No, I get it and I agree. Lane must go for any number of reasons, but giving the players who were on the ice a pass, I don't care who the coach is, is just wrong.

Has anyone got in front of Ledecky about this or is he no longer hanging with fans?

I hate to say it but the farther this team has gone from the Snow the incredibly worse this team has gotten. I mean yes it was a team effort between the 2 GMS but I don't see how we can complain anymore about Snow's coaching decisions. Lambert's 2 seasons here have been a disaster. I would take Capuano over this any day. I did miss the game how did it go btw.

A trend that may not continue if the current on ice trend also continues.

But that's the whole thing...
If Trotz was still coach (or we had any good one), no one on the ice would be getting a pass.
But this team and coaching staff were all assembled by Lou and are his responsibility...And he's failing the organization and fans.

Gotta agree. This is Lou's team now.
Too bad this team decided to tank a year after the Bedard sweepstakes.

Jeez...
You couldn't have just called Lou back then and let him know this before he gave him the extension?

This is where we part company. Would we be better with BT behind the bench? Almost certainly, I don't dispute that, but Isles fans have deified BT to the point of ridiculousness. The coach who could do no wrong. I'm not going to reopen the debate about what happened in the past and the circumstances that contributed to it all, but in my opinion this is still about the Isles roster more than it is about coaching.
Ultimately though, we end up at the same place. This is all on Lou.

Capuano? Ok this thread has officially jumped the shark. Tomorrow should be interesting. Good night

Capuano over Lambert? Absolutely 1000%. Lou's new voice is a complete joke. I don't know how anyone can defend Lou's decision to hire the guy at this point. Someone explain it to me. Capuano is second only to Al Arbour in number of wins in franchise history. In 2014-15 after just a few years of team development, Capuano guided the Islanders to a 47-28-7 record with 101 points and the following year a 45-27-10 record. It was the franchise's best season since 1983-84, when it lost to the Edmonton Oilers in the Stanley Cup Final and Capuano didn't incorporate this limp dick approach to the game ala Trotz. Snow made one the best decisions in franchise history making this guy the coach. Lambert completely sucks. I'd hire Capuano back any day of the week.

So far when the Isles were technically in playoff position.
Wonder what the owners will think in March and April when there's sub-10k in UBS, and during the summer when the sales reps have a difficult time getting STHs to renew.

I raised concerns about his play in that Carolina series, its continued over this season.
It could be temporary, but he ain’t no Vezina guy right now. More like Blaine Lacher.
He thinks this is the way to build a team since it worked with the early 2000s Devils despite it being two decades later.
The game has passed him by.
