0 for the road.....

Well the 3 game road trip is over. The good news is we had a lead at one point. We didn't get shut out any of the 3 games. Al MOntoya got a start. (But the team gave up 50sog and montoya lost in ot and coach promptly benches him again for nabakov who to his credit, didn't give up all 3 goals in the first period. Remember, this is the positive part of the blog.

Well the glass half empty, this team sucks. All positive talk and optimism coming into this season is all but gone. Islanders coaches and shills can no longer point to the record and tell us fanatical
fans to relax. And that its early. And lay off the coach. And snow is a genius. And the team has so much young talent. This team for all intents and purposes, SUCKS. Once again the isles are the laughing stock of the eastern conference. Once again the isles are all but out of the playoff race and its mid-November.

This team failed to address its needs. A big top 4 defensive d-man and a gritty top 6 fowards who can forehead. This team remains the cheapest professional sports organization in north America. There unwilling Ness to spend money on a decent scouting staff, a decent NHL CALIBER gm, and most importantly, A REAL NHL COACH. The last nhl coach we hired was Ted nolan and all he did was get us into the playoffs with a backup goalie. Then he had us fighting for a playoff spot and asked for some offensive help to keep fighting. Instead he got some vets traded away and then was
let go.

Now the record is at 4-7-3. ??? Actually I'm Soo pissed I'm not even sure. Bad journalism? Yes, but I blog about an aweful team. So it all fits. Will there be any changes? Will there be any decent changes coming? Will anything happen or do they wallow into the abyss again? My feeling is that this is what we get. Another lost season. Maybe ill Nino gets a shot but even of he scores 36 goals for us (ala m grabner last year) , it won't make any difference.

This team has a counterfeit owner, a joke for a gm, a niceguy but honestly a coach who cart get his team to respond. Until major change is.made, it will be a long season, seasons, decade. It's really sad. Perhaps KC would be the best thing for this team.
