Lame Lambert
Fire Lou
The only person more demented and delusional than Lou is Scott Malkin. f*** this team.
Ya but one of them could help address a huge need. We can’t score. Sprong can score. One year deal. Cheap. I have no idea why we wouldn’t take a chance on him. There is really very little risk. Playjng Matt Martin is useless. Engvall waived twice. Like what are we doing here Lou…He's so bad. They both kind of are.
Lou made every attempt to meet the deadline.Sprong cleared waivers btw

Likely both of you care more about this teams wins and losses than Malkin. Malkin IMO bought the Isles for his real estate play and as an investment. The Isles valuation has increased under Lou. The real estate project is near completion. I doubt the Isles have incurred annual operating losses since the team has made the playoffs more years than not. I seriously doubt Malkin makes any changes at this point.I tried to like that post more than once but the new and improved HFBoards wouldn’t let me do it.
If Lou resigns our 2 pending UFAs and/or if he’s still the GM after this season concludes then I’m taking a long break from the Isles.
Don’t cry for me Argentina.
We’re also in contention for last place in the conference Lou

Novel indeed. The problem is Lou.At least Snow acknowledged a rebuild was neccessary and guess what...Rebuilding led to most of the players that Trotz took to the semifinals.
How novel.

Two things:
1) Lou is no longer the problem, the owners are.
2) If you are spending your hard earned money at UBS or on gear or in any other way that supports the Islanders organization while this state of affairs exists, you too are part of the problem.

You can still enjoy watching your favorite team, and heaven forbid, even buy Isles gear even when the team is not necessarily moving in the direction you want. You know being a fan is supposed to be fun right? Now, I personally have not bought any Isles gear this season, but I won’t begrudge anyone who buys their kid a jersey with their favorite player on it. Being a long time hard core fan and getting new fans into the Isles is not at all being part of the problem.Two things:

All this from the guy who vehemently pointed out that the Isles will go nowhere unless they fired the last GM. Now he gets to bask in all his handiwork. Peripheral, are you not entertained?100%. You can do whatever you want...And that poster can do whatever he wants.
But make no mistake...If you support any team by wearing their jersey or going to their games, you are tacitly endorsing the job that management and ownership are doing. Not buying any merchandise or tickets as a form of protest might not make any difference in terms of change, but I respect anyone who is willing to take a stand for what they believe in in hopes that it might.
Again 100%. Being a fan of a team is SUPPOSED to be fun. Are you having fun this year? What about Sabres fans the last decade? What about Jets/Giants fans now?
It's one thing if your team is young and going through growing pains, but headed in the right direction. However we have a dying roster with literally no hope of being a contender unless significant changes are made. And the reason so many of us are frustrated/fed up is because we're being led by a president/GM who has shown literally zero tendencies towards making the moves that would actually help this team get back into Cup contention.
If you're having fun since Trotz was fired god bless - Certainly your right, but many of us want more from our favorite team - And that means better from management and ownership.
Well when you bring kids into the equation that's a whole other story. I have a kid who's turning 7 this weekend and I love nothing more in the world than him. Your child is infinitely more important than any sports team or how they perform. I hope most all of us have perspective on that.
So making your kid happy while he/she just enjoys almost any big any event (a movie, bowling, sporting event, circus, etc) and having the shared experience of being with their dad/mom...Is on a completely different level than an 20+ year old adult wanting their favorite sports team to change a GM so they can ultimately have hope of winning a championship.
So taking kids out of the sports equation...If you're an adult buying any merchandise and/or spending money on tickets just for yourself then once again...You are saying to management/ownership that you support the direction of this team. Again it might only be the tiniest if gestures, but I personally vote with my wallet, and thus in the last decade of his ownership wang didn't see any of my money, and Malkin won't now until he has the smarts/guts to replace the GM with someone who can see what this roster is and make the hard, but necessary, moves to get it back on track.
Because right now to me any fan that is whining that any sort of retool/rebuild is "going to take years" is totally blind to how many years Lou is costing us with each passing move (or non move) he makes. His GMing is burying us into the purgatory of being nowhere near a Cup, up against the cap, but nowhere near being able to draft those game-changing franchise players.
Hope is wonderful...But only when it's warranted. Since Trotz left any fan that thinks we have any chance of winning a Cup is in denial, but calling it hope. There's no hope now until there is change.
I am I dropped cable last weekend and returned my boxes on Monday.Anyone using Fubo?
If they somehow turn this 2 game winning streak into a 5 game winning streak, that should be enough for a wild card spot. We're so back baby!!!!From Lou’s comments to a frustratingly out of character win, yesterday felt like a bucket of water thrown over our hopes and dreams of breaking out of the cycle of mediocrity.
Respectfully disagree. It is the only leverage fans have against disinterested and often manipulative owners who think nothing of squeezing every last dime that they can from the faithful. Owners should be as faithful to their fans as those fans are to the team that they own and when they ignore them the fans should return that favor.You can still enjoy watching your favorite team, and heaven forbid, even buy Isles gear even when the team is not necessarily moving in the direction you want.
