We have the " Parting of the Blue Sea"on D which s preceded by the 5-0-0 trap. One of you brought this up weeks ago . How can a team that has no forecheck give up so many odd man rushes.
The good thing about having Ho-Sang with the Isles is that he was very good at provoking penalties for the opponent. I know that our PP is not always effective but it's always better to be on the PP more often than the other team... A strategy in fact simplistic, but that Weight I think would be able to implement it...
Lee-Tavares-Bailey
Beauvillier-Barzal-Eberle
Ladd-Nelson-Ho-Sang
Johnston-Cizikas-Clutterbuck

season crushing loss, blaa blaa
at least I saw the Islanders win in Chicago and Brock Nelson get into a fight which were 2 of the 3 things I was hoping for this year (Winning the Stanley Cup was the 3rd)
if Barzal is going to win the Calder that is also going to be good, watching him is the only reason to tune into this team, I can't imagine how much this team would stink if he was not on it, for all the hate Snow gets and the Snow Must Go chants, him getting Barzal has to give him a pass at least this year

What are the fans supposed to be excited about?
A team that has let up 214 goals against? Theres not even a team out there that has let up 200 goals, they are a total joke. A team with a -20 goal differential and the worst defense in the league is not a playoff team.
Greiss has sucked and Jaro did for the beginning of the season, but they haven't sucked nearly as much as Weight, Snow and some of the marginal talent taking up cap space and contributing jack on a nightly basis. Barzal is the only reason I watch this team, if Johnston beats someone up that's a bonus but 13 is the only thing worth watching on this squad.
Weight can F__k himself with that attitude. He has worn his welcome out in what seems like overnight. Despite giving us his word numerous times about how we'll get a better product, they have been NO SHOWS. This team is circling the drain and they couldn't go down it fast enough as far as i'm concerned.
The only positive is they are closer to Dahlin every night they play, that's how bad they are.
Without Barzal this team is sitting next to the Coyotes and Sabres.

It's either the crowd or the chicken salad .... OR the chicken salad the crowd ate. But it's definitely not on the coaching staff or players, even the hockey gods know that.
what? am I hearing things? Is Weight actually blaming the fans? or basically the lack of fans for their effort? while I am the first one to blast the lack of attendance, these are things that should be irrelevant as far as highly paid Professional Athletes to get up for.
please tell me I am wrong in Weight's assessment and he means something else with that comment, he did not actually blame the fans did he?

This is the tram
Where did you see that? I just looked and didn't see it trending anywhere… Not even in New York.
#SnowMustGo was trending #2 on Twitter. Your move, Jon.

Would really be nice if the local hockey media could take their attention away from their beloved rags with their 10,000 columns on that team to take a blowtorch to this total abortion of an organization.

The New York Post already came out with an article about the game/chants. So that's something.

My dream would be any/every season ticket holder did not renew next year and gave the reason… It's because snow is still employed.
I just saw the full conference from Weight, I would still love to know what he meant by that comment, I am sure he is going to have damage control and say he was not blaming the fans, but I am really curious what he actually meant, he could have implied the team should be playing better from the start and that would generate excitement, but I am guessing he meant the lack of fans is making it hard for the team to get up for the game, regardless I am sure he is not going to actually blame the fans when grilled about this question
