't see how that would still happen. Nobody with experience would work with Snow
