I haven't commented in a while, so i need to get some things off my chest
First, although Lane Lambert is a "disciple" of Barry Trotz , there is ZERO reason to believe he can lead a team , help a team learn, know how to react when things are bad , play better when things are going well, etc. Barry knew how to do those things. It seems now that Lane was more along for the ride when Trotz was here than soaking in the Trotz wisdom. What I'm trying to say is.... there MUST be someone better out there to lead this squad. Lane is NOT the one, nor are his assistants.
Secondly, Zeeker, who I'd rather go back to calling him Casey since i don't feel all warm and fuzzy about him anymore since his stupid remarks, thanks for showing us your true colors.
Us, hard working people, who pay damn good money to see our team play, can react to the game and the team in whatever way we see fit (Yay, Boo, He's a bum, the other team stinks, fire the coach, etc. ) . For the fans , it has been a loooooong time since we have "Drank from the Cup". Two deep playoff runs to wet our beak does not give you the right to address our comments like that. How about try harder? How about just play the game you've been (probably over) paid for and shut up? In addition, the intelligent Long Island fan base knows exactly WHEN to chant WHAT they chant. Maybe, Casey, you should listen to the fans...... or just stay home.
Sadly, it looks like the Islanders took Casey's advice and "STAYED HOME" during this horrendous stretch. (Horrendous PK , losing early leads and poor coaching).
They say a vast majority of teams that are in playoff position at Thanksgiving , qualify for the playoffs at the end of the season. The Islanders (probably) won't be in playoff position next week at this time so I ask you... Does this Islanders team even closely resemble a team that can play way above and beyond CONSISTENTLY (because that's what it will take) to become a playoff team this season?
I know, I don't want to say the answer either.
Maybe one of you can lend some insight that I am missing from this team that, if kept intact (players, coaches and all), they can turn this season around before it is too late.
Thanks for the comment; understand wanting to vent ... right now fans are upset and disenchanted, next is being indifferent if they don't turn things around and that's the worse case scenario.
